Alpenglow Peak

I found this poem on an old site we used to post on, it's one of mine from when I first began writing in about 2004

Alpenglow Peak

Silent Stillness of reflected brilliance,
A Lovers' wish upon wet stone,
Arched and regal against darkened skies,
Misty mountains now meet alone.
One knows not the how or why
One must live when one must die
Or why lost love lives on.
To kiss farewell to embrace hello,
Where time needs not a thing,
Dark stark mounts must meet between,
Luscious life in gold and green.
Where Alpenglow streams cling
to fading dreams after ice moon
has claimed her home.
Soft and swollen blushing resilience
Where love now walks alone.
Forever to meet where Alpenglow peaks
Cast shadows upon the stone.

 

 

and another one from 2004:

 

 

Never Rain Again

 

Rain whispers upon the windows
Blowing in winds of change
Visions of you unbidden
Reflect on window panes
Warm upon the pillows
Secret smiles exchanged,
All disguise discarded
To drown within your eyes;
Lost upon sea blue linens
Enraptured sound of sighs,
An unwrapped gift of two
Embraced desires demand;
Will never see tomorrow and
can never rain again.

I will hand you my hand in congratulations because this work, especially Alpenglow Peak has all the hallmarks of excellence. You have a rare gift, young lady, and I don't want you minimizing it with attempts at modesty. You are what you are and that is an extremely talented young writer.

You are going to swell my head so large my ears will be scraping the sides of the doors :) sorry I have been away, eager to catch up soon , and thank you so much, not so young either but I'll take it and run with it ;) You are too kind to me :)

One word beautiful ... just beautiful... Awesome work dear poetess...

[Eve]

That's two words Sami, lol.., jk with you, thank you, I appreciate you, they were written when I thought rhyming was cool, lol. I still like rhyming, spoken word can be so powerful though sometimes, it was a joke at one time for us " we don't need no stinking rhymes" lol. ah those were the days of Wine and Roses.

No matches here. Never Rain Again caught my eye. It did a very good job of expressing that feeling that all is right in that moment. My only observation/question would be to ask what you meant for the last two lines to tell us? I feel like the poem could be just as fabulous without those lines. But maybe I am missing something. I AM old.

[Eve]

oh hush, you are not old at heart, lol, I wrote that 8 years ago when disillusioned about a relationship, I love the rain, and for me rain is like love that pours from Gods eyes, when the world is sad. I write personal feelings so it would only mean something to myself. :P It's funny because 8 years later I still write about rain, mountains, and love that I believed was suppose to be... but wasn't, funny how life's lessons repeat themselves over and over till you get it right, even after hiding away and thinking it impossible to get slapped around again, it finds you ...it always finds you
if you leave your guard down and open, it finds a way to teach what you didn't learn the first time. So there , your long winded answer, it's there because it has significance to me :)
