‘Grass’ #AtoZChallenge

I’ll sing to you, my love, a song so sweet it will echo for eternity. I long to be near you, but you’ve been taken away to a place I cannot follow. Our hopes and dreams now only memory. I mourn the loss of each cherished moment, each impassioned embrace. I come to this field, run my fingers through the dewy grass as the sun arrives; bask in the shadows as the day retreats. I reach for you, much as I reach for the times we’ll never share again, yet always my hand strikes this vile marker placed above your grace. Still, I feel your radiant smile as I sing; it broadens with each blush upon my cheek. My heart in your hands, as yours is in mine, always.

Welcome to my April AtoZ Blog Challenge post! I hope you enjoyed my ramble, and come back for more! Don’t forget to visit the other bloggers participating by clicking on the badge to the right, or simply using this link. :}

  Thank you, Joe – this one was straight-up romance. (minus the dead part) I’m glad you enjoyed it and understood the nuance behind the words 🙂

  Thank you, and yes, it could – but this particular post is meant for someone special, and their ‘heart’ is their love. Sorry – no horror in this one! 🙂

  One emo moment and you wanna hang a girl? Have you no mercy? She is dead after all – that’s gotta count for something! 😉
