Monsoon Season ©

By CiCi


Tears and rain
Intermingled, they become one
As I and you once were.
I blinked to clear my eyes
And hours later I'm still here
Watching and wond'ring
about this wall

Today as you frolicked in the park
On the grassy knoll,
On the yellow blanket I had bought,
Sipping Cabernet with a twist,
Of Manchego and Brioche,
Exchanging sultry glances and
Fluttery kisses as your
Skillful fingers chased
Sun-kissed tendrils from her nape...
I looked on and remembered.

But this wall
It has become so high and thick
From, I know not whence.
I've called out to you
But you hear me not
I have become this shade in which I stand
A pebble off your sidewalk
A thistle by the way...
Trying to forget how to remember
