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.

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.

Wonderfully appropriate painting for a start.. a perfect lure. Great find. As to your words - you lay chapters before your readers even though far shorter but.. you have the skill of using words as if they were starved of appreciation and must be fed, and - that you do by sharing such a true and yet magic relationship, words warm, words passionate. Even more: precious. Many, many thank yous.
