Time Stood Still

All the flowers bloom 

when you walk into a room 

Your smile holds my breath 

The earth quakes beneath my feet 

I am forever entwined.

Oh dear Pat, this little piece of brevity is a knock out. It says so much about the love you have for your dearest. You are still truly smitten after all these years. Entwined you are forever. Beautiful and heartwarming to read. May you have many, many days of happiness together.

dearest Chris... I discovered Roger in 1987 at a Country Western dance at Bronco Billy's when our Office had a Birthday Part in one secluded corner of the huge wooden dance floor. I asked Roger if he would like to dance, and he said, "Not unless they play "Because of you, God made Oklahoma. I returned to my corner and pondered my dilemma. I promptly asked the Band to play that Song. We have been Partners since that night. He supports my rhymes and wears the Coolest pair of Tecovas Cowboy Boots when he sings for his dinner. Thank you Chris for your endearing review. Beholding to you. Tenderly, Pat

I love this romantic account of how you two lovebirds met. You are truly blessed x

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Chris... many "tumbleweeds" have crossed our path; however, we seem to believe in destiny and the Joy of living on a Trail that was made for singing and dancing on Ships where Oceans meet and Love remains a Mystery. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Butterfly 🦋 landed on my shoulder.

[Robert Trakofler]

what a lovely expression of love dear Patricia I am a bit jealous of that feeling that you penned so nicely! I am I fear destined to only stir quakes on the paper once in a blue moon:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Bunny... looking back and realizing how poetry can "Seal" a pledge "to your own self be true. and it shall follow as the day the night, thou cannot be false to anyone. Was it Shakespeare who said that? Any way, that "quote" is better than being destined in any way. I have made some good decisions and some bad. My blessings are clear when
I realize how forgiveness can be so healing. Perhaps what we write on paper is the first step to make a pledge to let the stars fall as they will and gather them in your pocket for a rainy day. I do love
the expression--- "Once in a Blue Moon". truly, Pat

Ah..there is nothing a beautiful smile, and it is noticed immediately. This Brevity poem puts a real punch into a few lines and lets the reader know through vivid images how much love one can have. I love it, and I enjoy writing these myself. Excellent!!! Fondly, Betty

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Neville... your review left me with a melancholy mood as the day rolled by on sunbeam shadows. where little chickadees flew in unison like U.S. Navy
Blue Angels, but this time in black and white. truly, Pat

[Serene Star]

This is beautiful Patricia
I know too well how this feels like ?
You have that one person - that makes the entire world move into -
the background
People speak to you and you hear nothing
Loving someone is a gift !

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Serene.. people are the Orchestra that played the Nocturnal melodies under the Stars.. thank you for playing the Violin. truly, Pat

[Jimmy Yetts]

The poetess is thoroughly smitten; portraying that overwhelming attraction, elegantly.
Nicely done, Patricia!

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Jimmy... I couldn’t ask for a more realistic review. Roger and I were smitten at first glance when he asked me to dance many moons ago. Truly, Pat
