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~

this reminds me of my ex wife, Robin....with the September reference and the summers nuances, it is all too familiar....your writes always touch me, but this one has made me dig up some bones and given pause for some very deep reflection. excellent write!
