Poem
Today I've been savoring vignettes of summer memories that I've kept folded within the safe haven of my heart. Your comforting touch, warmer than a summer breeze was my purpose in life; contained in my every thought. I cherished all of our twilight saunters along the beach, and recall the tenderness of your lips with each gentle kiss. The distance between us, you were the first to breach. But I never expected our summer romance to end like this. Our lust for life and each other shifted by summer's end. We'd fallen in love, one stronger than granite, we vowed. A small plastic ring, you placed upon my finger as a friend, then whispered, "I love you." You said the words aloud. Even mountains made of stone can erode and fall apart. Time takes its toll, leaving behind brittle parts of the past. How do I explain to the ache still inside my bruised heart that some summer romances were never meant to last? This eager heart remembers your kisses and softest touch. Those mellow new dawns upon the windblown sandy beach. That long moonlit night when I declared, "I love you so much." And you my darling, that night swore better love to me teach! I cherished the way you promised to give me your beautiful life. You stood in that pale blue gown awaiting my affectionate kiss, Swearing by every means, you would end my hurt and strife. It is of these precious recollections that I choose to reminisce. O' lord, every fairy princess, your beauty would've out shown. You swore to me an oath of love as if it was your marriage vow. I beg, tell me why you left me like a wind turned hellish blown? Was our love making the kind that disappointed you somehow? A promise of us eternally has now crumbled like a fallen fence And every newborn basking dawn capsized like a sinking boat. You, my sweetheart, were you not truly happy with this prince? Are memories of us together just verses of poems I once wrote? A collaboration by Lin Lane and Robert Lindley. *Robert, it's been far too long since we shared our poetic thoughts. Thank you for graciously accepting my verses and transforming them into "ours."
