Let's share

Lorenz

Let's share a spoonful of broken sunshine

with a time machine to rediscover

the sweetness  of  lost lips  kisses 

and also a bitter touch of solitude

knocking on the windows ...

Le'ts share a spoonful of moon, 

awaiting the eclipse on the dance floor...

My poetry no longer makes you travel

and there's no more words in the cupboard

of our  empty love ...

Let's share a spoonful of  memories 

before they cool off 

in the whirling dervish  diary ...

I remember a little beach 

with a pulpy taste

on which you ran naked,

offered to the whim of the new wave

and coming back to me ,

burning with the salt of Ibiza or Goa ...

 Let's share a spoonful of vague melancholy

and a few ramblings ...

Our nights were wild satin, 

 shades of spectral  auras,

 bland wedding morning ... 

I threw away this sinful shilom

and all those vinyl records 

now inaudible to the beardless generation !

This time machine has gone mad ...

Did you know that the pope died a bad lemonade ?

The ''café de flore '' closed its doors ... 

Philosophers are busking in the streets 

of the deep state...

 Ma chérie ,I forgot the lyrics of the song 

and I can no longer find the instructions

for a way of  dying ...

The machine broke down during the safari...

 What's left  to share but this spoonful of ashes ?

        A fave for so many great lines and metaphors in this poem. It keeps its course and takes one to the past and its most pleasant moments sweetening the bitterness of the present. It is the sugar in the black coffee. Lovely as always
