The portrait of you

                      The portrait of you

Phantom dreams led me to you. You were my illusion of perfection. I was flattered when you condemn me to loving you forever by a gesture of hello and releasing your veil of perfection. You create nuptial dances into early mornings and create portraits of never-ending love into the German Winter nights. 

I recited poetry  to you, deep into the midnight hours. We found the charity of peace and harmony enough to warm up the cold days and nights  of the German Winter. Beneath the Spring moon. The utopia of love fell to earth. I learn the hollow heart cannot be seen when camouflage by the perfection of beauty. I learn beauty wasn’t perfection.

Just a asylum of wishes and wants to diminish and condemn hopeful men to want, what they should not need.

Old men in the old taverns talks of old wars and beautiful woman. The painful memories become less with time and separation. Old men will paint with words portraits of woman, siren or muse. As dances they would repeat again. They would tell you. Better to know heaven and hell than have phantom dreams never attempted.

Stunning words you wove CP. After I read this piece. It catapults my mind again in the era of World War II. And how young soldiers battles the coldness of winter and loneliness by reading letters and looking at he portraits of their family and girlfriends which gives them hope and purpose to make it through the war..

Beautiful - the last line says it all..........we must be willing to take a chance, enjoy that which is with us while we can.
The photo inspired you to write wonderful words of memories of someone while in Germany?
