~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

You have some of the coolest endings!!! I probably say that in all my critiques of your work. Must be true. The Oscar Wilde set it off great, face of d.gray is one of my favs

“Love is what moves the world, I've always thought. It is the only thing which allows men and women to stand in a world where gravity always seems to want to pull them down, bring them low, and make them crawl.” I don't recall who said that, but I was instantly reminded of the quote.

Love can destroy us sometimes, but without it, we're broken.
It's the light in our little, dark world - and It's always worth fighting for.

A wonderful poem, April.

[AprilRN1210]

Another fantastic piece. They just keep getting better and better. That quote from Oscar Wilde sets the mood for the awesome array of words that follow. The flow is perfect. The lines :

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.

remind me of this quote - "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Confucius ". Yes, we face obstacles while time ticks our lives away, we fail several times but we must keep going. We must believe that one day this stubbornness/persistence will indeed give us what we want.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you so much for this lovely, thoughtful, insightful review.. and yes, know and love that quote... I am glad you enjoyed this one, and appreciate your time and thoughts.. one day...*sigh*

[TheLostMind]

Yep.. one day :). We all must wait for that - "one day". :P

[AprilRN1210]

grrrrr, don't I know it, doesn't mean I have to like it... :P

[TheLostMind]

You will have no choice but to like it. "P

[AprilRN1210]

there is always a choice! :D

[TheLostMind]

Lol. Your argument reminds me of Morpheus in - The Matrix. "You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.". :P

[AprilRN1210]

haha!! love it!! true... what a dang choice... :P

[Destined for Boring]

Love can transport you to magical places but also rip you apart limb by limb.

[AprilRN1210]

Yes sir!!! It felt good to write this one, I admit--it is one of my favorites:) as always thank you.. you are always so kind and encouraging and I appreciate it!

[Steve L.]

My pleasure

I found myself in a discussion yesterday about this very topic. I don't often get the chance to wax philosophical but I did yesterday and to read this today just blows my mind. Time, relativity, love, liberation. All things so fundamentally related to each other. What a wonderfully pleasing read April. Phenomenal

[AprilRN1210]

Hey you!!! nice to see you, we've been missing each other last few days.. lol
they are all related, yep... I am glad you enjoyed this one... Thank you:)

[realmwriter]

You're always welcome.

[Lydia Shutter]

What a wonderful Wilde quote inspired this poem! Love makes us move mountains and climb them...but in the end it is always worth it. Yes, love is liberating...no doubt about it. Time....so precious and as Einstein taught us, so relative. I enjoyed your poem, April. Lydi***

[AprilRN1210]

what an awesome review! even threw Einstein in there, made me giggle--yes sooo relative!
Thank you so much ma'am.. I am glad you enjoyed this one, I admit-it is one of my new favorites.. liberating for sure:)
