Pigtails and Blueberry Muffins

Silly stream of consciousness write.

She sleepwalks in her gossamer gown,
while daydreaming of her once paramour.
He sailed away
never to be seen again beneath
the stretch of the skys raceway.
They met under the mulberry tree,
a sweet blackberry rendezvous.
In the shadows, she lingers
wishing for those days of tic tac toe freckles
and pigtails and
blueberry muffins and butterfly kisses.

She didnt have a chance
to say good bye
because her tears would have
flowed like the Mississippi river
flowing into the backyard of another day.

She sleepwalks in the skeleton shadows of the night
while in the sheerness and mist and the rainbow of the fog.
Stepping through the Spanish moss;
tripping over the garden snakes and the frogs yet to be a prince;
and she remembers his little scar from here to China
upon his chin and his
cigarette hanging from
his thin lips,down to the
crocodile on his brass buckle.

and the love they once shared
walking along the path where
the goldfish pond
used to be; where they used
to skinny dip with their clothes on.

She awakened from her dream;
still wearing her orange high heels,
and does not remember the night before
but the
scent of a blackberry breeze,
  lingers near the back door
of the 57 Chevy.

I like when someone sits down and just lets the words flow. So many things you didn't even know you were thinking of come to the surface. This feels like long lost love and long lost innocence all rolled up into a dream sequence. Nice change of pace, Rose. I like this side of your brain! (The other side is pretty cool, too!) Angi~

Loved the storytelling style of writing here. You've taken everyone on a trip through the mind of someone who loves pigtails & blueberry muffins. Great work SyberRose. An enjoyable read. :)
