You Will Remember

You can simply lay me there in shade of trees
that slowly breeze their umbrage with the 
ephemeral sun, a caress with tenderness across this
          fragile frame.
You can leave me here, where fragrance of freshly
rained grass will wash over us with the warmth
you used to bathe and sprinkle subsequently
          with perfume.
You can lay me here and sit, watching
clouds move with grace of swans, or ponderous
nobility of elephants, blocking the sun with their
          tenacious bodies.
And when you go, you will shed some tears, love
in your heart and remembrance of all the words
we spoke, or never said, all the arms and legs and
          raging love.
You will remember, you will remember.

Phillip Garcia Date: 5/6/2017 3:32:00 PM Geez Dee-Dub. It's certainty beautifully composed and full of wonderful imagery. The ponderous nobility of elephants blocking the sun with their tenacious bodies is jaw-dropping. Still, it pains me to see you inspired to such a sad write.

But thank you for liking the poem, and especially the elephants. I agree that it's a sad poem, sometimes I can't help it.
