I remember no world

I remember no world

Before her shadow on my skin

Only chaos

Only an empty void

And then she came

In poetry and prose

Etched sunrise ink

Across my soul

Aroused was the scent of her sea

The shores of her rivers

Ancient, mystic waters

Carrying me to raven calls

For moments our flames ignited

Flowed fierce into one

Our fragile flaws

Melted into the pleasure of Being

Before her loving goodbye

Brought a desolation

I could not comprehend

Reminded me of the universe

In its unborn nothingness

She asked me once

If I believed in miracles

And I know I must

Waking every dawn

Clinging to the hope of seeing

The Wonderland of her smile…

Oh , so sadly beautiful. The opening lines were pure magic and then the loss , so melancholic...

lovely poetry :)

We often find ourselves praying for memories to come live again in us, though the days so often steal their strength. I thank you so much for your presence here.

Excellent poem Froman. I can sense the feeling of love as I read this one, as if I am there. Amazing :D

And then she came, In poetry and prose, Etched sunrise ink, Across my soul...
Deep imagery you've dappled on the poetic-page. After reading your work, I say, "The reason of poetry belongs to her." I like the imagery of fantasy & destiny you've created through the vibes of your thought invoking words.

.. 'Etched sunrise ink - Across my soul - Aroused was the scent of her sea - The shores of her rivers.. '

There's such a mix of pain and perfection in this poem, Craig. The joyful memory of what was wonderful seems almost untarnished until that 'goodbye' which could near shatter a heart, your heart. And yet.. those final lines display an undiminished and determined need to fulfil your dreams. Dream on. There's a magic and very lovely spell here.

I so deeply appreciate your words, emma... your warm thoughts and wishes... Yes.. sometimes beautiful memories can seem as dreams... can seem as magic... And in rare occasions.. they are... Sweet wishes for your weekend, dear friend... :)

I know what it's like to be out of it, but this is what you make of it, my dear poet. Your language is deep emotion that pours out of you like a magnificent waterfall

A beautiful piece. It just shows that after love there is no going back. Love changes everything and makes anything we had experienced before it seem meaningless.
An excellent piece of poetry. Well done!

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you so much, AnneMarie... You saw so very well into my words.. painted with my soul's ever-altered expressions... Yes.. there is no going back, is there?

This is beautiful. Written so well, I was surprise at the flow of some of the lines. One of the nicest I have read in some time. Valentine
