Hurried Steps

As we venture through life we can only hope that we find love that lasts...

Hurried Steps

Life's winding vines cling to hurried steps,

as our story unfolds into those

cherished moments shared,

behind closed doors.

Kisses whisper stories we've longed for,

memories still embracing us

… warm and tender.

Treasured pieces we've woven together,

lives filled by yesterday's dreams

finding love where we left it …

in eagerly entwined hands,

holding hearts afloat.

Notions beckon us resume vibrant adventures,

skipping thru hot forests' shining miracles; 

endless paths cross, zigzagging thru life,

never yet reaching their ends.

Passions play tender symphonies,

only our souls can hear …

forever together.

Softly written with tenderness and passion; we should not hurry but wait for the right person for us who fills our life with laughter and joy. Add music and art and you got a lot going good.
I enjoy every poem that touches and says a lot.

When you live in an atmosphere of moving clouds that form romantic Vows of passion flowers that become an orchestrated Theatre 🎭 where Tales of Lovers are forever entwined in syncopated Rhyme… Life can be a Merry go Round to reach for the Golden Ring. 💍 Amen.. Pat

Yes, life can be a Merry Go Round... hoping to reach for the golden ring...

Life's winding vines are thought of by many, but only poets contemplate them deeper than brief bookmarks in the tales of outer lives.
I don't know if it's age that does it, but pondering such things is fast becoming my favourite past-time, with accompanying coffee, music or just staring out the window as the present passes, while I pause and reflect on those times past that we each consider important in our own lives.
I found myself humming the funeral march of the marionettes (the theme from Alfred Hitchcock presents) the other day, which made me reminisce on how I used to love that show, which then disturbed my reminiscing, by making me go watch some old episodes again.
That confused me when I asked myself midway through "is this still a reminiscence, or is it something new to be reminded about on another day? I had to lie down after that! 😃
Perhaps one day I will reminisce about the time I tried to explain to you about my reminiscences being or not being reminiscences...
But for now I might need a lie down again!
A fine reminiscence to ponder as we all paint our own picture from your words. Now I'm wondering if I have reminiscenceitis! 😃

Great review for me because at my age that is where I am reminiscing... By the way love good old Alfred... never missed an episode..never...
Now I am busy with painting, poetry and piano practice... still quite young but actually 76 years old..Scary to think that...
Lisa, going back to painting... and I just am about to post a new one... Clever Moments...

This style of writing suits you to a T Lisa. Seems not many folk are fortunate enough to find a life long love, or cannot be bothered to put in the effort, with marriage now becoming yet another disposable, binned at the first sign of trouble.
Hope you are well

Funny to get a review from me just now as I just left you one as well.....
Yes, every one seems to be in a hurry to go onto another "thing"....Hurried Steps is about that and what it would mean to be actually connected to one person and to feel fufilled in ones life...Yes, putting in the effort... Thank you for your kind review... I have been away for quite sometime... new knee, etc...but I recently posted 5 new poems and I plan to post another one in the next few days called Clever thoughts...Need to find the perfect image for that one...
Lisa, need to get to my water color piece I am doing...

[Gee]

Have a lovely Sunday Lisa

[Lisasview]

you too...I have two commissioned watercolours I need to get working on...

[Betty Hermelee]

you are very welcome Lisa, now hunkering down in our pied a terre in NYc because of destruction in NC… o power, water, etc
warmly, B🌷

[Lisasview]

Oh I did not realise that you were affected by the storm!

[Betty Hermelee]

a reunion of love, sensual tryst ...sharing whispers and memories behind closed doors, resuming the passion that was...." only souls can hear forever together" more adventures to come.....very romantic Lisa, and enjoyed immensely..
Warmly, B

Your poem "Hurried Steps" beautifully captures the essence of love and time through its tender imagery and emotional depth. The intertwining of life's journey with cherished memories and intimate moments creates a sense of warmth and nostalgia. I especially appreciated how you used vivid metaphors like "winding vines" and "hot forests' shining miracles" to illustrate the unpredictability and beauty of life’s path. The repetition of love as a constant theme, especially in phrases like "holding hearts afloat" and "passions play tender symphonies," evokes a feeling of deep connection and eternal togetherness, resonating with a quiet, soulful harmony. It’s a heartfelt piece that speaks to the enduring nature of love amidst life’s twists and turns.

I agree with Emmajoy, the painting you selected enhances this poem, makes it pop as the words make you breathless. Nicely penned Lisa.
