Reminiscing Under A Tree

Memories of teenage love always remain. For that was the time for naive expectations and wistful aspirations.

This shade that once saw love in bloom

Keeps part of me till it was lost

And now, found in my thoughts of gloom

Where lonesome pain exacts its cost

The heart and arrow carved in bark

Bring back the days of sunlit bliss

When we would sing blithely as lark

Than be as thieves stealing a kiss

The leaves that fell meant time had passed

Since sweetness from our love withdraws, 

Leaves did collect like dreams amassed

Down on the ground, scattered like straws

Now twigs have each a sprout that cleaves

Seems love might bloom again this Spring

Which comes as soon as Winter leaves

When soon I'll find new songs to sing.

This was very good and brought back memories from long ago to me as well....
First loves of yesteryear seem to always bring a tear. Though always great to remember...back when.
