Let the Clouds Watch Them Fly

Let the clouds up in heaven watch the wings of time

While our hearts pull down our shades

Listen as they claim them as their very own

Forgotten like flowers in the wind

Our petals will not fade

Time will stand still and there will be no change

Our hearts will stand in youth

Walking softly within a tender strength

Bright lanterns that will silence

Time's wings of truth

Our eyes will sweetly smile at silver threads of life

Knowing they will never ever age

Rewriting our own history on either side

Without those heavy wings of time

Brushing on the page

The wings of time demand; tirelessly they seek

A taste of life upon their tongue

Let the clouds up in heaven watch them fly

Our hearts pulled down the shades

Once again, we are young

At times, Neva, your usage of wonderfully universal emotions and amazingly descriptive images combine to create poems of immense beauty. When you get everything inch perfect, as you have done in this poem, one does not even begin to want to criticize it. Brilliant!

Love can do alot can't it? It can have the poetential to do alot too. I like it! =)
Props to the artrist,

Wow, stalling the transcience of time for immortal youth with such elegance, exquisite.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A fiercely rendered piece, emotionally banged with hipness full of angst, well written, great job.

You're someone worth admiring. I like your style, the words you used. It makes me wonder if I would feel the same when I get older. I am not that good with poetry, but I can say this is one of the best I have read so far.

[Pollyanna]

Fabulous, as always!
