today is the birthday of my late best friend.. she and I loved celebrating birthdays, and lately I've been getting signs from her too in different forms..
this poem is for her. .. in remembrance...
grief, lives within always..
when skies bleed
your sonnets~
every drop of
garnet rain
rhymes
with ethereal initials
of your s u n f l o w e r
sonatas
I remember when
our eyes reflected
like celestial f i r e f l i e s
watching beach
bonfires
kiss
the rouge
sherbet clouds
drifting through hues of
lavender linings
knitting a tapestry of
tinker bell dreams
I long to return
and turn back t i m e
to marigold monsoons
painting
horizons
with
star-kissed
s u n s e t s
in scarlet sage feathers
whilst pixie-fairies
swirl with us
singing amidst
childhood fears
braving through
weeping
waves of w o e s
crashing upon
hidden traces
in hourglass p e a r l s
of fleeting
t i m e
soaked in seas
of sizzling s t a r s
as our tiny fingers
craft crystalline castles
with regal conch shells
found along
moon lily s h o r e l i n e s
where tansy vines twinkle
like twilight tears
reflecting runes of
rosemary ribbons
scattered across
raisin black spheres
I wonder now
do rivers in heaven
flow with
aurora calligraphies
carrying your
lyrical l a u g h t e r
For I can feel your
poetic glitter on my
toffee-hued skin
as I scribble our
secrets in rose gold i n k
with red diamond l e t t e r s
on slipping pages
of perfumed life
Maybe I should
r e s t my quill
let thoughts
walk through
holographic hallways
of yesterdays
within my
nocturnal mind
allow nature to guide me
back to the turquoise
arms of tranquility
t i m e can heal
mourning hearts
connected through
mellifluous m e m o r i e s
when storms slow dance
to the
symphony of g r i e f
let wind take away
p a i n
and illuminate wilted flowers
to thrive as souvenirs
amidst
the forest of n o s t a l g i a
