Blood Orange

Tucking memories in my pocket

I saw her today

the color of dusk

floating upward

with grace

Tucking memories in my pocket

I felt radiance of her aura

highlighted by the sun

juicy blood orange

fading away

into her future

Tucking memories in my pocket

rustling breeze

hypnotizing beauty

captured in my heart

green silk eyes distant

Tucking memories in my pocket

I drowned today

in ocean of tears

cerulean anguish

Tell me I’ll be okay

Tucking memories in my pocket

I thought I saw our future

in the depths of her eyes

but mourned as I absorbed

I saw only the past.
