~ 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... ♥

true romantics~"To awake into the bed of being there at home;

I thank you dearly for noticing my friend. I will be back soon, not feeling well tonight...

"Burned us backwards against the clock" I love this image. There is a certain degree of sadness in all your poems even if they are happy. I love the way you write. This was delicate, intimate, and happy-sad. -Nihad

He, ;-) thank you so much, I love to joke with emotions, and juxtapositions, chiaro/scuro, mementos of it... :) I feel so honored to have you by...thanks again for your support my friend, slowly I come by for all of you too :-) - Elisa

[Sugar Plum ♥]

Love the sense of harmony and serenity sparkling from your poem! Home sweet home, once we return, our soul feel as happy as in heaven...The time is going backwards - to the past, memories, other realities, where I`m myself. Coming back home brings again all what i have lost, the feeling is fascinating..

Ah also here beautifully said, my friend, for you have those eyes, and feelers who can reach beyond :) thank you so much... for your imput ♥

The bliss of being home.
Home – the comfort of home- is the only place where we can be with ourselves, with our feet on the ground.This what I felt in your beautifully woven words, like what you have said : “do not think, just feel.”
Welcome back, Sis! I am glad to see you and Robbie back.
You've been missed, and so I miss our Dear Revery, too. I wish he is here.

Salamat sister, for these words of love, as you are the one on here who bring people together, and are the one and only fighter of peace, and poetry, love you sis, have missed you tons! I hope to see you soon more around for you are my treasure!!!!!! KNOW THAT! :) Hug and kiss from over the long lands... and sea ♥

[Belle]

I feel shame for myself, I never use that word--my own language--here, but there you are, you said it with conviction. Salamat din. We both are lover of peace, I know. That is the way we deal everything here then, now and for sure on every next...

[Belle]

You new writings, they speak for you much : refreshed.

That is the spirit sister... do not feel ever ashamed of yourself for you YOU have learned me so much, YOU have been a great supportive person, sister and nobody can steel your light! keep that in mind, love. Salamat for being as precious as you are. True friends will see how beautiful you are. Come here, and have a hug....

Thank you dear, I have noticed I write better, if i take the effort, rest peace and silence... wrote a lot in these two months being off. A total rehab from this place time to time is healthy. :)

[Belle]

I understood, Sis. Recollecting thoughts in a tranquil moment works best with most. I like the word rehab from this place--I think I need that too yet I cannot separate now my work from the site... Good for you, Sis. I will read more in a while.

You just let all be lovely Sis, for time is precious, and nothing needs to be forced... I will catch you when the moment is there, and will read more of you too! can't wait! take a good care of yourself sweets.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Hypnotic! Your words flow like fallen snow on Christmas day! I am so glad to have the privilege to read your art again, Sis! You bring a wealth of beauty here... no one can exude eloquence and class like you can. You are a master at weaving Elegant art. Sunday mornings are divine (in your world). Excellent write!

Thank you so much Sis, how did I missed you and your words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it sweet soul. much love. :)

[David Scott]

I will "think less and feel more" with this review... Ha. ;)
I felt the relaxed pen. Twirling thoughts as the morning greets a happy mind are seen in these lines.
I can hardly wait to see what the day brings when it begins so well!
It is a blessing to see you here again. I have been missing some of my favorites here.
Oh, is the spelling maybe euphoria?

Ha ;) great my friend... I've missed you (your humor) and your writings so much too! catching up slowly, :) thank you with whole my heart, for your warm words, and welcome back towards me...

And yes, you are so right, about euphoria.... I thought too Dutch hehe, will change it. :D

[David Scott]

I needed to read this lovely poetry again today Eli.
Your words melt into the music and bathe my soul.
Thank you for your healing and giving spirit.

Thank you so much my friend, I feel so blessed and honored with your words :) come by anytime you want always :)

[Frieda P]

Sounds like the luvliest of Sunday mornings anyone could have. Have missed your gentle and affecting poetry dear one, the music is lovely and adds to the blissful flow of your words. Welcome back sweet sister...a little slice of heaven this one Elisa.

Thank you my dear, for these warm words, and welcome. This was one of the first I wrote, in my total rehab from this place. Be prepared LOL, there is more horror to come soon ;) It's so good to be back sweetheart, thank you for popping in here :)

[Frieda P]

Ha rehab I love that...I don't need to be prepared for your poetry, bring it on! ;-)

;) hehe thank you love I knew you would :D

[Ken Simm.]

This is to be enjoyed. Just as you have enjoyed the morning. A lovely wistful gentle piece with no edges or corners. Needless to say I love it and welcome back.

Thank you so much my friend. Also for the welcome back. I've missed your writings, and can't wait to delve into them...

[Pax]

that's what i love in sunday mornings.... you can just rest till it last... rest while someone special comfort besides you... feeling the warmth, the overflowing love between lovers shared... the early morning sun can never be best treasured without the one you love... i like this very much... a great comeback... hugs!

Those yes, are to be forever in bed.... ♥ lovely, croisants, and Jus d'orange... spoken worded poems, and making love in between... :) even the memory of a ghost love, shall be pleasant. thank you so much lovely bro! Xxx you always feel me!

[Pax]

your most welcome... as yes, that moments...and i will never get tired of saying this... i am so happy your back... it's been long indeed....

[jacob erin-cilberto]

a very beautiful piece depicting some sort of homecoming...and that the homecoming can bring peace to the one who has returned...just like there is peace in the WC as you have returned...

good to read you again, my friend.

jacob

Thank you so much jacob, you don't have an idea, how much your words mean to me. :) It's so good to be warm welcomed here again, after a pretty rough time. :) I can't wait to read you again... I did in silence, to all my precious friends, in imagination, during the day, when internet wasn't my first priority... now I'm so curious, if my feelings are simular, to my eyes, tomorrow I will be around more. (late late now)...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

just get rest now, and take care of you...we all can wait.

Thank you my friend... that's the most lovely freedom thought, I read tonight. :)
