Forget

 

Forget with me future’s fickle fortune

And sad memories of days long gone by

Lets bed our worries on a soft sand dune

Blanket dreams with silky star-studded sky

My heart is your pillow and so my eye

 

Discard all that was to be deployed

For life is but moments to be enjoyed

Author's Note

There is nothing like a night spent in the desert with the love of your life.

this is beautiful. so hopeful & inspiring. "Forget with me future's fickle fortune And sad memories of days long gone by" this is most definitely something we all should do every once in a while. really the only thing that brings us pain is the past & the future, the present, this very moment, usually isn't all that bad. and the ending is brilliant. "Discard all that was to be deployed For life is but moments to be enjoyed" how often we forget. wonderful write.

Huge fan of alliteration so you had me at your first line. And the ending rhyming couplet was fantastic. Nice piece

Could be a mantra. Mystical to me.

. ah, sheer beauty ... ravishing words about a gorgeous love ... (you're a master of alliteration) ... i long for that ... i think there is something timeless about the desert ... and that comes across so beautifully in your timeless words ... but even more beautiful is this line "for life is but moments to be enjoyed" ... it really is and we forget that so often ... thank you for this surreal reminder, WM ...
