Apprehension's Rhyme

Apprehension, tucked in heart's intuition

    love grows old and insignificant

      once upon a time there

          was felicitous anticipation

This plight haunts my memory's spirit

   captured within guilt's sunlight

    windows upon my soul,

         now darkly tinged contemplation

 Pensive thoughts rain hit or miss through

                   frosted reflector's windowpain

         sad cricket sounds remind me of an old rhythm

              when  poetry still rhymed ~

Winds blow by, arresting breath

    as growing older fades star's night

      wise man once told me, 

believe in

           the angels of your own fateful heart

We used to dance in well versed harmony

         bluebirds never sang of stormy endings

              and there was no such thing

                       as 'once upon a' in time

Never such a thing as once upon a time.. Telling the sad tale of a love that's kickstarted and withered far too many times to count, enhanced by your wooing diction. I liked this, it speaks of a memory uniquely, in a way I can't pinpoint but still gets to me.

[Frieda P]

Hmm unfortunately all too true, 'wooing diction' I love that Tai, thanks so much, your thoughts are always muchly appreciated.

I'm beginning to realise and learn that love doesn't always last forever, I think sometimes you are so caught up with each other at the beginning that you soon get bored and grow apart.

[David Scott]

I like the last line very much Frieda.
Taking a phrase and expanding the meaning of it is perfect...
Who wants it "once" anyhow...?
I think this was special!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Scott, glad you understood where I was coming from....much appreciate your thoughts.

Love can do that sometomes. Be great for the time then turn sour over time, or then and there at that moment, having lonliness enter. Or one accepts it by staying in it, going along being miserable for whatever reason that keeps the person in their clutches. And a shame when it happens to good people. Nicely done.

[Frieda P]

Funny how that happens, and all too often, thanks for your thoughts BlackRose.

[BlackRose]

As long as were strong, we can prevail through anything. :o)

[Scott Metro]

You can't go home again...I know...I've tried.
Just have to shift your paradigm...find the unusual in the everyday...
Nice trip into a depleted mindset..

A Woman's heart is a secret chamber men can only imagine and look at amazement from outside ...that's the suspense, that's the thrill and that's the beauty...also the invitation :)

[Frieda P]

Oddly stirring review, thanks muchly Avinash ;-)

There is something oddly soothing about this 'Apprehension's Rhyme'. It exudes a calm demeanour and does its work beautifully. It feels like a poem of acceptance. Good job! =)

[Frieda P]

[Devesh]
