a forever part

artwork by barbara haviland

in a moment of intense clarity
          clouds
inseminated with joy
                   smile
knowing secrets
only the wet grass of a summer morning
can share
intriguing you say?

as the sun swallows what is left of the night

i realize the sheet music
is gloriously engraved in my psyche
oh, but i will never sing the lyrics
because the point, mon amour, is
there really is no point at all
we shall always share the clarity
the sweet knowledge
of that day
the day passion took control
and you became
a forever part of my life

"A forever part of my life..." We take on every
parcel of another person's life. We become best
friends. The reward is worth the effort...
from beginning to present...
" as the sun swallows what is left of the night",
We will taste the fruit of each new day.
truly, Pat

Insanely romantic. I love this one Lydi!
Knowing secrets only the wet grass of summer can share. That is super!

[Lydia Shutter]

Romance must always be a bit insane if it is done right! :) Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Papaya]

Yes, I cannot argue with that. :)

Very intriguing & thought-provoking, along with recognizable sensory & sensual delights you often offer your readers. Good word-crafting: "inseminated with joy . . . smile" . . . I'm getting a clear vision of how two people are attracted in a variety of ways, until finally "the day passion took control" . . . and then I love the final two lines as a perfect ending for this powerful building of feelings.

It is amazing how things or people and even moments become forever part of our lives and memories. Memories become sacred space in our psyche and it moves us, changes us and enlightens us on the way or journey. You have clarified our vision in this wonderful and touching poem...:)...................
