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
