~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

So smooth how you take us away to a place where we can fly like many childhood dreams of old the dream of fling was a dream of mine. I wanted to face the world from above send down from heaven my overflowing love cuddled and kettles all in a row holding you tight and never letting you go. Much pleasure i got in reading your works for the the poet with knowledge to bring things to life. bless you April from this moment on. Guidance from God shall be sent your way. Hope this comment finds you in good health and may you be blessed with a little bit of wealth.

[AprilRN1210]

-Sunya

[AprilRN1210]

oh wow!.. thank you so much.. you have just made my day!.. that hope is the only thing we have sometimes.. but hey, we are stronger than we think:)
((hugs)) my friend.. you can fly away with me!..

[Sunya]

Yes we are definitely stronger than that :) Thankyou for that :)

[AprilRN1210]

you're welcome, and thank you!..

[MomzillaNC]

I love that Oscar Wilde quote. I really like your poem, the way you've detailed the treasure of love and happy memories.

NOTES: I found myself deleting most of the forced pauses in your prose. The visual of all this periods looks good, but detracts from your words.

[AprilRN1210]

thank you for this thoughtful review... and will reevaluate the pauses... they are more to help with the flow and the beat with melody of music.. and just felt right to me... but respect your opinion, and shall seriously consider... I appreciate your time and thoughts and am glad you enjoyed..

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. But, remember, my comments are only ever suggestions. You're the poet and only you know the sounds of your words as you weave your lines for us.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Liberate away, liberate away.

[AprilRN1210]

workin on it :)

[Bright Ocean Star]

April, I love the smooth, breezy flow that dominates your poetry. You are a gifted writer, my friend. Love this one. I love the way you constructed the poem, and the song you paired with it. It is a pleasure reading your words, as always. I'm wishing you well, my friend...:)

[AprilRN1210]

Hey girl, thank you so much and I wish you the same... this is such an awesome review and am tickled you enjoy my writing... always a treat when you visit.. will be around to catch up on yours this week... work has been crazy.. can't wait... ((hugs)) to ya!

[MsJewel]

You know me and how much I love romantic poetry...and this my friend is lovely. You had me with the Oscar Wilde quote and drew me in even further with the soft tone of your words. The first verse is my favorite..those we love, though perhaps gone, still remain in a very special place in our heart. This my friend is a heartprint. Love it.

:) Julie

[AprilRN1210]

oooooh, I made heartprint status.. wahooo!.. I adore your romantic writes so much, that means a lot coming from you my friend.. thank you.. I admit, this is one of my favorites I have written recently.. feels good to let the softer side speak sometimes.. ((hugs)) to you ma'am :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Your words flow like honey here, April. Learning the game - and then ultimately flying free... what could be better? Enjoyed this!

[AprilRN1210]

what could be better indeed girl.. Thank you.. I admit, this is one of my favorites I have done recently.. like playing with my words and rhythm.. I am so tickled you enjoyed this one.. it is nice to see you, and I appreciate your time and opinion-it means a lot.. I highly respect your work:)
