Guardian of Memories

Three Rhyming Quatrains in an a~b~a~b, c~d~c~d, e~f~e~f, with a Rhyming Couplet envoi. I wrote this thinking that we are the Guardians of our memories... To share or not to share with others.

Guardian of Memories

Kaleidoscope colours crisscrossing skies;

wakeful kisses ~ dreams clung-to purest trust.

 Through heavenly clouds glowing sun surprise;

 divine thoughts still near, so full of shared lust.

Hugs became a song of deepest true love;

 still caressed by warmth, naked bodies knew ...

Grand serenades soar from angels above;

shared moments now one, forever so true.

 Time, but a guardian of memories ... 

fleeting quickly, as soft sea breezes rest.

 Sparkling, silver depths of blessed destinies …

always, recalling passion's words expressed.

  Blissful moments shared, entwined in love's arms;

 lost in memories of sweet tempting charms.

If you happen to read my words i would appreciate it if you would take the time to review. I always review what I read...

What I took for a very romantic poem upon first reading I saw as something deeper an expression of existentialism and one's opening to one's own harmony and passion for nature itself. I loved the stanza
" Time, but a guardian of memories ...
fleeting quickly, as soft sea breezes rest.
Sparkling, silver depths of blessed destinies …
always, recalling passion's words expressed."
Beautiful Lisa.

Interesting... we are on the computer reviewing at the same time... I think about that... as I review and get reviews back from all over the world... and I think...What are they doing, where are they, etc.
I for one am sitting in my art room at the computer with thoughts of completing a poem I started awhile back. I know my husband Bob will be home soon from the gym and we will eat lunch, most likely the veggie soup I made this morning..
It is 1:32 and cool with clouds today...
Thank you so much for your review,
Lisa, now in Spain

Yes Lisa, I am sitting in a country house in Brazil but soon will be returning to Florida thinking the same about those that review my scribbles.

[Lisasview]

I have been to Brazil... Are you from there?

Kind, warm and generous words shared dear Lisa.
"Hugs became a song of deepest true love;
still caressed by warmth, naked bodies knew ...
Grand serenades soar from angels above;
shared moments now one, forever so true."
The above lines are true. In old age, I remember the hugs and the kisses now. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

[Lisasview]

Old age ...really... but sweet memories no matter wattage are always so good.
Thank you for reading a reviewing my poem.. I really appreciate it..
Lisa getting late here in Spain...

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Lisa and you are welcome. I agree.

[Neville]

I think this is quite possibly my favourite Lisa doing whatever poems to date .. there is indeed something very special about memories and for lots of reasons of course .. many of which, I have already unfortunately forgot ..

Neville, must be something to do with these bloomin apples :)

[Lisasview]

Wow, your favourite... Well that does say alot...
Thank you so much... One of my favourites... and I do have a few is Innocence ..oh well, and a second one is Nymph..
Good ness what apples????
Lisa, Back on the computer...red wine glass by my side... Just finished lunch and had a good work out..inspite of all the spider bites I got the other night while sleeping... Horrible... my hand tripled in size..and the pain and itching... Now on Steroids which seem to be helping...alittle..Yikes

[Neville]

........... ouch, mind you, I do like a woman with big hands :)

[Lisasview]

Oh gosh no, I play piano
swelling hand is a bother....
Lisa, still busy

[Donna]

Beautiful poem. You have a way with words! Very nice!

[Lisasview]

Thank you so very much for your kind review Dona,
Lisa, early now in Spain

[lightsong]

You are getting better dear Lisa, You allow your imagination to be open and compose the words swiftly and effortlessly from there. This is lovely and wistful. wonderful one my Sweet💓

[Lisasview]

Thank you my dear friend for reading and reviewing... I have so many unwritten thoughts about memories...kept to ourselves and sometimes shared...once shared the person may continue the memories..but now it is theirs.. So weird isn't it...
Lisa, home

[Temperance]

We are our own guardians of our memories. Love this poem! From the beautiful opening line to the last line this is full of beautiful words. Great work dear Lisa! Temp

[Lisasview]

Hi Temp (Interesting name..)
I am delighted that you once again read a poem of mine and took the time to review it.... I have just posted another one... Called Nymph...I think you might like it..
Lisa, getting late in Spain

[Temperance]

Your welcome and I will check out Nymph!

[Aura]

"Kaleidoscope colours crisscrossing skies" is such a beautiful line! It makes me think of an array of colours and that is how our memories might look... does that make sense? Our memories might be colorful like a kaleidoscope. Our memories can be shared or they can be kept private. Sometimes they are forgotten but can be remembered just as easily. Thanks for sharing!

[Lisasview]

Good morning Aura... You hit my thoughts right on the nail...perfect!!
Thank you for your kind review,
Lisa, almost 7am in Spain

[Aura]

My pleasure!

[Lisasview]

Did you see that I posted Nymph?

[Aura]

No i have not. Maybe I'll check that out!

[Lisasview]

Great!....

[Chris Shaw]

We are indeed the guardians of our own memories and make the decision as to whether we wish to share them or not. Some are easily shared, others can remain hidden. When it comes to love and how uplifting that can be then sharing it, is such a generous thing to do. Beautiful thoughts here of tender moments in the past. Who would not wish to remember the warmth and exhilaration of those experiences. Another super write from your talented pen Lisa. Have a lovely day.

Chris

[Lisasview]

Good morning Chris...
Thank you for being the first to read my poem... So glad you enjoyed it...Did you mean would not wish??Beautiful thoughts here of tender moments in the past. Who would not wish to remember the warmth and exhilaration of those
On a quest to spend more time writing..but of course life always gets in my way... Veggie gardening, having our green drink and then off for a walk...ah well..
Lisa, sunny day

[Chris Shaw]

No Lisa, on the contrary. I was questioning why anyone would not want to share uplifting, loving moments in comparison to some of the darker stuff which they might choose not to share. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Hope you have a great day. Sun is out here. It's going to be a hot one :)

[Lisasview]

Oh well that makes sense..Just got a bit confused about the not want to ...
Off for our walk..
Lisa

[Chris Shaw]

Have fun on your walk :)

[Lisasview]

We had a fabulous walk..the breeze was so strong that for the first part we were being pushed back.. so that made it more difficult ...which is good.
