Between

Somewhere deep

in the realm of betweens

you kissed me

between the summer and autumn of life

between the once dark sky

and a sparkling firmament

between lukewarm smiles

and sizzling passion

T=was there

you magically turned dandelions

into fragrant smelling roses - -

my heart no longer eluded capture

and an urgency to remain

in this realm of betweens

bugalooed down the Broadway

of my soul

Hello Lydia,
Thought I would come over and say Hi! I can identify with this lovely appreciative hearted rendition to memories of appreciation in our lives time. So much has passed and so much to still learn and experience. Love is something which does take tending, watering, feeding to enjoy.................blessings in your life and writing. Kathy

Lukewarm smiles and sizzling passion, hurts like the dickens when they are no longer there. Valentine

I'm sure this is a difficult time of year for you. I appreciate the fact you read my words.

As is often the case for those fortunate enough to experience it, those deep emotive feelings which are lavishly imbued when we find ourselves betwixt & between, a uniquely personal and special place, our very own twilight zone if you like, do leave a long and lasting imprint on the subconscious and one we can return too and reflect on in those surreal moments and once again savour that pleasant calm and understanding!

A superbly penned, reflective reverie that takes the reader to a higher plane !
