Memory of Love's Perfection

My silken lips part in memory of perfection that I have seen
On nights when silence casts fire into my heart
This is when passion within a fading torch  
Burns bright as I set it free
To roam in spaces so very different
Than I remember

There lifted up from all I do, while I am looking back in time
Is everything I put in the shadows close behind
And I can hear the perfection shared
Softly beckoning to my soul like no other
From within the ages of a love
Once at rest

My lips once sung of everything we were, yes, they told all
Of the nights I sought out your warmth in silence
When we were like trees that swayed
In winds that did not love our lack of weakness
Or how we refused to admit
We were mortals

A fading torch I think not, the world was merely changing
The reflection of our passion still remained
My silken lips now part in memory of love’s perfection
As I see our hearts turn inward
To roam in spaces so very different
And yet the same

Typical Neva, this poem! A touch of magic, a dash of longing and the use of exactly the right word at the right time. I see your love of refrains shine through in this, as you tweak them to mean different things in different lines. Beautiful poetry, once again.

Oh, Neva your words are beautiful and they allow me into your world to see what you once had and the love that once was and sometimes in your memories still is! Once again you never fail to make me feel with your words! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing friend!

This is a very distracting piece . . . it conjures up memories and makes it difficult to finish reading. Fabulous!

[CalebSchadeck]

very vivid descriptions painted a clear picture in my head of the story behind this poem vary good!!

[iamkim]

Wow! This is one of a kind! I love the words you used, and so the way you played with them. The message is so clear and neat. I really love it!

I always find it hard to write poems of no rhyme. Yeah, I'm poor at it. So I always envy those people who can. I envy you! :)

PS: this is going to be in my favorites :)

[Hayley]

"And I can hear the perfection shared
Softly beckoning to my soul like no other
From within the ages of a love
Once at rest" - *sigh* what a jewel...
