Only to hold you once more

~

 

Stood at the crossroads of passion and truth,

placing my face to the wind

Calling in echoes, your fragrance the proof,

once again, now to begin

 

Knowing this feeling that takes me away,

somewhere this heart it does sing

Forecasted sunshine my eyes it will play,

love is a wonderful thing

 

Can’t help believing that you feel it too,

beneath the heavens so free

All that I am I shall be that for you,

forever romantically

 

Hoping you smile when thinking of this,

praying this message to send

So you will know with the touch of your kiss,

my heart starts beating again

 

Now here I wait as I stare to the skies,

filled with my thoughts ever pure

Wishing so softly in love filtered sighs,

only to hold you once more

For me, the mind of the poet travels time, still present yet - past.. There are words, there are times, when little or nothing erases emotions that wrap one's memories. Sadly, softly beautiful, sir.

Many thank yous Emma for your always nice words you leave for me to find. Like little petals of thoughts scattered about my page. I appreciate you.

Lovely romanticism. My interpretation from the first stanza- I got the sense that the author has had been travelling with earnest intense passion for his love, while at the same time searching for a truthful clarity, as the intensity of his passion may have blurred some of his directional sense. At the beginning it may have felt like your passion was far apart from the truth, but after you have made long strides in your journey, the truth has finally clarified itself and is validating your passion for your love, and two are set to converge. And now you are stood before these two converging crossroads, reassured that you can now walk this merged path with newfound solidarity. Mirth, longing and enthusiasm all vibe as you call out to your love, eager with hope to rekindle that long lost connection.
