Forever And A Day

 

Atop a gently rising hill

stands an ancient Oak.

Its broad, green soaked limbs

seem to be hugging the sky,

painting its blueness

with white, billowy clouds.

While laying under its shade,

you and me,

our fingers entwined,

look skyward,

play the old cloud game,

and dream.

+++

There is a slightly flavored,

lilac and wildflower,

breeze.

It tickles our skin

with similes of wonderment;

with the sweet aroma of hope.

It is one of those days

you wish would last forever.

And then I awoke.

+++

Awake now,

coffee brewing,

but my mind has landed on forever.

Forever is a haunting

surreal concept

tossed about frivolously

by ignorant idealists;

a concept

that eats your heart

with its pointed,

demonic teeth.

It laughs in your face

with serpentine delight

as it sucks out

the marrow in your bones.

Forever

lasts only as long as

sweetly colored dreams

don’t transform into darkness

and nightmares.

+++

 

There is a forever though –

it is the forever of death.

And the forever

of missing you..
