Our Season

We are not defined by weather for it was summers touch that fated us We met most certainly like comets in an October sky Unaware of love at first sight Dimmed by the light of a blue divorce And single parenthood of sorts Call me you said instantly this led To that seasons question....Why? Why didn't I have more children you asked Why didn't your marriage last I wondered just as fast For you are salt n pepper seasons finest You fancied your ex as your highness But that season is spent You shared you cried and then But that she was OK Sure as the sun rose that day Did I see your heart bleed Very uncomfortable for me For cupid played a trick Neither of us knew it...or did you? Perhaps our two hearts were thrown in a pot and slow cooked all winter I remember Novembers wish You my love sent a mind kiss A prayer because Thanksgiving was there right? I'd see you a few times to see about my car's noise Your eyes I try to avoid But this season is too spent like past tuition or rent Spring would come and I would too If only we were in our groove If only we could not lament on love but just be patient and trust We bite the apple in June Wondering is it love in bloom You define it as selfishness Your list I miss despite a kiss Was I wrong to share a view? A fantasy that involves a zipper and you June 1st will always be special Juneteenth we spent together Why did you turn away it seems you sabotage us by blocking me Summer is hot I feel it in vain wrote poems of you due to pain If it isn't love why does it hurt Why be afraid of it why be a jerk? The seasons we shared are like wine And can only get finer in time I love you with the love of the lord Except for the touch you try to avoid This season is curious for it is green Full of experience that life brings We have one truth we have a past That sprouts new love in fresh green grass Pot is on simmer and I can wait For the gourmet dinner that cupid makes
