Elegiac Romance
Bittersweet days of elegiac romance
Barren branches lit by sunset epilogue
Front porch memories settle like leaves
On lawn haunted by love
Where she sat in pecan heaven
Gathering nuts like pieces of joy
My heart filled with sparkling water
Drank in her happiness
Each sip of her smile
Ignited the palate of my emotions
With sweet sassafras endearment
Winter mint chill
Of her distant life
Felt like cardiac arrest
When the mind sinks deep
Through layers of sorrow
Weary dreams of sleep
Elusive as comets
In the night sky

Mmm, honey..this is beautiful. So many smells sensations and tastes to bring alive feelings and the tangibility of memory..and losing them.
The last part made me feel cold. I do love your peoms too Darlin boy.
Love you now and ever

Awww honey I love knowing this brought alive sensations for you. I wrote this a long time ago after my divorce. I have fond memories of my former wife collecting pecans in my grandparent's front yard. She brought them home to sell them. Now my grandparents are gone and she is a friend. It adds poignancy to this poem for me. Thank you my love for all the heart you put into your comments and poetry. You make my work come alive through your words.
Love forever and ever,
John
