Something Beautiful

Memories of love gone by…

I have loved you for a long time
Since your words first caught my eye.
Yet the feeling has grown strong and
I often wonder why.

We had so much fun together
The first time you came to me,
And it seems could last forever.
You are the focus of my dreams.

I think about you every day now.
Your touch is magic and so sublime.
I hope one day that I will know how
To keep you safe within my arms.

And so I face another day love
Your sweet memory I hold on to
Were you sent from up above, love?
Something beautiful for me.

You are beautiful to me…

It eventually becomes painful but it means you have used one of the great human advantages to its fullest... no other animal is capable of articulating deep emotional love over long periods of time. Burial of the dead is one of the defining characteristics of the human species. Burial of emotion can be a deeper version of that. Remembrance of what is truly precious might be truly unique to humans... I just wish my cat could talk, so I could really be sure.

If only our fur babies could talk! I just love this review and the build up to the end. Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts.

It's my pleasure. Hopefully one day soon someone invents an animal thought translator.

a love no more, but you portray the memories so vividly; and it seems to occupy a part of your everyday life....it's very sad to lose your lover, yet the those precious moments still exist in your mind and they pop up now and then.... nice write Dara...
Warmly, B

Yes, the memories will last a lifetime. A bittersweet daydream on a rainy, winter’s day. As the saying goes we often don’t get what we want but what we need. I hope your New Year started out grand. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Of course, you're very welcome Dara

You, dear lady friend, have given what is called 'your all' to those words. They are what discovery is - a slow, gentle adventure into another place with someone who feels your thoughts and exchanges the same.

Absolutely beautiful, Dara.

This poem has got to be one of the most beautiful, romantic and powerful ones I've ever read. How you're able to create such luscious imagery, that leaves a lasting impression is beyond me. You have the talent. And I understand now why you went by the name Passion Flower. Lovely poem. Please keep writing.

[Dara]

Oh my! Thank you so much for honoring me with your wonderful feedback. I am both humbled and grateful. So happy that you read it with the way it was intended to be. Once again I am most pleased to have your presence.

Yow!
This just oozes with the construct of love, something we don't even realize we are building with another...it just happens.
