Moment In Time~

Painting by Luana Silense/Deviant art

It was a precious moment to cherish

A moment when love did exist

But fate of love was meant to perish

As weaknesses’ could not resist~

 

It was a time of foolish dreams

And portrait of emptiness

The uncharacteristic schemes

A feeling of amorousness~

 

T'was a wish above all wishes

It was torturous to the heart

A bouquet not meant to flourish

It was as precious as fine art~

 

T'was a mysterious moment in time

But enchanting bells were not meant to chime.

A lovely capturing of a moment. PErhaps the lost moments are the most cherished. A question however, the second line of the second stanza. Is there a typo with the first word?

[SyberRose]

Should I change that to AND Portrait??..thank you Steve...Rose:)

[SteveB]

And or as?

Bouquets not meant to flower - bells not meant to chime - sad and unnatural, like love lost.
Love your work Rose - and I get to hear every one ;)

I like the form of this, Rose. A moment in time, but not the right moment... in matters of love, timing is everything. Beautiful poem.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Rita...nice to see you peeking in tonight...Have a good one:)

Moment in time … yes, had been there myself! Great poetical encapsulation of love’s lost opportunity. Love the flow and creative word play. Reminded me of a quotation from T.S. Elliot;

“Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.”

Bless!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Phill Oz O'fee...and for that quote of Elliot..I liked it...thanks for peeking in...Rose
