Farewell, My Tangerine
...Farewell,..
..My Tangerine..
Brought forth by
Bandits we were
Storming the gates.
.
We were cracking the fallacy
Eating pecans on stone; your
Heart was a pink date pit.
.
I plucked you from a tree;
I tuck you the into sky and
Say goodnight,
Forever free.
.
You'll ne'er come back,
I knew it as I watched you
Walk, brown hair
Orange tabby cat.
Unclasp my hearth & build
Sandcastle anguish. Bring
Southwhistle breeze. Flood
Sandwiching fantasies fervent
Jackfruit falling beneath the
Pep-corn vines & palm trees.
.
I walked on your bridge of
Brittle rushes; I fled to
Your avalanche of oil and
Elysian eyelashes.
You boiled my liver in a
Vat of sea; You endured my
Trampling on your back of
Wax and tinfoil and hay.
.
An amber summit turned
Tinged vermillion and
Starfell into a pit,
Phthalo green greed,
Comet came to feast.
Fruition came into the
Rustic hours all colored
With crayons.
.
Sloping down to the outskirts,
Facing backwards, we trudged:
Away from our home and
Away from our love.

Fine work my friend, the first one got to me a bit. I have a elderly orange boy who watches after me during my wanders. He just showed up 12 years ago. I can see him fading slowly each day.
My thoughts too, when I saw this. Twice in the last 3 years I walked on the path you are enduring. Be strong, and cherish the time you still have.
An excellent blog is one that has harmonized pictures and words. You have succeeded in achieving an incredible harmony between poem and painting. Congratulations on your heart ...
Thanks @dobartim II'll keep trying for the harmony between the spoken and the seen! Thanks for your support...!
I'm not sure but it seems to be a play on colors. I read and re-read you poem and I kept seeing colors. Your pictures were stunning and beautiful, you poem spoke to me of colors of nature and what surrounds us. I know I'm wrong but I really got all sorts of natural colors. :D
Nice and good love poetry 💙💙
