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.

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!

Thanks, ms. Surreal..!

No worries, first of all.

I liked this, especially the last stanza.

A beautiful poem!

[Ama May Cooper]

So sweet.
Like the crying of a heart on a sunset morning to its sleeping lover. Sends shivers down my spine of pure passion. So simply wrote but so filled with pure and clean energy that you can almost feel hiddden compllications . I loved it

As always you have managed to sweep me away with your poetry. Such strong imagary and sentiment. We've all been in the place whee love in new and we know that either greatness or saddness is approaching.

Love it! Thank you for sharing!
