the fields where you once kissed me

remembering a perfect kiss, a perfect love. what does any of it really mean?

 

I saunter through the fields where you once kissed me

 

Would you kiss me now?

 

Urgently without holding back a single desire

 

Like the days when we kissed with wanton care

 

If only you could kiss me now

 

The wind hit my face

 

My hair blew wild

 

The biting wind made my cheeks red and my ears sting

 

My lips stayed warm remembering

 

Could you kiss me now?

 

Be like the wind

 

Overtake me  

 

Connect so closely to my face

 

Feeling it within

 

From the fervor of your breath

 

Is it all nostalgia?

 

Or will we walk here together again

 

Are the trees waiting to bloom for us?

 

The flowers wait for no one

 

All the same the benches are companionless

 

As I saunter through the fields where you once kissed me

memories i know i wander though too
of things that are no more
my nanay is mire memory now
and of pictures of what she once was
i know you thinking of a love
that once was and it causes me to think

Danielle, I think you are questioning your own self in this poem as well as the person you present the questions to, I say that because I believe it sounds like a first love or infatuation and all of us have these nostalgic thoughts at one time or another, we seem to know that we will never have the true answers and so we question our own minds. I feel a longing as well in your words, very nice.

i like this one, the way you explain how the person kissed you in a special place and its justs beautiful.

Sometimes we yearn for something special we once had.......and here I feel the joy and pain, the questions and the sadness it has passed............such beautiful imagary of that field, compounded by powerful
thoughts.

I love the sense of loneliness but how there's also a sense of contentment. Maybe that's just me but it also has a sadness to it but the kinda of sadness were you get a small smile on your face...I dunno, that sounds totally confusing but I loved it anyways.

This makes me feel melancholy ... i like it very much...Love the question asked again and again..
It makes a person think and feel, great writing when it can evoke emotion..
A little sensual and very romantic and nostalgic.

winter sucks... i like the questions, and i definatly like the descriptions of the cold and the persons features on their faces and the problems witht he temperature. I like the different word choice of the wind. I might oh missed this but who is the the person you want to kiss you? Are they brother, sister, mother, father, or a lover?
