until our forever

a repost from way back for Valentine's Day....because words do not expire

artwork by daniela man

you pull me back towards myself
with your special brand of gravity
you surround me with your loving logic
then pour me into your arms
just one more time
one for the road as it were
a steady slow rain of emotion falls
desire blossoms 
in this half dream - half reality moment

mon amour
perhaps it has all been said before
but i must tell you once more
with feeling
when the sun embraces the sea 
when the moon kisses the stars
               until our forever
i love you

can't say I'm a big fan of V-Day, mainly I guess cause what you are writing so poetically, and so very "nicely" I might add, should be the 'half dream-half reality' continuously, by the day, by the hour, every nanosecond now and forever, but there is a reason they also say, "never got to bed angry".....

I did have this once though, but it was very long ago when the sea ate the sun and stars shown in her eyes and the moon lit up her face... our forever lasts now only in my dreams... but Lydi, your repost has reminded me of those days and that time and the way that dreams remain and keep your heart beating... your poetry always reminds me just how "nice" love can be...

It's not just in dreams and fantasies....it can be this way. Thing is, it changes with time....gets even better even though it is different. It is better to have loved and lost I suppose. Thanks for this review, my friend. Always appreciate the time you take to write the "nice" ones. Lydi**

Ah, Lydi, that attraction...like a body orbiting a planet, unable to break the pull of gravity...not, if we are lucky enough, that we would want to leave. Good fortune brings us there...hard work keeps us there.
The old saying...Love means never having to say you're sorry...was a Hollywood fabrication. Perhaps it should have read...Love does not exist in a vacuum...two must work with one idea in mind...to keep love alive and accept the changes.

How right you are, Ted! thank you very much for your review. Lydi**

" ... perhaps it has all been said before / but i must tell you once more". That's poetry in a nutshell. Doesn't matter if it has been said before, we are driven to say it again ... in OUR way. Nice write. ~Jim

[Lydia Shutter]

Always happy to see a review from you, Jim. Thanks so much. Lydi**

Who said logic and poetry couldn't come to a truce. It's a very gentle and romantic read. Thanks for sharing ♡

well done Lydia ... words truly do live on ... L 1-4 for me are absolutely brilliant ... so incredibly full ... blessed and blooming ... and i think your "one for the road" and " ...all been said before" ... is brand new the way you use it ... what a treat Lydia ... and the artwork is perfect .. i took a bit of time to look at it and there is a swirling of activity with the beads, the hair thingy and the flowers but if i take time the focus is on her face after all ... much like your poem pulls .. is influenced by gravity .. and pours ... so glad i did not miss this one .. thanks for sharing!

You are a sweetheart, E. Thank you for the review of the poem and the artwork! I do take time to find art that will complement my words and you noticed. That makes me happy. I was out of town when you reviewed this one. Sorry it took me so long to answer. Lydi**

I don't think anyone writes a love poem quite like you Lydi. Especially on this auspicious day.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Ken. Happy Valentine's Day to you!

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, we absolutely should, Pete. Thank you for the review. Lydi**
