~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

April, this may be the best piece of yours that i have read. Of course that is only the opinon of an ametuer, but it the only opinion that i have to give. Your style is on that is true to you alone, and with every piece becoming more refined. I enjoyed the line that this piece rode, the line that sulks between over the top sexy and just enough. love this one

[AprilRN1210]

My best, charlie brown?... wow... Thank you... Your opinion carries a lot of weight... you know that!!!

[Cory Barrett]

I feel that none of this felt forced. For me rhyme scheme often can result in a "because i had to" reasoning for word selection. This one seemed to flow, and flow well

[AprilRN1210]

I know what you mean, trust me.. that is a huge compliment, and I thank you again sir... I am so glad you liked this one...

[Mayank]

clever clever verses, beautiful imagery with the lovely message that everyone can relate it.

[AprilRN1210]

Why thank you so much, I am glad you could relate.. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

This is a well balanced verse, with wonderful images and a lovely message. Time to redesign life and love ...

[AprilRN1210]

It is sure time...When world has been tossed upside down it is sink or swim... I choose neither... I wanna fly:)
Thank you girl...

[Frieda P]

Simply stunning April, but your poetry is always enticing, so that goes without saying. An enchanting flight, took me several places of liberation. Finding a place of tenderness that gives us wings, I wanted to fly away in your poetry! Your signature style is unique, and I'd know this was yours on any given day. Seducing sighs, take me with! :)

[AprilRN1210]

Ha girl!! You are always welcome to fly away with me!! You are so sweet, ma'am... I am trying... I have a signature style?.. wahooo! Thank you so much, I don't know what to say... I am surely smiling right now:)

[Frieda P]

Indubitably, no doubt, I could read you blindfolded and know it was you. ;) A smile says it all, and well deserved! :) xo

[AprilRN1210]

could you now?.... jeez.. might have to work on that.. don't wanna get predictable... and the smile radiates all the way to the soul, the best kind!! you always lift me with your awesome spirit... ((hugs)) ---yep.. big squishy ones please!!

[Frieda P]

Nothing to work on, it's like Monet, always different but you know without a doubt who painted it....squishy hugs comin' right up! xo

[AprilRN1210]

one of my favorite compliments.. and my squishy hugs too, wahoo... I am flying now for sure.. thank you again ma'am..

[A. Amos]

You started with Oscar Wilde quote, and your a great writer as your worked followed right after OW...it truly was amazing!

[AprilRN1210]

oh wow A!! I am speechless... wheeew, don't know what to say... Thank you so much!!!

[A. Amos]

You're most welcome my friend

[R Smith]

This is incredible April and this line from the first stanza: embracing the spaces….. while miles apart, it is one of my favourite lines ever, love the double rhymes too, they are always exciting to me, redesigning those wings is amazing and the end just beautiful, one of your best ever and so inspiring, thank you for this elegant poem.

[AprilRN1210]

oh Richie! thank you so much! This is an awesome review... You are so sweet, and wow... I am so glad you enjoyed this one... :)

[R Smith]

always welcome young nursie angel, did my wings clip quip inspire any....guess that would be to much to hope

[AprilRN1210]

I thought you had already read it honestly when you sent me that message... ha! not this time, but always next time Richie... :)

[R Smith]

nope not before message, pure coincidence but hey! great minds and all that :)

[AprilRN1210]

pretty dang funny one, for sure!! couldn't have timed it better myself.. that's what "they" say... and you do have a "great" one:)

[R Smith]

likewise young maiden and my minds not bad either :)

[Rene Salinas]

That old saying if you love something set it free. Personally all them cliches make me vomit excuse my deliverance but it is the lack of commitment and the lack of meaning which bothers me not the sequence of words. Amazingly then I find mself using that as a comparision to your writing. If we don't deal with what comes to us it haunts simple as. If you do that too often life becomes a hunting and it stops us from from moving forward. You are sharing here that you are a brave soldier and that you want to continue to be able to see the beauty of life.

Let that thought then resound loudly through the echos of space


Thankyou

[AprilRN1210]

thank you Rene :) you are so insightful sometimes it is scary... love hearing your thoughts... I hope my piece doesn't make you want to vomit.. lol

[Rene Salinas]

Ha! on he contrary quite delectable!

[AprilRN1210]

ok, good! wheew!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A lovely grace of a poem but I felt a darkness within? Perhaps it was the picture which was rather dark and menacing.

[AprilRN1210]

dark and menacing?... really?... hmmmm.... not what I was going for... oh well... thank you for thoughts as always, John-it is nice to see you...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

The picture is of a dark angel menacingly offering the thorned rose?

[AprilRN1210]

perception my friend... :)

I could argue she is sitting amongst the thorns recognizing the beauty that they behold regardless of "flaws".. and who says she is "offering"... she gently has her hand on it.. it isn't lifted as if offering... :P

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha you would not see me trust that one princess April.

[AprilRN1210]

Be that as it may, I know my thoughts behind this piece and it is more along the lines of my "perception" of artwork than yours sir:)
But, I love hearing your thoughts always!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh I love it when you call me 'sir'!

[AprilRN1210]

..........:P.......

[00000000000000000000000..]
