~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.

// 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

i like how this poem can go either way...either liberated, set free of those constat reminders...or set free to fly in spirit and mind to our love miles away.
breathtaking imagery in this, April...you are such a talented poet...incredible.

[AprilRN1210]

I tried to leave it open several different ways like you do your writes, Jacob, so for you to compliment and notice, means a lot to me... Thank you so much.. wow.. you have me blushing and speechless at the moment.. jeez... It is good to see you. I am humbled by this awesome review and as always appreciate your time and thoughts.. :)

The indelible mark of adoration
Closing distance in handwritten lines
Flaws draw closer to willing embrace
Skipping beats yet keeping in tune

Timid echoes close in as high tides
Time forever stamped in ornate tin
Precious yet too delicate to hold tight
Winged departure out open window

Rules unwritten yet perfectly clear
Two steps back to make one forward
For yearning now bathed thick tar
Stilled in grin paralleling unforgotten past

Seeing the truth through blinded pride
In awe of chaos that falls into place
Always holding the key to your escape
Jailbreak of spirits fated to this devotion

[AprilRN1210]

wow... pretty insightful stuff there, David... thank you... another one, I hope you post.. beautiful.. thank you... It is so lovely... love the last stanza, all very powerful though... wheeew...

[Wynter Ignatius]

Will see - I don't want to see myself stealing all your thunder as my Pure Elegance seems to be attracting attention and I can't seem to get people to realize it is a reflection of your work.

[AprilRN1210]

not "stealing my thunder"... it is adding your caring, beautiful spirit in such an inspired way, that flatters me in the best way... anyone who can't see that doesn't matter anyway :)

[Wynter Ignatius]

Point taken my friend - will title and post later as it comes to me. :)

[AprilRN1210]

yay!! good... :)

[DJ]

Silky smooth and seamless,not to mention a wonderful poem.

[AprilRN1210]

silky smooth, I like the sound of that DJ, thank you.. I am glad you enjoyed :)

[ANM]

A lovely poem April the words speak for themselves all in perfect harmony!

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you so much! It is nice to see you, and I am glad you enjoyed sir:)

[ANM]

You are very welcome !!

April.. the quote, the picture, music… your pen
This is amazing…. beyond words.. pure poetry in my eyes….. I am so not technical, but still..
I am in love with this poem…. First stanza till last… falling deeper with every rhyme
The music… married, entwined, seeping subconsciously through your lines
As last stanza takes flight in a hearts declaration.. perfectly completing the poem
While the timing.. leaves the chorus exposed and naked in its wake

One of my favourites to date… simply stunning

[AprilRN1210]

you are always so kind and insightful Mark... Thank you... I am glad you enjoyed this one...

[Jack Wolfe]

So now you're stealing my Silence dots . . . .? I like the quote above, though a bit conflicted, considering I know your intentional meaning, do you know Mr. Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) was a gay icon? just a interesting factoid. As usual your style is eloquent and full of grace, taking flight, sounds like a hell of a ride.

[AprilRN1210]

pffffft, me stealing YOUR dots?.... oh my goodness.. as if!! I have been overusing them for the longest! see how much you pay attention grumpy!!.... why would that conflict you?... I don't judge someone based on sexual preference... I adored the quote, it fit.. why would YOUR brain wanna go there with it?.. such a meanie!! have you had coffee yet?... maybe you need some more... :P
I hope it is one hell of a ride!! I need it!! thank you Doc for this "conflicted" review... lol

[Jack Wolfe]

Hope it is one hell of a ride . . . I agree.

[AprilRN1210]

Hooorah!.... yes sir:)

[Nusquam Esse]

I absolutely adored your first stanza; as others have pointed out, this is without a doubt, one of your best works to date. While you still have that trademark alliteration in here, it is much more natural, and coupled with half-meter rhymes makes for a fascinating read. I will have to completely re-evaluate your style of writing now; since this has more depth from a technical standpoint than I am used to from you. I love each and every stanza here, and could feel myself getting lost in them; to linger on at the end... to scroll back up and read it all again. Good to see that you still have wings, might take some time to get them working, but I think it will be well worth the time--who wouldn't want to fly together with you? It is an excellent quote too, very much in line with how I feel... the few (those special few people) in our lives will fade and drift away with time; but I 'like' to think that the one who stands out even in those few is the one who is willing to take the time... not to wait, but rather to appreciate every moment... and that while the rest of the world would accuse them of wasting their time for nothing, surely there are others out there which would be easier and still feel good, they realize that it is their time, and that there is no other way they would rather spend it, no one else who could make them feel that way--a difference between patience and savouring the moment. You know what a sucker I am for these kinds of writes, and it made my day to wake up and read this... although it admittedly took a little time for me to figure out how to express it coherently--but I like to think a few hours was worth it... :P

[AprilRN1210]

oooooh, I get mr. technical sprinkled in there.... nice!! completely re-evaluate?... uh oh... not sure if I like the sound of that.. ha! I am so glad you enjoyed this one and such an awesome review... wow... don't know what to say... Thank you!!! and you call that coherent?...lol :P

[Nusquam Esse]

well... you should have seen me earlier... =_= shush you... this re-evaluation is a good thing.

[AprilRN1210]

haha!!! what-ever!!! I see you NOW:P
why is that a "good thing" exactly???

[Nusquam Esse]

Ahhh, so how incoherent I was earlier is somehow irrelevant? And here is was all your fault (or at least most of it)... as for how it is a good thing... ummm.... not telling.... :) You gotta figure this one out on your own; serves your right for always being so cryptic.

[AprilRN1210]

ME?????... ME cryptic???... oh my gawd!!! no freaking way!!!! not my fault you are bouncing from different levels of "incoherent-ness"...

[Nusquam Esse]

no no.... 'plain simple' you can be nice and cryptic, shy, and withdrawn... ;) Or do you really take me for that 'type' of fool? Cause a fool I may be, but no hiding from me girly... :P

[AprilRN1210]

ok... it's official.. YOU HAVE LOST IT!!!! nothing left to say there... yep...

[Nusquam Esse]

trying to silence me are you? Well then, I suggest you try harder... ;)

[Matching Socks]

April you can deny it all you want darling but you are letting that beautiful romantic, strong, female side of you fly, and I love it. You words carry, hope and strength and could it be a hint of love? Or like, at least?
Which can very easy lead to love. :)

[AprilRN1210]

Hey girl!!.... Ha, I never deny it... just keep it on the DL... You have warmed my heart with this review ma'am.. thank you... hope and strength is what I was going for... ((hugs))

[Christopher Robin]

Well well April, you're just about getting ready to throw down aren't you? Seeing how rapidly your rhyming and cadence prowess has grown in such a short amount of time is startling to say the least. Honestly I'm no longer sure who would come out on top if it came to a battle...
That's beside the point, the poem is magnificent, it screams of tortured motivation but you have taken that which would create a jail and instead formed a key to a very talented freedom. I feel the blood in your words, and I see greatness in that blood. Seeing you push yourself further and further down this rabbit-hole-ridden realm of rhyme is ridiculously remarkable.
Continue to soar April, you are lighting the way.

- Robin

[AprilRN1210]

well, well, hey you!!! not ready just yet sir!! One of these days, I will give you a run for your money, thought--make no mistake about it!! wahooo... just trying to find my voice and footing at the moment... still looooong way to go... but hey, I love a challenge!! I am so glad you liked this one... As I stated in response to earlier review... when my world has been turned upside down, it quickly turns to sink or swim, but d****t, I am stubborn and want to fly!! rabbit-hole-ridden realm of rhyme--had to make me giggle, just can't help yourself can you... oh jeez, you do crack me up, Robin... wheeew!.... Thank you so much for this glowing review! I love it... and you are one of the ones pushing me and am forever grateful for that... ((hugs)) to you sir...secretly can't wait for this "showdown".... :D

[AprilRN1210]

*though* not thought... grrrr.. guess, I should've had some coffee first...

[Coyote Poetry]

Good quote and amazing poetry.
"love liberated, deliberately set free
flying high in the sky taking you with me."
A perfect ending to a perfect poem.
Coyote

[AprilRN1210]
