Certainlies Reality & Memories

I see you in the shadows,

those spaces 'tween certainlies reality & memories

 freedom of a butterfly with wings that glorify

yet, you're still a tinge of blue in my mind

the cobalt dust that coats my eyes

azure mist that shades  premonitions

I feel your heart, yet in a distance

perhaps it's the fluttering of your flight

causing the winds an abrupt change 

tsunamis's rage to gentle zephyrs light

whisper gently in the morning,

embrace my dreams at night

simple tokens of soul's remembrances

Wish you could be here today. ♥

As if gentle fingers reach from this page, your poem touches me in so many ways. Soft blue wings, following a breeze whispering to eternity, forever you shall be with me, forever I shall be with you. For I only need but close my eyes to see your smile, to hear your laugh and understand that missing always begins with love.

Very beautiful Frieda, the longing is evident and the love overwhelming.

[Frieda P]

Frieda- I can feel the love and the longing in this. I love your use of cobalt dust to color the heartache.

[SteveB]

Beautifully done Frieda. I really loved the way you described the shadow land.

And what was wonderful about this is that depending upon the mood, and the need, of the reader it can be interpreted as a remberance of a dead loved one or an absent lover.

[Tai Ryens]

Whether your narrator concludes he was helpless from the start and unable to influence the decision of a distanced person or if he feels helpless at the sheer memory of it, I cannot discern. I do admire the helpless feeling of anxiety I've derived from this: knowing far too well the decision to be made, yet doing (or is unable to) nothing for the present moment . . . Well done.

[Derek Nall]

Such a soothing and breathtaking vibe, nicely done!

[Kristin Lee]

This one spoke out in so many ways. Premonitions, but they were of the past, memories etched on wings that refused to hold still. Beautiful words spoken with a lot of sorrow and longing.

[annie lee]

This is a very beautiful, obviously heart-felt and poignant piece. I can only assume it is about your sister so I appreciate the depth of the emotion. I love your use of language describing the colors; those descriptions have an ethereal feel, a supernatural feel. Love lives on; this is proof.

(not to be crass, but what is that beautiful font you used?)

[Frieda P]

You assume correctly minichinz, thanks so much for your kind thoughts.

I'm not really certain which one I used, I'll have to check on that and get back to you....

[jacob erin-cilberto]
