fresh cut grass

 

 

A summer breeze

always reminds

me of you

 

I scent

you’re fragrance

fresh cut grass

 

slip tenderly

into view...

and I simmer

 

in the warmth

tender breath

of you near.

 

It wasn’t easy

holding on letting go

Learning how to smile

 

-without you-

 

Peeling through

farewell layers

Sipping widow tears.

 

-quietly-

 

 Each day I will

....will myself....

To grow stronger

 

- to honor you-

 

For the one thing

They could not

…BURY…was…

 

-my love for you-

 

A summer breeze

…will. always....

Remind me of you.

Author notes

Contest prompt: Aegis of Heimdel Auditions

I've learned (painfully)
lost love whether it be
living or six feet under
aches the same tender
-pain-
poetry has taught me
the strength of our INK AND WILL
is no match-for-any pain.

-to honor-
is to not drown
but to live-through-our tender tears.
(I wrote my greatest fear)

(we bought a new riding mower
and my hubbs has gone insanely
compulsive...daring the weeds to
grow so he can mow ..smiling
ear to ear.
(it must be a "guy thing" )
MEN!
(will we ever understand them?)

    Yes.

    you're --> your
    slip --> slipped
    warmth --> warm

    Tenses aren't consistent, but neither am I. Lovely.

    this is great, you've been able to capture a small reminder of a loved one and turn into a beautiful poem, it's funny how some of the most simple things can bring us back to something or someone great.....loved it!
