Swimming with Cindy
Magical summers lost,
Bike rides through the city
Laughing beneath autumn trees,
Dreams of parks and tennis courts
Still hurt my heart,
Paul Verlaine and Rimbaud days
Innocently writing poems
And singing songs…
I want to love someone
In an astonishing way
But all I embrace anymore
Is my darkness and obscurity.
The image of the scarf flows in front of me as I read your first stanza and the magic of it all. Things change and your last stanza is the lemon icing on the cake! 10 Karin Anderson
nice cognitive metaphor: ''But all I embrace anymore Is my darkness and obscurity.'' wonderful realistic poem.........10
