Ripped Button
Form: Epistle Sonnet 12 – aba acedb cdcd ee
Theme: Love Subject: Shirt Button
But for the British Summer rain must fall
Sunny days on the beach not guaranteed
Yet we walked the shore on grey days and all
All those memories are ours to recall
So many first moments down by the sea
From a first kiss and a first “I love you”
And when you ripped the button from my shirt
While taken over by your sensual need
Before we rushed home to set our love free
You picked up the button out of beach dirt
And I found it yesterday so you see
That day I recalled in a sudden blurt
Back to the day that greys skies turned blue
A magical moment as if on cue
