NOSTALGIA

Looking inward and behind.

NOSTALGIA

I tried to write a poem
Because my love she asked me too
She said , "my love, please write for me"
"You say such pretty things
And when we pass from this sweet life
Your thoughts nostalgia brings"

Suddenly her fragrance fills me
Like she is in the room
I close my eyes and flowers bloom
Like photo`s in the air
My sweet fair love reclining now
Like nostalgia , but she is there

Shaking cobwebs from my brain
The mist of coming rain
Morning dew from a lowly branch
Fluttering wings of dove
You live in these and other things
My angel from above

How to make you understand
That life without you would end
You are my sweet eternal love
Our tenderness in all travail
With the certainty of a river`s bend
You rise before me frail

I hope you understand my Sweet
Mere words cannot replace
The warmth we hold so dear
The veils of heaven and the corridors
Of hell will never make this clear
I`m you`re canvas and you`re my lace

Such a sweet piece. I have felt this way before. Trying desperately to put into words the pure and true emotion of love, and rarely does it come off the way that I intended. I've written for many loves, but I don't think that many of them really understood what I was trying to say. This is a familiar piece to me; dear to my soul. Nicely written.

Second line "too" should be "to"?

This is delightful... full of delight, full of beautiful phrases and words, and, most of all, full of feeling. 'Love that final line.. sums it all up, doesn't it.

Shaking cobwebs from my brain
The mist of coming rain
Morning dew from a lowly branch
Fluttering wings of dove

Those are beautiful lines, soft but really get to the core of emotion.

Thank you so much for sharing.

This is quite stunning...such beautiful words at a moments notice - hard to accomplish I agree but you have managed to pen something quite extraordinary here. May she fill your canvas with the brightest of hues forevermore.
