It Is Alright to Forget Me

My Sweet Love~

It is alright if you forget me

but never forget the love

I had for you~

When the moonlight shines upon my hair

and the wind whispers in my ear

I will think of you~

And in the spring

when the purple iris bloom

and in summer when the

heat of the day consumes me

I will think of you~

And In the autumn when

the leaves begin to fall

and they are wind swept

with September

I will think of you~

In the winter of my life

as I gaze into the darkness

as the snowflakes fall

I will remember

the secrets we once shared~

Songs of trumpeted angels

in my heart sing~

The allure of jasmine teases my lips

as the solace of the night unfolds its petals~

I embrace you for the last time

hoping that time will stand still~

The opalescence of the crescent moon

haunt the ancient mission bells~

Beneath the blanket of stars, you and I,

our last night together, a memory~

A memory of your eyes of ocean blue

Your voice whispers your love to me

our last night of sweet jasmine, let it be~

Trumpeted angels in our hearts, play on

The moon and passionate nights could be ours

but the ancient mission bells toll adieu~

It is alright if you forget me

because I will always remember you~

hello :)
thank you for such a beautiful poem! I loved the vivid imagery and i'm sure the repetition of 'jasmine' has a certain motive to it.

[SyberRose]
