A Forgotten Love

A Forgotten Love

A Poem by JC Hawkens

That which I long for
I left somewhere in the past
My lovely fall dream

When my winter came
Long lost in spring was she gone
My sweet sad sorrow 

Thinking of fall days
Lost in thoughts of tomorrow
May of what will come

Hope of future days
Beauty is she that follows
Hearts mend on morrow

J Hamilton Gist April 27, 2020 at 5:32 PM The past gets us like that, for real, "if only", the "if onlies". Jc Hawkens May 9, 2020 at 12:11 PM I know, right. But what sweet remembrance those memories can be. And in poetic verse, what more adorable.

Pashang Salehi November 18, 2019 at 6:32 PM To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. Your love is within you... Jc Hawkens November 19, 2019 at 4:31 AM Thank you. Something to think about. I do appreciate the comment.
