Weekly challenge #4 was to look at the photograph on the left, of a New York park, and to write a poem, prose or piece of fiction which related to the image.
Being in poetic mode for no reason whatsoever, I fiddled and faddled for a while and came up with something. I'd spend longer on it but with a holiday coming up in the next couple of days there is little chance of being online for a week, so best to do it now while the iron is hot...wherever the iron is, and whoever has it this week.
ON A DAY LIKE THIS.
On a day like this,
It really helps that it’s raining.
If the Sun were here; (shining hard down on me),
I‘d not have made it to the park.
At a time like this,
And I’m really not complaining,
But if you were here; (with your loving arms around me),
I wish that…
I feel that…
I know with all my heart that,
My life wouldn’t be so very dark.
On a day like this,
Three years from the very moment,
That you were last here; (before fading from my sight),
As we sat right by this tree.
At a time like this,
Almost to the very moment,
That I held you close (to try to keep you from the light),
I wish that…
I feel that…
I know with all my heart that,
My love is walking next to me.
On a day like this,
I’m castaway upon an island.
And I want you here; (so I could gaze into your eyes),
As we languish by the sea.
In a world like ours,
Where I'd reach out for your hand,
And feel you draw so close, (before my vision fades and dies)
I’d wish that…
I’d feel that…
I’d know with all my heart that,
You will always live in me.
