This is my contribution to Neha’s poetic collaboration entitled, “Once More”. Do consider adding your verse to the others who have contributed. If you’re unfamiliar with Neha’s open posts, please read the directions found here:

Calling all Creative Minds/Poets/Artists to a poetic collaboration – “Once more”

Rays of sunlight
Kiss the mountains below
Spring says, “Follow me”
Has summer, in tow

Warmer days ahead
Once more, we sigh
As the season changes
In the blink of an eye

Leaving, for ports unknown, he said

She felt that pang, a silent dread

No longer anchored, her feelings, kept

She watched, then turned and quietly wept

Bracelets around her wrist, a reminder

No matter what, he’d always find her

For she was his reason to come back alive

The only thing he needed, to survive

The long journey’s, carried over the seas

Knowing she’d be waiting, his beautiful Elouise

You could tell by the look on her face
It was something she’d never embrace

Mama promised, if she got it right
A sweet surprise, would be her delight

Dressed up, in white lace and pink flowers
She tried to do it, for hours and hours

Lying down in the grass, quite exhausted
This whole curtsy deal had her daunted

Angered, indeed, by her now dirty knees
She’d rather lie there, than forever be taunted
