June-In-Spoon

~*Marge Tindal*~

I have tasted this June-in-spoon
Palette whet with wet
Saline memories found the rain
and they cry me yet~

Borrow of sorrow
cupped in sips of used-to-know
Porcelain heart cannot contain
the seeping overflow~

Stir of bitter-sweet surrounds me
blend of past in broken cup
Oh, the memories have found me
now they fill me up~

Tasting now of June-in-spoon
saucer sips delicately drawn
I would not miss the spill-of-remember
sweeter still ... though you are gone~



~Yeah ... I know ... but it has to be~
Mike, Mother, and Shari
June 2002

Your poem leaves me breathless, Marge...
I love the way you elevated a simple object to such exalted heights.

You and Helen have the same kind of thoughts ... just different spooning

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Marge:  A hauntingly beautiful memory of some sadness in your life. They always hurt, but we all have a need to remember!

I truly love this stanza especially, how apt and heartfelt.  Sometimes it's so important for us to acquire that taste of bitter-sweet to truly appreciate the meaning of life, of love.

*hugs*

If I should pick a favorite part
From this lovely "pour of heart"
I would repeat your every letter...
For it doesn't get much better. *S*

This is beautiful, Marge... {{{{{HUGS}}}}} for you as you allow remembering to bring both smiles and sorrow. *S*
