Faint Recollections of a Fateful Day

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

If once upon a time could bring back

Fairy tales I chased outside

Enchanted forests in my mind

I’d write my fabled hero labors

With a hint of her sublime

Confusion, calm and innocence

Her sorrow eyes as elegant

As ballerina dancing leaves

The steps we sat upon and spoke

Of nothings sweeter than the sound

Of incandescent laughter chiming

All around us in the air

The crisp of autumn on her lips

That taste of lust amidst her kiss

Betwixt us coalescing pure

Was love in its imperfect form

Simplistic as the heart is deep

Intricacies as numerous

As any secrets I could keep

Of no day more fortuitous

inspirational
