That Wonderful Produce Stand
I was at the Sensation Mango's, when I first saw you
You were looking at the lush green–leafy sprouts, with your head tilted down,
and from the side, your beautiful face I watched, as I could not help myself
Oh, a face as smooth and soft as that mango could ever be
Your skin the color of a beautiful Taylor's Gold pear
And then so elegantly you walked along with your straw basket, swinging in hand
For I remember to this day that light cotton dress, with all those beautiful colors
The dress that looked like a bonny day of spring
Your steps were just so perfect, as you slowly sashayed by
Looking as fresh as Golden Delicious, to an apple I compared
Slowly you turned as you caught my eye's with yours, as they finally met
Wanting to turn away my eyes misbehaved and stayed, staring at yours
Dark and beautiful as Rutab Dates as I could see, juice's and sweetness so deep
Oh beautiful eyes from heaven, if only they were for me, I dream t
Eyes such as these, so dark and mysterious, "Could I ever share?"
Without hesitation a part of me took over, I could not control,
Straight over a bushel of Yellow Casaba melons I skipped,
as if I were floating on air
My eyes and yours held steady, as I tried to think of something to say
While in your hands, you held two delicious Smooth Cayenne pineapples, I tried not to stare
That is the exact moment when you stole my heart, for I watched as your lips began to move
Looking as fresh as the L'Amour strawberries picked in the early morning dew
With beautiful teeth, as white as the inside of a Nui Kafa, Polynesia coconut
My eyes were now locked onto your sweet, red, strawberry lips
Your eyes and mine now moved as one, looking into mine with a look as if you so cared
And for hours we talked about all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables there
What we liked and how to cook and prepare them , oh what a time we had
Not a care in the world we seem to have, before we knew, the sun was setting
And suddenly we were at a loss for words,
So not wanting you to leave and never see you again, that is when I asked you,
I asked if.... ah...ah Oh my, “Honey, what exactly did I say to you, at that wonderful produce stand?”
“Which time dear? We only went there every week, for fifty six years.”
“ Well, the first time is what I can never seem to remember.”
“Probably because you did not say a word, as I waited and waited and talked all night”
“Until finally I asked YOU, to Marry Me, and that is when you said, OK”
“Yep, that is the way it happened all right, and do you know what I am thinking right now?”
“What Dear?”
“I am thinking you are more beautiful than that first time I saw you. You in that light cotton dress with all them wonderful colors.”
“ Oh Dear, you still know how to win my heart.”
“Well Honey, that is easy, when you love someone”
“Oh Dear, I love you too!”

wonderful
this is what I somehow come into
each time I go
I do cherish all there is
the bushels upon bushels
of vegetable or fruit
which is what
most times I do not even care
I feel free with this
carefully written poem
so free
it seems to be
Well done / a smile
comes naturally with it.
Thank you!
p/s it was a time I shared with
dear mama
and with my own children too
to steal a grape to taste
to squeeze a melon
to ask a question
or to listen to another ask
I love all of it! A bounty
to be shared indeed
A farmers or cooks dream to be sure
Peace! |
