Initial Thought
book-frame stands bedside
with you and me on both sides
stark togetherness.
glasses of our drinks
reflects the merry within
happy together
wonderful times those
blissful episodes of love
invokes countless smiles
tear trickles on frame
stains glass over our faces
cry smudges laughter
forlorn memories
of times of togetherness
stabs me often and again
Second Version
book-frame stands bedside
with you and me on both sides
burning autumn gold
glasses of our drinks
reflects the merry within
cherry trees on full bloom
wonderful times those
blissful episodes of love
chirping birds around
tear trickles on frame
stains glass over our faces
dense forest of snow
forlorn memories
of times of togetherness
wandering in dark

I really liked the first version… then I read the second. It’s hard to say better or best… that doesn’t really apply. But if you forced me to pick one… I’d say the second… it was a smoother ride a gentler tide a cool hand luke… nicely done

I love you gave us both versions. I admit to enjoying the nature references very much in the second version. Beautifully done.
