Bittersweet Memories - a Repost
Whispering sighs through the white birch trembling
Like the sweet sounds of my whispering word
Against soft crevices of your flesh, mumbling
Expressions of ardent love went unheard.
Summer love slipped before beyond my grasp
Left stale memories in my aching heart,
Two hearts lovingly entwined, two hands clasped
Before cool autumn ripped us apart.
I strolled beneath the canopying birch
Recalled pleasures underneath their singing,
When I walked beside the village church
I heard sounds like the chapel bells ringing,
Bittersweet musing on this occasion
Another poignant summer persuasion.
