A Picture of Love

Loosely linked stylistically, with my "A Picture Of Beauty"; and "The Portrait" poems (on this site).

I remember the bliss,

Of your first kiss,

That warm tongue,

And tender lips

 

That refined shape,

And of late,

Your face reminds me,

Of a portrait

 

Which I held,

In my hands,

When you travelled,

To distant lands

 

Away from me,

But your thoughts were near,

And my intentions were crystal clear

 

A rose for you,

I longed to spare,

To rest gently,

In your black hair

 

I think you know,

What could follow,

Timeless love,

Or endless sorrow.

[Surrealstorm]

I think this is very beautiful. it's melodic as some of the other reviewers stated. It flows so sweetly and then you end it by saying that it could end with
"timeless love
or endless sorrow"
causing it to be almost bittersweet because the reader realizes that it could end in sorrow...excellent write as always!

Thanks, ms. Surreal..!

[Fia Naturie]

Aww, this is sweet. No one really knows when it will end but the journey is beautiful.

[Twilight]

Yes indeed, Fia.

[EmpressPoetess]

Very good poem, smooth flow and sensual images.

[Twilight]

Thankyou kindly, EmpressPoetess.

[Greg Close]

Beautiful and heartfelt, with a kind of ambiguous ending. Just like love. Just like life.

[Twilight]

It sure is, Greg..!

I felt a sweet melody in the poem. The emotion was no overdone, but simply stated, but stated beautifully. I loved the ending two stanza's the most. I enjoyed reading this!

[Twilight]

Good to know! Thanks.

[Sasavet]

This ended so perfectly. It's all in her hands to end it beautifully or tragically, and you're trusting her enough to let her decide. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)

[Twilight]

Thanks for the praise.

[Lauren Marie]

No worries, first of all.

I liked this, especially the last stanza.

A beautiful poem!

[Ama May Cooper]

So sweet.
Like the crying of a heart on a sunset morning to its sleeping lover. Sends shivers down my spine of pure passion. So simply wrote but so filled with pure and clean energy that you can almost feel hiddden compllications . I loved it
