Poem

Under the shade of that proliferous maple tree we'd named
  I'd given you a piece of my naive exuberant heart
   when I handed over a fragment of shimmering red ribbon
     I still remember your reluctant smile masking paranoia

     In shades of twilight wavering from mauve to scarlet
   you'd returned that piece of me when you left
  imprudent to believe in the eternity of young love
I'd vowed to reparate my life to obliviate my scars

Discarded that wretched fragment of red ribbon 
  I'd embarked a journey on a turn to another road
   the miserable ribbon unaware of my reverberating battles
     remained desolate on that spot- my incompetent sword

     A whiplash of raging storm washed it down the cliff
   as I kept descending into your miserable memories
  the fervent stream rolled it forth with the pebbles
As I tossed my desires beneath the pattering raindrops

It crashed against unrelenting waves and surged carelessly
  while I wished my fears would escape like an Albatross
    On a frozen blue midnight it swept along a canopy to the shore
      while the frozen chunks of my innocence gasped under snow

      When Autumn bade farewell, it swooshed along with broken twigs
    as my visions of you began to dissolve into old debts across time
  When it slept beneath the cushions of dried leaves in summer
my fears evanesced in my pleas of mercy for atonement of new journeys

It disappeared in the follies of my young years embraced by time
  and I rose into the skies with the strength of my scars
   Soothing whispers and wailing sobs found an abode together
     my exile demanded a resurrection of my past to attain salvation

      Last year I heard a hurricane had uprooted our dear maple tree
    I retreated the half mile I'd traversed half a decade ago with you 
  Unshackled from your anchor, my ship sailed smoothly till our spot
a fragment of a faded red ribbon fell next to a rising maple sapling

Enchanted by the divine coincidence manifested from my journey
   I buried it with a soothing effervescence releasing you at last
   the sapling of my red penance revived me with hope and bliss
I only remember the red memories now, not how the moments made me feel.
