I’ve often recalled those moments stolen amongst the apple trees where our blushing cheeks matched the brilliance of the red sequined orchard. Each gem ripe and precariously balanced, waiting to fall. …As were you and I… The only poetry needed was the flowing of wind through rain drenched locks of hair. How the droplets kissed your lips... those blue eyes could charm the clouds from the crying skies and steal a thousand moments of spring in one breath, for me, always for me. But we knew the seasons were changing. The monsoon was coming so I collected our embraces as petals of remembrance so our garden would bloom again Once the storm has passed. …And still I wait for skies to clear… |

"The monsoon was coming so I collected our embraces as petals of remembrance so our garden would bloom again Once the storm has passed. …And still I wait for skies to clear…" I so love the way you write and what you write of... "sit on top of the world and tell me how you feel...'cause what you feel is what I feel for you.." |

Dawn, I loved this. Every part of it, was perfect. I spent a great deal of my youth playing in the vast pear orchard, right behind our back fence. This really brought me back. Thank You. Richy |
