January Jones

we met in September under cloudy circumstances

rolled out in May around a coconut stick,

the length of October you remained

while others looked away

thoughts from my head

peek through these fingers

and onto the page

coming alive in a dream

you are here

we scrambled for days and nights and back again

time stood still while we,

oblivious to all 

continued in spite of the pain

November came

it wasn't enough to know

untouched is how we left it

unspoken 

if I could rewind

return to another time

knowing what I do

I would still choose you

it never changes around the outside

how the sun scorches red and blue

laughter is bare around angry hearts

time stood still

while we,

oblivious to all

refrained

when there was no reason to

December blue

and yet

who's to say it was the right thing

who's to say it was wrong?

all I know is that we were there

all along

on a very dark ride

back to the phones,

January Jones...

What an awesome blend of light and dark though out this prolific masterpiece of the heart. Love how you so eloquently made use of both nature and the different seasons great use of imagery. Certainly a piece we can all relate to. Having posed some really good questions along the way. Love the ending, very poignant...

i like how you were using the seasons early on in this piece....wish you had come back to them...but yes, well penned because this is how it sometimes feel...the good and the bad come together...and even when things don't work out and despite the pain, we would go back there again.
