Painting Memories
It was if the brilliant blue sky
Was painted across the world
Just for us today
Her smile lit her eyes
Just as bright as the sun in the sky
And I swallowed every moment greedily
Knowing I would look back on it
With my pen and paper
And spill her beauty upon the page
You now read
The insects thrummed irregular symphony beats
While we lay content
Allowing our troubles to fade
As the wind shifted the branches
Above our heads
Kaleidoscoping our lay down view
Between golden yellow beams of light
And a green confetti of pecan tree leaves
We wished the moment
Was ours to have forever
Maybe Time is fleeting
And can never be saved
But my best chance at giving her
The forever she craves
Is now complete
With this last word.
