Last Summer

My memories of you were never really lost Though fading more in every season's turn But I’ve found at last the nook in which they hide Deep down in forgotten quarters of my mind In a spark my thoughts repaired The bleaching color of your smile and now you are so clear within my heart I realize with the breathing summer air That our memories are scattered everywhere I see us soaring with our kites And our beings dancing with the sultry breeze Within a glance I also see us in the sand With love prints we have left behind, Along with the yearning waves For the promised kiss they'll cast to shores When I peek at our once-shared bungalow My memories there strike me with awe How our love fuels us through the night And how your craving touch tickles my heart The way we fill each others crevices Detonated pleasures sleeping in our flesh And the way we sway in frenzied heat 'Til we reach the skies in sweet delight But one night the envious heavens make a plot With the conniving rain they extinguish our flame I don’t know how to recover from pain When you are taken by the jealous rain But I know your spirit still exist As to our appointed star still shining in the west

Such a beautiful poem, Juan. I hope you enter it in Dr. Ram's "elegy" contest. Very moving. I lost my husband when I was young and I know what you mean when you say "your spirit still exists." I feel him all around me. Love, Carolyn

What a very moving story weaved in your beautiful poem, Juan! You sure used wonderful metaphors here as well--quite a bittersweet write but that's so wonderfully told-- & haha my goodness, you sure left me speechless (although smiling as well) with how my Aphrodite poem moved you ;) Do feel free to print a copy for yourself, I'd be honored if you did-- just a favor? Please include my name there-- super thank you! :)-- nikko :)

Smile ~ "Completely Perfectly Awesomely Beautiful" ~ "Hello Dear Gifted & Wonderful Juan Paolo Galua" ~ What a tragedy when love is stolen away by jealousies of outsiders; never knowing if had they not tampered with its beautiful gift if, its union would have found its way unto loves eternity....Yet, I love the hope within Your final verse my dear friend for, I too have "A Beautiful Love," that I have long now dreamed of spending forevermore with ~ ....Cont:)
