Memories of Winter Nights

Looking back the way I came, there was really no one to blame We bonded and became friends Over months of happiness and refrain enjoying our company which depended On writing from your side or mine with a pen Like a flower in spring, you stayed a season Long enough to exchange reasons For long awaited friendship through hard times Without much encouragement except for rhymes Claiming visions of poetry and grace out the door you flew without a trace You didn’t say goodbye , just ran off with some foreign guy Attracted like a school girl to the first refrain French is the language of love , so often proclaimed With the lie on your lips you didn’t bother to explain Writing makes u free you say , then why do I feel so sad when I write of you from former days Leaving nothing in return, You have come and gone friendship only left memories when there should have been songs Still I’ll remember thru long winters nights of happy talks , spring flowers and golden lights Where you’ve gone I don’t know, but memories will keep me thru December When spring comes once again I’ll plant a rose to keep me warm and remember
