Deep Velvet Green

Deep Velvet Green

 

I remember you so very long ago,

A distant memory lingering

In the shadows of my soul.

It seems to fade in the morning light,

It is all there is for now, for me

In the midst of a beautiful summer-

With the sun burning like fire

Across the rippling of the sea.

It is a longing for a song

Haunting deep within my soul,

To sing to only you, my love

Upon dunes of glistening gold.

I shall feel your spirit forever

Blowing in the whispering winds-

In days of deep velvet green,

Along weathered paths of time-

In the blossoming gardens in spring.

There your essence shall forever be,

Quietly breathing with nature

Ever so tenderly.

Ohh how your words so moving..
i will always remember you for a long time
your memory could never sway..and my soul shakes
through morn ,all day till night shade comes
i heard that song so haunting,deep within
I too will sing you forever,how the wind used to brush by
i was all taken by thinking of you,only you
lovely write..

The title drew me to this one. I like all three words of it. Within the lines I esp like those shadows in the soul. I also like those dunes and can think of such a place. I also like it that titles spring from within poems as yours does here. The last two lines have strong appeal because of their gentle naturalness.
