A collaboration

[Introduction] A collaboration between myself and Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen
Mark C Bradley    An empty porch swing where we used to sit
rocks patiently in the winter wind,
the paint chipped and faded
like memories shared on its seat.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
Though the swing remains vacant,
I remember our story
as I watch the scenes replay
within each falling snowflake.


Mark C Bradley    When we first sat there
our legs barely touched the ground
and we'd swing until we grew dizzy
as time floated by with every swing.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
The sunlight captured each movement;
it was then that I noticed hints of green
resting in your eyes.
Within your gaze, I felt at home.





Mark C Bradley    
And warmth poured into me,
wiping out the wintry chills
of loneliness that occupy the house
after years of a vacant heart.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
In the simple times,
I felt the happiest;
we strolled along the seashore's sand
as you tenderly took hold of my hand.

Mark C Bradley    The ebbing tides caressed our feet
but didn't damped our spirit
as we stopped for an embrace
under the summer sun.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
Underneath the golden rays,
you leaned in to whisper
those long awaited words;
my heartbeat took a curve.


Mark C Bradley    
Time froze and drowned out all sound
as I awaited your reply,
even though I could read it
on your smile and in your eyes.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
Unspoken words were no longer secrets;
each sentence was written upon my face.
You knew how I'd answer your questions
when I painted kisses across your lips.





Mark C Bradley    The kisses held time for me,
yet the pendulum, like the swing, kept its motion
and years dwindled away since those moments
and now the questions return
as I reflect upon your departure
