Memories of You
We met in October and walked hand in hand
Kicking leaves down country roads with canapes of gold
Picked our pumpkins from fields of yellow
Made love amongst the creaking stalks of dying corn
And rode a tractor together, laughing
Summers spent at Dover, licking ice cream as we walked on a pier, kissing
behind the lighthouse, lying on beaches under a tree which rustled in the
summer wind, we lay in the sand and made angels
And now after so many Octobers together, you again lie
under a tree in eternal sleep, and as I sit by your grave
I think, how ironic, as I brush away the Autumn leaves
that dare to cover your grave, and I see them swirl upward in the wind forever,
away and gone - like you, never to return...
