May Reminds Me

I light a Candle
By Souladareatease


I wrote You in lemon juice
have You deciphered it yet I'm
The mountain home is still there
I tend it regular
the garden grows without tending
A testament to strength
I watch the windows freeze
Ice capades frosting shape
Scratched as warmth
What's known to the inside
Remember its tucked hillside too
I think of the chilis, how well they grow
Astride yellow corn spreads the sweet
Gentle hugs we share between the rake
I think You may be under the impression
This slipped my memory
But a lifetime was built along the way
Another life was had, I believe that
Every scenario lived at one point
Shared time of many lives
Connected to mountainsides
With its inherit strength
Your dedication to the wheelbarrow
Tired times resting fireside
Spoken in low tones of folded arms
Entwined whispers atop cushion
Can You see that little winding road
Soft dusts it brings
Snow just lain to dirt paths
How chilly beyond our window
Its fall or Winter
When we find ourselves there
Your other book scribbles to a finish
As I stoke the woodstove, adding apple
Theres cinnamon in the kettle bringing steam
Despite YOU NOT CARING FOR SUCH A THING
TWAS CINNAMON THAT WAS ALWAYS AROUND
YET YOU HUMOR ME as I add another stick
Do You remember, yes I know You do
Over how many lives we deem special
This keepsake never leaves heartclasp
It is carried through the ages
My youth knowing it too
Spoken as truths as we first left the islands
Not many are brave enough to grab those canoes
But we knew, the blue lit destination
Purple'd throws, silken cushions
On a bare wooden floor
Swept up by innocence
Only our hearts would ever know
I live undocumented
Where my sentence is still, lifeless....judged
Someone gave the baby away
An orphaned love
Ripped away holy
Sigh...Another time decides
Yet here we are again
With a wink to blinking images
I wish no more...
Lost causes
That push the test
Let's hope
Memory stays
