Oil Lang Syne!

when love is vibrant
it paints a picture
that we hang in the
corners of our minds,
and we often view it
with melancholy smiles
long after the love has faded,
and even when we face death
a virulent force that steals
our breath just as much as
love once did, it is then
we study the picture even more,
and cling to the soft strokes
and gentle pastels that created it long ago

[Briana O'Connor]

I love the way yo express love in such simplicity, yet with a touch of emotional complexity. The way you spun your words wove a picturesque view of what love is, could be, should be or would be. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

I was directed here by my friend down there and have to say, I am glad... This is pretty awesome writing.. it is moving.. I love when a piece moves me... this one is clever, creative and emotional... my three favorite things... love is such a beautiful thing and looking back can still see the pieces that once were so bold, still have luster and brilliance even faded, warn, and distant... we remember the experiences, the emotions, the thoughts, the flaws and it can still warm the heart that close to the cold death... well done!!!
