Thoughts of You

Thoughts of you fall like colorful confetti 
Cooking my brain like soft spaghetti 
Water flows through my veins no blood
For you vampire drained me with sucks 
And I couldn’t get enough 
Self sacrificing for lime love
That smells of pine and lavender
In the thickest part of winter
Are you warm or is it charades charm
For love is always fresh in indigo infancy 
Melting hearts red painting sky blue
My soul consumed you like red cherries
Fruit in my womb like bright strawberry 
From kisses and reminiscences like cranberries 
Bitter sweet to be so heavy with child
I can never get away from your smile
Despite the end of romance so wild
Is it that you can just walk away 
And I can honestly say
Some seasons must end that way

Thanks! I know we were unequally yolked NOW and looking back it was best. I did have a wonderful son from the union. He is a poet here named Tahj Jones. His work is much more socially conscious than mine and he is a bit of a philosopher. Proud of the man he is coming from a single mom!

A moving tale of love that derailed from the normal track but has left a trail of sweet and sad memories. Your resignation at the end is touching, dear Karen.
