A Riverfront Poem In Memory of Her In Advance
watching her play guitar
listening to her sing
first, urge for going
next, river
i smile, knowing that these may be her last
holding her and warming her
listening to julian lennon's valotte
recognizing the pattern and the theme of rivers,
we decide to drive there
as i go to get her ocean blue blanket, she smiles at me and laughs
once upon a time we could not stand the sight of each other
the arguments were such that could make a blazing inferno cower
the time that we spent in the auspices of our individual growth matured the loathing into pure love
i laugh with her at the absurdity of our past and history
my sweet pecan praline beauty was diagnosed with terminal cancer five months ago today
the story of this day is joy and jovial benevolence
God Blessed Us with a Good Day for her today
after the complete and total opposite yesterday,
i will take the savings in my tear account and let it draw interest until
i pull up bobby goldsboro's honey on my phone
after making sure she is safe, secure, warm, and okay,
off we go to our favorite riverfront spot
it is where my life so beautifully and wonderfully changed,
and i will cherish that Precious Moment Forever.....
