Clever Moments


Clever moments, pretending wanting you,

never enters my mind; yet, it is real.

Memories sweetly keep it all alive …

feelings hidden within sighs' fervid breaths.


Wishing fate allows more peaceful daydreams,

clever moments, pretending wanting you,

flow through our lives beneath bright, starlit skies …

know ne'er again will two loving hearts meet.


Precious thoughts dancing like fireflies through life;

when soft fingertips once caressed blushed cheeks.

Clever moments, pretending wanting you,

      raindrops on petals stir lonely heartaches.


Passion holds us like air we do not see;

'cross time and back, lush lingering desires.

Yearning for simple yesterdays ~ so loved

… clever moments, pretending wanting you.

I like that! Calling the memory of some thought clever moments!
We all have them, along with some really dumb ones too in my case, but memory erases the dumb folder in our minds far more frequently, which must explain why those clever moments remain so crystal in out minds.
I think mine are stored in a plastic wallet that may be red or pink in colour, which might explain all those rose tinted happy memories! 😃

I like the repetition of the line, the varied emotions and images, and the way you have shaped the poem on the page.
Most of the poetry I've seen so far on Writer's Café is romantic. Your romantic poetry is deeply felt and has a musical tone.

Dear Lisa
An extraordinary write...One leaves me with questions about their relationship, almost like a tease....many doubts about desires and pretending to to desire....when in fact, the desire is real, not imagined....and keeping those memories alive as much as possible....you show us heartfelt feelings of love and loss....sad with a bit of hope...
Warmly, B

I like the way 'clever' is dropped into a poem about memory and desire. It's almost like a meta comment on the way the poem is enacting the whole process it is describing. Form is inextricably from content, as it is in the best of poems.

'Precious thoughts dancing like fireflies through life;
when soft fingertips once caressed blushed cheeks
Clever moments, pretending wanting you,

Seems there's a serious journey here but, same time a near almost resignation that the sun won't be shining warm by the end of it. There are often signs, pauses, doubts along a route, warnings from nowhere, thoughts painful, itinerary too full one day, near empty the next. Love has either a peace and joy start to finish incomplete or a tempestuous passion that gradually loses power. Whichever appears to be drenched with hope yet.. doubtful; thoughtful but wondering if too many times of a moment.

A sad though finely laid poem, but - wondering if the start knew the ending in advance?

Woooow!!! This poem beautifully captures the bittersweet longing and heartache of unfulfilled love. The repetition of "clever moments, pretending wanting you" adds to the sense of yearning and the delicate balance between desire and restraint. The imagery of memories, fireflies, and raindrops evokes a quiet sadness, as if you are gently holding onto what once was. There’s a tender melancholy in the way passion and nostalgia weave through time, leaving the reader with a deep sense of wistfulness. It’s a touching reflection on love, loss, and the ache of what could have been.
