~Liberating Wings Of Love~

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

Oscar Wilde

 

 

Retracing the places you drew in my heart

embracing the spaces….. while miles apart

mind chases replacement…. erasing the pain

yet glacial traces… of… recognition remain. 

 

 

Residual reminders find their way into musing

rewinding the clock gets rather confusing

ticking of time assigns………. it’s time to try

redesigning these…. pretty wings… to fly. 

 

 

Yearning, learning….. the game… in order to play

fighting despite obstacles in the way

trials and tribulations linger….. a while

stylishly stamping…… revamping a smile. 

 

 

Lies no longer disguised behind these eyes

seducing sighs…… shuffling surprise

love liberated, deliberately set free

flying high in the sky taking you with me.

Your last stanza is out of this world, April! Sometimes we want to rewind time but we can't, we have to live in the now and accept it, mistakes and all. I agree with everything Ashira has said, we do have to remodel our wings to keep us flying high. I have missed you and reading this!

Gorgeous! xoxo

Hey Noodle girl!!.. I have missed YOU too!... I admit, this is one of my favorites and am tickled that you enjoyed.. Yes, ma'am!.. exactly... acceptance isn't always easy, but we do what we can with what we have.. we just have to realize that we are stronger and more resilient than we give ourselves credit for!.. life is what we make it.. learning to fly myself.. but it is possible:)
((hugs)) my sassy sweet friend

This is an absolutely fun read! Great flow and musicality and I especially like the clever play with assonance and rhymes in between the lines of each stanza (as well as at the end). Well done!

Well articulated thought. I so much appreciate the alternate rhyme. The last two line really capture the sense of love. "Love liberated, deliberatly set free
Flying high in the sky taking you with me."
Well done.

Wonderful April! We often sit and wonder what if and have the notion that is too short. We fear a lot and fail to succeed based on our fears....especially when it comes down to love. Love is a game played again and again in life and we just seem to keep going back....no matter the failings, the hurt, the trials and tribulations there is something about love that we return for. Wounds heal but the scars remain and as I often say "a lesson learned is a lesson earned"
You have a warm heart April and and this piece alone shows your emotion and heartache. Well done girl!

I really enjoyed it. Thought it was beautiful writing. Oh, the love in those eyes - you are a great writer. Sounds like he really let you down. Of course, it's mine to feel now, and I do. Love is such a tricky thing. I just love it. Just re-read it. You are a great writer. Thank you.

[AprilRN1210]

Haven't thought of myself as a "girl" in many years, but guess we will always be in our hearts. It is quite lovely.
