Leaf of Sparkle

Serene mirror of gazing time

Admiring a shining reflection of heart

Alone in solitude a parallel universe appears

Strong you still run through veins so deep

A side of emotion fighting to be 

Figurings of memories staring at me

Images of each saying once uttered by you

Sitting by a perfected sunshine

True fall immersing into heated summers

Haltings of words you sang once to a soul

Inductions stood by an alter asking for more

A promise sparkling in some gaze

Unseeing history making reason for your ways

If by curtain fall lose of sleep swam through this race

Running to your door, a hopeless romance

Climbed your roots as i am always within you

Breaking point immersing this need

If only for once you could see

Rivers have gone by unfrozen silenced shaken trees

Bleed it may, this urgency for your warmth

As i held your every thought on my lap

Caressing every idea that is you

If by scenery this vision came to allude

Satin series gentle counts of a second mending the broken

As i slowly walked home

Leaf of sparkle remains on a bench once known

Neat couplets and imagery that is lovely and true to your style.

[Einstein Noodle]

poignant ...always love couplets ..they lend order to the tempest of feelings when unrequited love is re-lived ... so sad the pain ... love the park bench and the fall ... did not quite understand how it immerses into summer ... unless your speaker is deliberately skipping the cold death of winter .. not wanting to face it ... i really like this:
"Images of each saying once uttered by you
Sitting by a perfected sunshine"
i think it is beautiful how it captures our ability to "remember" things as golden ..when in fact they may have been tarnished brass ;}
i am captured in reading ... and in your closing i am gratified by the bench ... they are such a comfort ..even in the most destitute, dire circumstances says i!

Written in a most poetic way. Some lovely lines, and park benches I am left thinking could tell many an interesting story. I have some of my own. Thank you.

Running to your door as hopeless romance
Climbed your heart as i am with you

Breaking points would bridge this need
If only for once you could see

Loved these lines....
The poem is filled with lost love and undertone of sadness.... When memories are only thing that remains.... love the song too ...
