summer's last kiss

       
my sunflowers have all died        
your eyes the golden orbs        
that shone light on them    
no longer glow here      
       
my wildflowers        
have lost their summer petals        
the winter's chill felt        
when you went away        
       
you left your moon        
the cold side of you        
in place of the sun        
       
i feel its bite        
you can't taste        
my flavor anymore        
       
you've long since walked off the field        
without a glance back        
as i played carelessly        
with thoughts that summer        
would last forever        
       
your warm poetry        
floated across the seas        
& enchanted me        
your masculinity ensconsed me        
gave me a home        
       
i sang off key notes to you        
& you pretended not to hear        
an operatic perfomance        
is what you heard instead        
in me you saw rare beauty        
       
i've faded from your sight        
another is in your view        
i feel her shadow        
cast across my poetic horizon        
       
i cry for my loss        
& say a toast to your new love        
       
cheers        
       
       
       
       
       
       
*note it's a flower day
