Three Poems by Mary Bone

 

Colliding Hearts

 

A man on a saxophone

played our song in a crowded room.

Someone sang in a baritone voice

the feelings in my heart.

Mosaic images began to appear

in my mind,

as the music brought memories

of another time,

when our love was new.

I knew you and I could never meet

out on the street,

because our hearts would collide.

 

 

Stow Away

 

My memory tried to erase you-

to wipe you out

of every nook and cranny.

You are a stow away,

that swings on the cobwebs

of my thoughts.

 

The Bloom of Spring

 

One spring we shared together-

we were up in the early hours

talking on the porch.

We talked about our dreams.

The sun was shining brightly.

We picked berries and flowers.

Our love bloomed so radiantly,

that spring.
