September, Again

How many beautiful songs
Give praise to September
How many years will go by
Till I won’t remember,
That was to be our always month
But always dissolved in a March freeze
When elsewhere, you found warmth
As I, found my knees

Learning to bounce, then
From pillar to post
As rolling fog on the plains
Brings slivers of ghosts
And I see them now,
Within the trees
With the wolves and bison
Dead memories

I wouldn’t be a June bride
So looked toward the fall
To be taken by you
And to give you my all
So when the fog rolled in
On this September morn
I felt the time roll, too,
As that “little death” is still mourned.

Not that I miss you,
No, it’s truly not so
But the death of a dream,
‘twas a most terrible blow
For we thought to abhor
The sounds of divorce
And we stated in stride
We’d know not its remorse.

I try to fall through this month
Without counting the years,
But the fog brings the feel
And time? Well, it fair seared
My mind with what could have been
And for sure, of what was,
And you’d think, decades later
I’d lose this faint buzz

Of those promises still here
For I had believed in them so
But they remain in my ears
Albeit sans glow
So like the fog in drift
Till the sun comes to burn
I’ll scatter this ash
And nevermore yearn

For what love you so carelessly cast
And pray the fog shall melt the past.

Karilea . . .

But the death of a dream,

For we thought to abhor

And we stated in stride
We’d know not its remorse.

Yes, right now for me
*smile and hugs*
beautiful writing

Bittersweet write..from the title to the end.
I love this sweet lady...and I'm keeping it!
~Soft smiles and tender hugs~

    ~ Summer can't be over...
I still have the sand in my shoes ~

Now that was a tad emotional over my morning coffee, now I have salt in my cup!  Beautiful writing as always Karilea, and I thougth I would tell you what September means to me - housework!  

I don't want to know where I am heading, it will spoil my journey.
Carpe' Diem
