Could you imagine

Could you imagine

A love so simple

So sweet

Gathering only the rarest of flowers

Making sure each flower is filled with nothing more then their love

Could you imagine

Holding that love in the palm of your hand

Never to let it go as long as both of you live

Making certain that even if the slightest bit goes wrong

You can catch it again and everything will blossom as it should

Could you imagine

Watching the things that you both loved about each other

Grow in the being you've created from your love

Her smile, eyes and silky brown hair

His laugh, chiseled chin and the structure of a statue

Could you imagine

Growing old, becoming the rarest flower

Being picked up by the next two lovers

Who only wish to have a love like yours

Praying for a love so simple yet so sweet

Could you imagine.

Anonymous, what a simple but intense piece. In the simplest way this pieces just shook up my emotions.
I am embracing grief on a daily basis like a chore and love has squashed me as if a bug. I hide them well before I leave my home each day. "Could you Imagine" has with a few brief words has exposed both. Beautiful use of words. Can you catch it again and will everything blossom as it should? or is it just a once in a lifetime thing ?

You went deep into the piece and feedback/comments like this are what I wait for. I love you analysis on this whole piece....makes even me think more in depth about it! thank you !

I could imagine that a long time ago, when I was young. Not anymore. I don't relate love to picking flowers now, but instead, to gardening. Lots of hard work if you want something beautiful

lovely poem .... it emits innocents

Sorry . . . I can't imagine it. But it's interesting & thought-provoking that you asked. I think you repeated your "can you imagine" refrain just the right amount of times & in just the right places. I like that you picked a metaphor (flower) & wove it consistently thru-out your poem drawing unusual comparisons that show originality. I like that the woman is described in everyday terms, not painted as the most beautiful woman with all the clichéd aspects of beauty. Now for your next poem, how about if you create a recipe for those of us who cannot imagine . . . show us how to shake off the painful history & imagine the possibilities . . . *smile* (((HUGS)))

This is sweet and have you thought made I fight with the ability to imagine it myself......I get glimpses of what could be...but never proven to be reality....And I definitely will give that a try ! thank you

My oldest sister, who is 16 years older than me, has been married & divorced 3 times. After her last divorce, we were hiking & she was spewing out the most hateful things regarding how she was never going to let anyone in again. At that moment (about 20 years ago) I vowed to NEVER say "never" about friendship or love . . . even if I can't imagine it . . . at least I will never actively block it out of my experience by becoming bitter. Maybe we need to write dueling poems about overcoming the hurts & imagining the possibilities *wink! wink!* (((HUGS)))

This is one of your best writes. Not many find this in life, that is why the divorce rate is so high. Valentine
