Shadows of Discreet

 

 

As candlelight drips down the shadows of discreet

the lavender scent of love weaves a purple web;

And the tides of the fickled moon begin to ebb

until the silhouettes of the night slowly retreat...

 

And as she removes her rosey-colored glasses

the signature of love is cast upon the shore;

And the jealous hand of fate slaps her as before

and teardrops are the color of blue hair grasses...

 

As she peers within the darkness of her window

the crimson tulips dance in the moonlit showers

She bathes within the waterfalls of moon flowers;

and still hears his voice in whispers of the willow...

Even with the passage of time the memory of some things do not bruise.... well... that is if they are well protected..... with lavender, which also induces sleep. This poem is and echoes others that are. Some fruits are greater for picking off the tree and consuming there and then and others for preserving in alcohol or syrup.

Thank you kindly for taking time to read and responding...I appreciate your nice comments...SyberRose

Sorry about my ramble.... it was a stroll down a leafy lane... called memory.

[Richard Man]

Memory lane has brambles to scratch and nettles to sting.... but one gives fruit and the other makes fabulous soup.

[SyberRose]

I love your imagery; as I re-read the poem, images change before my eyes... Lovely!

I have been on vacation for ten days. Wonderful to get away, but great to be home...
I put a story on Fan Story, but doesn't receive a lot of exposure, so will put more on here. Enjoy exchanging thoughts with you and other writers.

A beautiful lament of a bittersweet memory...you had me reminiscing in the first poignant stanza and then aching, pining to hear her voice whispering in the willows with a sigh...
