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

Your poem is beautiful. You have crafted many rendezvous points for the love among those moments.. It is a pleasure to read those beautifully crafted words.
Your poetry itself is shining with pride among all those betweens.
Thanks for this beautiful poetry. Keep sharing..

Wherever you are, whatever you do, you make sure that you both find the place "between" where you can surely meet. Such power of love!
That's beautiful!

'Between' what a lovely place to be, life seems to be richer there. I find this enchanting/alluring, as are a number of your pieces. I often read without dropping a review, but wished to extend this one. R xo

The picture suits your words very much.

between the summer and autumn of life

and a sparkling firmament

Beautiful lines.

We do tend to live life more fully between the lines, don't we?
