Within Forms of Silent Time

In the blossoming winds of life we are scattered
Within forms of silent time
On all those nights where love
Is more than flesh that holds our will
And the foundation we build
Is yours and mine

Defeat is a precarious lantern who’s light
Is bitterly bright and unfair
Yet nothing can spring from rivers
That I call mine that could ever
Make me forsake you
To go there

Discontent will never be mine to hold
As I know that you understand
These words I carve
From my heart
Because my spirit is at
Your command

You are the morning that quenches my thirst
My fragrance after the rain
Now how could I ever forget you
Or these sighs you have left
As here in my heart
They remain

[Clay Feet]

In daylight will I realign my mind
And refine the lift in these lines
That tonight I do not see
For sadness keeps me

'Tis beauty seen in silence
Built on philosophers stone
More than flesh and bone
But tonight my soul doth moan

Moonlight bright on still waters
Beams fond memory of yesternights
Long lost a thousand years is but a day
Swallowed light in nights decay

Strong-willed smithstress heart in hand
Sings song of love to other than
One lone heart longing
On bleak silent shore

Drink thee fragrant spirit of morn
Taste again sweet rain remembered
'Twill not soothe my spirit sore
Till tomorrow my heart restore
......................................

Your loving heart penetrates deeply.
Your transcendent thoughts
Wonderfully extend to your intended sphere.
Beautiful writing.

"You are the morning that quenches my thirst
My fragrance after the rain
Now how could I ever forget you
Or these sighs you have left
As here in my heart
They remain" beautiful phrasing in this write especially the end, powerful and melancholy, well done

[EMF]

A curiously sad poem, but a temporary sadness. Beautiful, as your work often is, but with a hint of darkness. Like really good chocolate.

In the blossoming winds of life we are scattered

These words I carve

[Layla J Omorose]

Once again another beautiful and excellently written poem. I simply loved it and it was so heartfelt that it pulled me in and almost made a tear come to my eye. Love is just more than the physical and can transcend time...love it.

[MIngram]

I like this very much Neva. Strong feelings of attachment and loss beautifully expressed.

This is very moving and refreshingly new. Your use of words for this poem is second to none. Excellent work Neva.
