You were
frosted beer mugs
rocking chairs
a shaded porch
strong arms encircling
tender hands comforting
gathering cod from seines
beach fires
indiscriminate dancing
cool sheets, warm breath
laughter
midnight cigarettes
babes in arms
blue pills, dark rum
IV drips
held hands
tears
thunder storms, lightning strikes
post calm
ploughed earth
parsnips
dahlia, lupin
snow on the back field
pink dawn
joy
remorse
my life
our ballad
on and on
then
gone

Inspired by
imaginary garden with real toads - Love

Skywriting - Ballad
"...our balad on and on then gone....." So powerful!
ReplyDeleteBallad.
ReplyDeleteThis is achingly beautiful!💝 I particularly like; "post calm, ploughed earth, parsnips, dahlia, lupin snow on the back field, pink dawn, joy, remorse."
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! Grandfather? Father?
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful...memories hold us when arms can't
ReplyDeleteA wonderfully evocative love list! I can see each image individually and as a collage of memories. The shift from happy to sad and the ending are so poignant.
