Yellow

Closing my eyes brings back the bloom of your
fair cheeks on that faraway May afternoon,
calling to me as I sort through my dulled memories.

These many years, I have kept the
corpse of that daisy chain...how it
selfishly languished across your neck,
gloating at me!

The arid late-day made the warmth
of your skin waft through the air as we
laughed about things that didn't matter.

Time has taken you, as it has tarnished
this golden lock of your hair.
Alas! So, too, shall time rob even more
of what I have left of you.
