My heart would always beat for you
Sadly enough -- today it stopped.
In your head it might still echo
But in reality it does not.
As if you would forget me
When the sound ceased to exist.
I will always be a memory
That lingers like a cyst.
Do you remember me,
my love,
Or those sparkling summer days?
Or how the solstice sun shone,
While the sea breeze flowed through the hills?
Or the golden fields,
The clear blue skies,
The shimmering sapphire sea,
The dusty earthen trails
Under the canopy of the redwood trees?
No,
I thought not.
For, to you, those days
Are merely some more summer days,
Days of no importance.
But,
For me,
Those days were days
Of Wonder,
Of Magic,
Of flowers of joy and bliss blossoming in the air.
It was when
I discovered the meaning of life,
When I discovered love
In your beautiful eyes
And your enchanting smile.
To you,
I am now a mer
September's but a whisper,
a curl of autumn
on your cheek
or a wanton leaf
left lazing
in the tawny gold
of dusk;
and the amber scent
of pears,
succulent and slumbering,
slips idly
off your skin
and sends my restless senses
yearning...
