~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

Same to you girl!.... and yes, I know, thank you :)

[David Scott]

I like this idea of beating time with love...
Time is a powerful component of relativity and as such there is little we can do to impact our affect on time. Yet you have supplied the most sure way to effortlessly manipulate the strangle hold of time on the human condition.
Lovely writing and a refreshing playfulness is found in the sing-song quality of your seemingly fluid rhym scheme.

[AprilRN1210]

haha, I was just reviewing your new piece.. funny how that works.. Thank you so much David for this lovely review... I am tickled you enjoyed this one.. I really enjoyed writing it.. I wanted to try and add a playful tone to something I feel deeply about.. was unsure how the contrast would come across..

[David Scott]

I think you nailed it!
It is difficult to write metered and rhymed and still keep the poetry dramatic and powerful.
Great work here indeed.

[AprilRN1210]

now I am the one (blushing)... thank you.. you have just made my night.. :)

[icelandicblue]

really enjoyed this. The Oscar Wilde quote set the tone for the piece...it was a perfect choice as was your picture. You words presented in pink were enticing. I see you have a clock in this piece, rewinding does seem a very appropriate endeavor. The ending was like taking and releasing a breath of cool fresh air:

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.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you so much for this lovely, insightful review.. and yes... made me giggle, the odds you found this one with me speaking about that clock.. so funny!... I am glad you enjoyed.. I admit, it is one of my favorites.. I look forward to reading more of yours.. hope you have a wonderful weekend:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This would be wonderful being read aloud on a stage… your wording is sharp and poignant and it has such a smooth feel when reading it.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you so much Dale... I admit, this is one of my favorites.. I am tickled you enjoyed it.. nice to see you my sweet friend, as always.. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well you should be proud, it is an excellent piece of art.

[AprilRN1210]

making me blush... thank you again... so dang sweet! ((hugs)) to ya Dale..

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

What I wouldn't give to see you blushing. Especially when I did :)

[AprilRN1210]

haha, well dang it, you did it this mornin'! hope you have a wonderful day as well, thank you for the pic btw... :)

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

First I like the Oscar Wilde quote. The picture of the winged woman has the realism of a photograph snapped. her expression is one of rapture surprised in the moment, Delightful. The first two lines of the first stanza set a tone of inner strength that carries throughout. The power of a stable mind is able to hold all the moments of love like a rose, while respecting and avoiding the associated thorns. Furthermore I like the multiple periods.... like a receding wave revealing the abundant life in the tide-pools between the words.Together all these assembled elemental threads weave a comfortable nest for readers to return to when they are weary.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you for this thoughtful review. I appreciate it and am tickled you liked this one..

[Beccy]

Sometimes so difficult to break free. We have all been there at one time or another and your poem so perfectly describes those feelings.

Really enjoyed. Beccy.

[AprilRN1210]

it sure is.... thank you so much.. I am glad you enjoyed.. :)

[Roger Turgeon]

OK.... I was all set for one of your erotic masterpieces and then you provide this sweet vision of love. I agree the rhyme scheme was very captivating and helped build a bit of romantic frenzy. I will be less shy about coming more often. ( : O )

[AprilRN1210]

awwww, while I do enjoy writing my "erotic" pieces, I do write about a lot of different things and emotions.. no need to be shy.. I don't bite... hard... lol thank you.. I am glad you enjoyed.. :)

[BennyBooth]

I had to read the whole thing multiple times because I liked it so much! So enjoyable. I really like your writing .... :)

[AprilRN1210]

Hello again!! I am so tickled you enjoyed.. I admit, this is one of my new favorites I have done recently... thank you... I appreciate your time and thoughts... :)

[willweb]

This was beautiful and something I caught as I read the last stanza, this poem rhymed. I know, nothing strange about a poem rhyming, but to read it and become so enchanted by the words and the thoughts that I didn't even notice, that just show hows wonderful this piece truly is. I loved this poem today.

[AprilRN1210]

oh wow... that is a wonderful compliment, thank you.. I am tickled I could enchant you with my words.. I appreciate your time and thoughts:)

[B.J]

Nice work I reaaly enjoyed the last stanza. A special line in the second stanza linking the whole work together. Well done>

[AprilRN1210]

well, hey! nice to meet you, and thank you so much! I am glad you liked this piece..I appreciate your time and thoughts... I would like to return the favor, any piece in particular you would like me to check out?

[B.J]

You're most welcome. Anything you choose is okay with me

[AprilRN1210]
