Memories of thee and me before a tree’s crown
Eclectic remembrance of the moments we knew
More of the same will not come to pass like a clown
Ordained to pretend life is funny for a few
Remind me of your laugh when we saw the rainbow
Instilling the thought of the Sun and the mountain
Entertaining something darkened turning aglow
Signalling a pact between life and a fountain
O love of my youth when an idea of you
Furnished my room with future failures à la carte
Tantalising nonetheless every aspect’s clue
Heaven in your hair charting a path to your heart
Every moment without you spells the end within
Enveloped in blue with a white streak in a spin
-----
There are memories worth remembering and those that we take to the grave.

Very nicely done. I love acrostic poems.
