A Picture of Love

Loosely linked stylistically, with my "A Picture Of Beauty"; and "The Portrait" poems (on this site).

I remember the bliss,

Of your first kiss,

That warm tongue,

And tender lips

 

That refined shape,

And of late,

Your face reminds me,

Of a portrait

 

Which I held,

In my hands,

When you travelled,

To distant lands

 

Away from me,

But your thoughts were near,

And my intentions were crystal clear

 

A rose for you,

I longed to spare,

To rest gently,

In your black hair

 

I think you know,

What could follow,

Timeless love,

Or endless sorrow.

[Surrealstorm]

I think this is very beautiful. it's melodic as some of the other reviewers stated. It flows so sweetly and then you end it by saying that it could end with
"timeless love
or endless sorrow"
causing it to be almost bittersweet because the reader realizes that it could end in sorrow...excellent write as always!

[Twilight]

Thanks, ms. Surreal..!

Julian, all I need to do is sign off and I can read you as Eternity.
You are a passionate poet, I must say that.
Forgiveness is a requirement to be forgiven.

[Greg Close]

Beautiful and heartfelt, with a kind of ambiguous ending. Just like love. Just like life.

[Twilight]

It sure is, Greg..!

I felt a sweet melody in the poem. The emotion was no overdone, but simply stated, but stated beautifully. I loved the ending two stanza's the most. I enjoyed reading this!

[Twilight]

Good to know! Thanks.

[Sasavet]

This ended so perfectly. It's all in her hands to end it beautifully or tragically, and you're trusting her enough to let her decide. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)

[Twilight]

Thanks for the praise.
