A logical tale

A logical tale

A Poem by willweb

~

I dreamt of a story, a logical tale,
that's not for the weak or the weary, the frail
With summertime wishes now scattered the ground
and nary a promise that's made, can be found
To see every petal now gone from the stem,
where weeds have recaptured the gardens again
When feeling this good is a reason to cry,
like knowing the answer, but still asking why

I find all alone in the saddest of ways,
that the look that I knew in those tangerine days
Is still just as lovely as once long ago,
when a wink offered yes, with no mention of no
Where the mornings all glistened neath April/May skies
and whispers were lingering soft in the sighs 
As heartbeats all fashioned a comforting space,
so memories made, would remain in their place

And words, oh the words, that would glow every night,
in between starlit heavens and wrong versus right
To look back and see that it all was quite real,
explains in an accent, emotions I feel
For a gift once received shall be kept ever near,
as it's all I have left in my mind that is clear
And I, once a winner, am not ready to fail,
in this story I dreamt of, a logical tale

Wow!! Look at you! This is fantastic! I loved every rhyme, every line. What a wonderful way to reel us in, Will. Your writing always lends a gentleness, as if softly taking the hand of the reader and guiding us through a fairytale. Truly amazing my friend. I loved it very much!

Great piece.
I very much enjoy your poetic style.
The reader can feel the sadness and yearning for past days.
Maybe a lost love? Or just nostalgia...
Anyway, great work.
Keep it up! Take good care.

I found a lot of beauty in your garden of love. Though summertime wishes lie scattered and the petals have lost anchor, there's still much to cherish and remember. Love may seem lost for the moment but it always returns where it was once nurtured. April is such a beautiful month...Wonderful poem, my friend.

Thanks my friend. What a nice thing to say.
Even though the years have rushed by, there are some memories that remain vivid. In our dreams, they come back and we awaken longing for that time "when a wink offered yes, with no mention of no". After reading your flowing melodic lines I long for my "tangerine days." Will, your romantic poetry is simply superb! Bravo! Lydi**

Once again Will your smooth rhythm in lines takes this poem from beginning to end. A story of memory locked in place of what once was and no longer is. Loved it Will

Thanks my friend. Coming from you, that means a lot. I am thrilled you came to visit.
This is a sad tale of a dream that has reminded of the love that has been lost; scattered upon the blustery winds.
