Tony Bush Poet Verse

Forget

I cannot forget the taste of her, 
how the cinnamon tingled on my buds 
and quivered on my tongue. 
I cannot forget the feel of her, 
how the sensors of my palms 
by electric wasps were stung. 
I cannot forget the look of her, 
how she painted icons with her flesh 
and drew me all the while. 
I cannot forget the face of her, 
how she stood beneath the morning sun 
with radiating smile. 
I cannot deny the dream of her, 
how it haunts my empty sleep, 
pervades my waking hours. 
I cannot accept the loss of her, 
confusion throttling my thoughts 
like weeds that strangle flowers. 
I cannot reject the honesty, 
the truth of what she was to me 
in any given view. 
I cannot express the magnitude 
of how much she is part of me 
in all I see and do...
