~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 many obstacles to overcome in the game of love and we may lose ...but we need to find that spark again and reignite the burning flame of love...your poetry is quite lovely;

[AprilRN1210]

How insightful, Fran--thank you.. I couldn't agree more and that is part of what I was trying to convey... I am glad you understood and enjoyed ma'am... :)

[Fran Marie]

you're welcome, April;

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the quote from one of my favourites at the beginning :) I think you went on to channel him on many levels, not that I wouldn't have known it was you...I'm pretty familiar with your style now, and what a style it is...the opening line is amazing, and I knew right where you were going from there...retracing, time, distance, obstacles, but ultimately love at the end of it all...this is a stunning piece April, and all too painfully palpable, but what beauty in these words :) ((hugs))

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you Steve... how sweet! It is nice to see you and you have brought a smile to my face with this lovely review.. I am glad you enjoyed...

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure my friend, I did indeed enjoy it, and I'm glad that I could make you smile.

[AprilRN1210]

That you did.. thank you again.. ((hugs)) back to you!

Having the strength to find love again after so many heart breaks.
Or the strength to find first love...
both take the strength of a true heart.

Very well written as always April...and with a style that we have grown to love.

Hey stranger!!! It is so nice to see you! Thank you Ron, you are always so encouraging and sweet:)

[ron]

You are most welcome April.
It's nice to see you to.

[TL Boehm]

beautiful images and words in this 'glacial traces of recognition' I think that's my favorite.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you, secretly some of my favorite as well.. I am glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate your time and thoughts ma'am:)

[Woody]

you have such a unique way of writing poetry, April. it pulls at the heart strings. it truly is magnificent

[AprilRN1210]

You are too kind, Woody, thank you... I am humbled and so glad you enjoyed:)

[BL]

The first stanza portrays so well that feeling of love lost and the heart wrenching feeling of not being able to replace. Then the second talks of hope and a workaround, leading nicely into the third which to me is about the next stage, a fight for love. The fourth stanza is very positive, making a complete reversal.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you Blue for this lovely, insightful review.. I appreciate it sir:)

[Inda]

Fantastic! Such nostalgia and melancholy here, captured perfectly! There is always that residual thing you mentioned, it could be old memories or whatever, but there's always something that lingers and you have shown that here. Great piece!
Ps: Love the quote, Oscar Wilde is one of my all tine favorites!

[AprilRN1210]

Hey stranger!! Nice to see you! Fantastic?.. yay!! wahoooo.. glad you enjoyed this one sir.. Thank you:)

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

"love liberated, deliberately set free
flying high in the sky taking you with me."

These lines in particular. They are a different universe within themselves. You are indeed a strong person both in life and poetry. Good stuff!

[AprilRN1210]

different universe?.. wow.. pretty cool.. thank you so much for these kind thoughts and words.. I appreciate it:)
I am glad you enjoyed..

[Bill O. Writes]

Loved this. The positivity didn't come off as overbearing, in fact I felt it was more of an undertone. It allows the reader to really take this work in and truly appreciate it deep down.

[AprilRN1210]

thank you so much sir! I was trying to keep it toned down to be able to take it several ways, I am glad it came across ok and that you enjoyed:)

[Avinash]

A deep yearning for true love, may be reminiscence or just a dream but whatever it is; its strong and powerful feeling straight out of a beautiful soul. Universe should not be far behind in its evil design to fulfill such wishes :) Thanks for inviting.

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you sir.. was more of hope and strength, but surely love will find its way eventually:)
