histoires d'amour

happy valentine's day, writer's cafe!

artwork y konstantin razumo

an alphabet of stealthy references

some powerful and some vague

quietly tiptoes ‘neath my fingertips

creating histoires d'amour

 

unbridled joy cascades upward

landing on the keyboard of glorious emotions

‘tis there a filigreed empyrean expands before me

as new phrases define desire

 

oui, mon amour

repeatedly you caress my world

each time with a new cadence

proving true love stories never have endings

 

 

 

 

histoires d'amour = stories of love

[Bala Gorthi]

Very true indeed, true love stories never have endings. The words are just as beautiful as the that feeling love that made them land on the keyboard.
This is very very fine poetry by a very fine poetess.
I read and read and got mesmerised by the beauty of this write.
Thank you Lydia for this craft.

dearest Lydia... a poem this beautiful...
the Cafe has listed to the side-Bar a number of your poems.
This one in particular is so romantic. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

How lovely you reviewed this one again, Pat. Thank you very much. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear romance connoisseur... O' Lydia... your poem is still haunting
the halls of the Cafe. I hear the crystal on the chandelier
to the tune of Claire de lune... I cross my heart and wish that
it rains Valentines forever. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Pat....you really dug back into the archives for this one! I appreciate it! With Valentine's Day approaching, I have to write a few more love poems. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Je ‘ teime... my friend... the weather is
dependent on your romantic Quill as feathered birds on branches sing the love songs of ancient pyramids along the Nile... we wait in anticipation. tenderly, Pat

[Nicholas Shea]

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Nicholas. I appreciate the review. Lydi**

[DIVYA]

Three beautiful verses, standing in their own right as amazing poems. The concluding verse highlights the bliss, joy and optimism felt so finely throughout the poem.

[Lydia Shutter]

Sweet Divya, thank you so much. Lydi**

[redzone]

how did I miss this exotic, romantic poem Lydi... when your poetry speaks French, I am like Gomez when Mortica spoke French in that TV show Addam's Family... oui, mon amour, you write love stories, each a "cadence" of "filigreed empyrean expands defining desire"... ah Lydi, this must be what it feels like to be struck by Cupid's arrow every year... ;0)

oui, mon ami, "nice" is never enough when it comes to your poetry Lydi...

[Lydia Shutter]

OMG....I remember Gomez and Morticia....wonderful! Curt, my poetry has no expiration date so you can read it whenever you have time....and when you do, I am always so pleased. Thanks, my friend. Lydi**

[MsJewel]

Lydi, You write with such style...such grace...such class...How I have missed reading you! :) Julie

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Julie....so wonderful to see your smiling face on my page. Lydi**

[Valentine]

I have to agree, true love goes on in the heart even after a death of the partner. 31/2 years, I still feel just as married and have the ring on my finger he put there years ago. Love your writings. Valentine

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Kathie! Lydi**

[Trace]

Nobody does Stories of love like you.
you have mastered the art of lyrical intrigue in your poetry.

I always love reading you,

Trace

[Lydia Shutter]

Trace! What a nice surprise. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for visiting my page. Lydi**

[Manu]

I wonder how uninteresting our life would have been if there were no love stories. Yes, love stories never have endings even if the people involved in it have. Wonderful poetry, Lydi. Beautiful image.
Very beautifully worded work :-)
