I Cannot Remember, When ?

Longing for the flowers that adorn my garden patch I open wide the door that I imagine sits unlatched Inside this magic land of mine, I'm longing to explore every dainty blossom bud arranged with sweet adore Une belle Epoque, "a period of high artistic view" each boutonnieres is a whisper of, " and how are you ?" Abiding in the charms of my annual florets, I sit and take to wonder, how it is that we first met It was Maytime and the sun was oh ! bran new yes we were enamored and we stuck like crazy glue Two petals sharing one flower, we clung like poetry leaning on each other sharing secrets, drinking tea Oh but that was long ago, when love was all we knew two flowers growing wild aside some gentle feverfews Steadfast as the sun and moon we were back then as I sit here in my garden for the life of me, I cannot remember, when ?

a poignant and delicate poem, dear Rose. I loved the contemplative nature of your words as you remember tender, new love steadfast as the sun...but when was that? I sometimes ponder those questions. The demonstration of our love has changed over time...and I used to wonder what happened to that love. Came to the conclusion it's still here just flowers in the garden differently than it did before. I especially liked: we clung like poetry leaning on each other sharing secrets, drinking tea!

I love how your poem is a tender exploration of love and memory, inviting the reader to wander through the garden of nostalgia and reflect on the fleeting beauty of time and relationships

Excellent even if ending rather sadly. Time passes and we strive to remember in vain. Hugs.

Dementia? Or maybe the early onset? It's sad when it happens, though for those with a sad life maybe a blessing of sorts

Yes its hard when those we love watch us forget bit by bit, I pray that never happens to those I love, but unfortunately we have all been touched by extended family members thanks for reading.
