My Dearest Rashia Poem by Dosvedanya Rashia

My dearest Rashia
Can you know my contemplations
while I linger in the garden
By the sunken place
Where the apricot flourishes
Trying to remember
Trying to forget
The precise look in your eyes
As if you were standing
On a great mountain
and you could see
to the outskirts of the universe

My face was buried in your beautiful hair
As black as the net that holds the stars
And so much softer
Shining with my tears and kiss marks
I barely recall

For everything was a mad blur
As I clutched at time itself
Fighting in the final seconds
To grasp ahold of a sunbeam
And stay with you
And remember you
For the rest of my life

My sweet baby boy
Do you ever recount the summer days
As we ate cantaloupe together
And the roses in our garden
Glowed like the blood of dragons
While you sat in the shade
Of the rosemary tree...

Now I long to remember
And long to forget
While distance increases
And time deepens like a frightful,
Warped pitt
Its bottom inestimable.

My dearest Rashia
Do you ever think of me?
Do your glorious eyes
Of icy elven green
Ever see the picture of us
Holding each other in love?
The one I placed one spring day,
In a tiny crystal cave,
Of breathless twilight.

If you have not forgotten me
For I cannot forget you,
Then take a moment
From your time in heaven
And write me a love letter
Sealed with magic.
Enclose it in peacock feather
Painted with colors
From a palate of glaucophane and bismuth
And mail it in a rain drop..

I'll write you one too
On a rose petal from Scarlet night
And mail it to you
With a golden locket

Translucent smoke
ascending to an unknown address
