~Endless Scribbles

She scribbles endlessly, ferociously

waiting for her true love to glance

  the aching in her wanton heart 

pen'd in crimson's darkly hued soul

   inky passages of the past

when the sun still shine'd a'glow

   and all was write with the world

As the wind rushes over the moors

  she thinks of her Heathcliff'd dreams

reverie of timely love season'd skies

   when spring sprung eternally

old man winter was only a notion

  frozen in another's memories

  til stormy nights overcame the fantasy

Still, she revisits her place in the sun

  bleeding out on paper without conscience

a wavering inner voice triumphs demurely

   as emotions spill over the tethered wastelands

once a land of wide open lush filled pleasures

  this place now only a reminder of tormented defeat

yet, her resolve for passion's affection remains

sometimes we can write all the poems in the world and that one person who we really want to notice our writings will not...

it seems all in vain...but in your case...if he notices or not...some really wonderful poetry comes of it.

like the pic...juliette binoche is one of my favorite actresses..

this poem is so moving...how did i miss it the first time around?

[Frieda P]

Thanks jacob, glad you enjoyed. Wuthering Heights has always been my favorite of mine.

I can do little else but echo the sentiments of everybody else...it is not hard to tell when you're writing about something you hold close to the heart...well actually it is hard to tell cuz everything you write is so amazing ;) Just another amazing piece from the mind of Mrs.R...I am not worthy ;) xo

[Frieda P]

As the wind rushes over the moors
she thinks of her Heathcliff'd dreams

[Frieda P]

This is how "Love Moves in Mysterious Ways" (it's a song). The fantasy...the memories...the passion...they're still there...for such endless scribbles.
It's not easy to forget a treasured memory. There will always be hope and yearning.
This is emotional, Frieda. I like the way you presented this one.
Well-done!

[Frieda P]

Indeed it does, will have to find that song, thanks so much Dhaye! :-)

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]
