~ Backwards

Love, Romance, Place to wake up, Euphoria

~ Backwards

 

 

I once belonged to steal the night, from a day,

But what a wonderful garden you’ve grown,

A window pane, so transient, visions into

Delights bloom, grace and harmony, of your own

 

Now nothing less is brought to me,

Just your eloquent voice of  rest and peace,

Burned us backwards against the clock

There is no more need to cry out the salt of tears

 

Embrace the pain, softly and with your careful touch,

Whisper it, your invisible heart, through the morning dew;

Paint the name, for it has to be buried there

Deep underneath this bed of leaves anew…

 

Now closed eyes will bring you forward

To awake into the bed of being there at home;

A place to stay, and to forever wake-up

On Sunday mornings, with a timeless love so prone

You do me in baby, my head always a mix of things when I read you. All sorts of one thing set next to another. You are unpredictable, yet at the same time, you make everything end in the way I hope it will. I so hope you are happy my dear Elise. Big kiss and hugs - my so talented writer -

Oh Rosie, sniff, you brought me tears to my eyes, my darling... you know we have such a strong bond, even when we don't hear eachother for a very long time... I thought of you that much lately, and now you just pop in, it's fate, for sure.... I hope you're well, and enjoying every tiny piece of life, and I'm there for you too in a while, I promise... my also ever talented muse. :) Love to you Rosie, and a strong hug from the Netherlands... ♥

Sis, This is an embrace in itself... I had to read it again...

You always calm my heart with such gentle dreamy words...
Anytime I feel out of sorts, I come to your poetry...
You exude wisdom, patience, and kindness... along with potent thoughts...
The diversity you instill, is magnetic!

Wow Elisa, this is beautiful.

Deep meanings to the words, the poem flows deliciously.

I can see a well worn relationship in this piece, it reminds me of my previous love. Hanging on together when we both knew there was better for us.

With the lines "I once belonged to steal the night" and "burned backwards against the clock" I found the English a bit strange, is it poetic license?

Just nit picking lady, you are a very talented poet.

Well written and well read.

Arigoto gozaimas Nakama, Sam-San, :) your words do to, and thanks for the nit pick, love that... I shall think about it. Tis that it flew just out like this, and never changed it... a poem is never finished you see? :) Sonkei, always...

[Mrs Meggins]

Far after midnight, tears, my dear, clock is turning backwards, in early mornings of facts, I can't denial.... it's a piece moving like the other older ones, of it's own... it has a life of it's own, and it's turning backwards, now and then... thank you with whole my heart..... x

[dillonjensen]

I couldn't help but smile while reading this. Oh, the feels! Reminds me of a period of transience that slowly gets combated by a deep-seated love, bringing two individuals so close together as to unite harmoniously.

Dillon, thank you so much for noticing this piece of love I've written a while ago... you're close, yes, it was for someone I truly love. I'm ever grateful to you dear.

[dillonjensen]

I'm glad I stumbled upon it! Very well done.

Thank you so much again. I feel really humbled with you reading me.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

Pink Silence...so much softer than Red but just as powerful. I adore the first line - I once belonged to steal the night, from a day,....I always feel need to sway when I read your work....I am transformed into so many different things, most inspiring and seducing into pale shades of beauty and love. Thank you for lending me your tenderness. This was a much needed journey! ~

Thank you so much my friend, your words mean a lot xx

[Alexx Wake]

Why are you so different?
I absolutely adore every bit of detail you put into this piece.
The music playing in the background actually made me slightly more immersed.
I'm at awe. Great work!

Thanks a lot stranger :))) for your nice review, this woman appreciate it. :)
