Blood Brothers

Pink Mimosa shades like umbrella over yard
Spilling memory of the dig of youth’s slender arms
Feathered and fragile reminders of the cost of time
And my curved anticipation waiting to be rhyme

Where does one go to hear the hymn of a chorus
Of neighborhoods where memory is buried in a forest
Where blackberry brambles hold the tattered paperback
With pages turned down next to a bottle in a paper sack

We slid into the culvert with honey hungry thoughts
And touched the satin place of friends forget me not
Even bled into each others wounded brotherhood
You said though I was just a girl I was still pretty good

The culvert’s still a cut of land all filled in redwood trees
And blackberries are the jungle land of children still I see
And the sweet taste of the fruit of youth lingers on my tongue
Where you and I made promise that could never be undone

Martie...you just took me back
and made me remember 'innocent' times like this...
Exquisite sweet poetess.

Martie,
Were we in the same woods? Wow...cool memory that evoked a few of my own. Thanks for that.

And the sweet taste of the fruit of youth lingers on my tongue

I love that line the most...

Show you care to those you love...today.

You do bring back the haunts of time...
and here I am shaking my head,
wondering if that was you
across the street...

Martie,
when you reminisce - I travel with you.

Unforgotten moments...where promises are made
and never broken....

Where many of our memories remain within us
to this day....as we smile to some, and
possibly shed a tear of sadness to another.

Beautiful words, Martie...

(smiles) Oh Martie, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, though I never grew up during these wonder years, I too envisioned it so much through the nostalgic feel of this and smiled just thinking what it could be like now! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
