Time

Finally, finished my Quatrains, in 8-count poem. Thank you again Richard for your help in fine tuning my poem...I am forever grateful.

   Time.... 

                            

B'neath calm clouds of endless time,

their paths had crossed again … oh, fate!

No changes made, their lives still chime;

love has no expiration date.

 

Click - click, ticked the bell of time….

 

His lips caressed each soft, closed lid;

air filled with longing’s deep desire.

All that which they knew life forbid ...

was wished - her heart he could acquire.

 

For her, his feelings ne’er denied …

intense, the moments they both sought.

Though, naked … boldly, they were tied;

forever bound, this was their lot.

 

Smooth fingers found a single tear;

emotions clung to bosoms bare.

In warm hands crying, without fear,

until no more sad tears they’d share.

A very sensual poem Lisa, which shows us that after time has passed, seeing your loved one once more can be just as passionate as it was before...maybe even better now than before.... words of lust and feeling each other in a wonderful love tryst.....even though it might be taboo...
Thanks for sharing Lisa, have a wonderful New Year!
Warmly, B

Oh gosh dear Betty,
As I am going back over my poems and reviews I see that I never responded to your excellent review which you sent a month ago!! I am so sorry...
I had a new knee on January 3 and I am still dealing with that. Everyday seems like a new challenge. I do miss writing...and of course reading and reviewing. I did post one today that I started many months ago......Golden Moments ... So I feel I am now back on the track of writing...
Hugs to you,
Lisa

[Betty Hermelee]

no apologies Lisa... I understand....feel well!
Warmly, B

[Lisasview]

Thank you,

Those connections that are forever bonds even if the universe tries to separate them. Those moments of unhindered unstoppable connection.

This has a soft flow romantic feel with a slight sadness.

[Lisasview]

Hi there, Thank you so much for reading and reviewing poem. I really appreciate it.
Lisa

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome

[emmajoygreen]

This really is both sweetness and seduction wrapped in a flow of fine words. Plus - for me, the wording shadow your chosen picture so well, perhaps near enough, a purist's post - walking 'longside true romance,

[Lisasview]

How lovely dearest Emma to hear from you.... I have not been on here much recently and I miss it... Going in for a knee replacement January 3, so maybe I will have more time to write???
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

Yes, more writing for sure, but, painful in the meantime and extreme patience and physio after the op. But, I know you'll be a very good girl and ultimately be rock climbing and doing the polka -- when you can. Two of my sisters have had that op, both relieved and relieved after surgery . Take care meantime, enjoy whatever and however much you can beforehand., dear, dear friend. Hugs and bestest wishes.

(Meantime, your poem is glorious... )

[Lisasview]

What is interesting and so different than the States is that I will be in the hospital 5 days...Doing PT twice a day...so that is good...
Thank you for your sweet message...
Lisa xx

[emmajoygreen]

Lisa, have seen how things were before, during and after so, more than ready to send you the very. VERY best wishes, my friend.

[emmajoygreen]

G' morning although seem to have moved to the N. Pole, is so cold.
See you in the Cafe so, sending yet more very best wishes and hoping you are feeling comfortable if not 100%. Tell, if you have time, in here of via message. Otherwise, Lisa, please take care, go slowly but gradually, hopefully on the hop. xx

[Lisasview]

Finally home
They kept me longer than planned
They could not figure out the right pain killers….i was in over the top pain.
Today is the first day I am writing.
Thank you so much for caring
Hugs,
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

Very gentle hugs.. will message in a while. I do care.

[emmajoygreen]

A week later, 21/1 - hope things are far better than were. Hug

[Lisasview]

Good morning my dear friend,
It is nearly 3 weeks and it has been quite a challenge dealing with the pain..not fun.
But I am better...
Thank you so much,
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

Good to read you are better, hopefully much better than was not still uncomfortable now and again. Won't try the bossy sister bit by advising you to go slowly! Aim for the good weather when you can sit or slowly walk in sunshine, yes?!

[Lisasview]

Yes, for sure... I am in PT three times a week...And, I know I am on my feet too long.
Made berry and orange jam preserves yesterday...
Today, I am on my recliner...well, not all day...
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

I laughed at the last sentence! Who are you
trying to convince - Self or Me! :)

(That jam should be health giving.. good mix. 'Love jam - also chutney - making! )

neighbour just called in to borrow.. wait for it.. sugar!!! :)

[Lisasview]

Okay, so I finally posted a new one, Emma that I started many months ago...Golden Moments...
Lisa

Hi there strange... so nice to see you back and so nice of you to read and review one of my favourite oems.
Thank you so much!!
Lisa, now in Tarragona, Spain on a short holiday

[Red Brick Keshner]

That read pleasantly well and with Richard's notes am hard pressed to find anything amiss. My take away is that all these wonderful things that make up our lives are laid out and experienced in time. And though time is as they say is all that we have, in our times we have either forgone our timely opportunities or abused time for other things. This is such a lovely poem to read and re-read. Thanks for bringing my attention here. Frederick,

[Lisasview]

Oh gosh, is this ever weird... I check my reviews nearly every day and today since I got a very nice review from Marvin I was looking at my little poem and discovered a review from you!!!!! 4 months ago!!!! what the heck... I am as I sayid always the one to respond immediately but yours did not show up until today..Now isn't that so so weird..
So although not my fault I do apologise for my tardy thank you...
Lisa, now in Tarragona, Spain

[Red Brick Keshner]

Happens to the best of us Lisa and your record is unbesmirched! Things get buried in the chaotic activity of the site, without having need of mentioning the need to wade through all the spam. /Freds.

[Lisasview]

Hi Freds,
Glad you got my response..
Luckily for me I get no Spam at all...
Just reread your review...
And, want to say that you are correct...Time is all we have and the trick is to use it wisely. Interesting words you use... "in our times we have either forgone our timely opportunities or abused time for other things."
People do waste time...and, as we get older many of us get much more organised and spend our time more wisely.
Lisa, enjoying spending time reading and reviewing while on a short holiday.

[Lisasview]

I am rereading your wonderful review on my poem TIME...
Lisa

[Red Brick Keshner]

It's such a rich and far reaching subject! Time is!

[Lisasview]

I feel the same way...and, I think about memories quite a bit,
Lisa

[andrew mitchell]

Lovely poem Lisa, nicely formatted.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much Andrew.. This is one of my favourites.
Lisa

[andrew mitchell]

Lovely poem Lisa, nicely formatted.

[Gee]

Another well written piece and given the approval of the venerable Richard, well done you.
I'm not a great fan of having to think and count syllables, for me if it reads okay then to me it is, much easier for me write that way :))

[Lisasview]

The weird thing for me is that many of my poems come out of me already in the correct amount of syllables.Much of the time I do it without thinking..
Hand~In~Hand as it turned out... (Richard told me) was a Sonnet and I already had the first two or three verses in 10 syllable count.. Before he connected with me I had no idea about syllables, Sonnets, etc...
Quite a learning experience for me..
Lisa

[Soren]

A sensuous and romantic poem of passion. Well written and composed. I enjoyed it.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much for your kind review. I loved writing it..
Lisa. now in rainy Spain

[Writergurl]

Wow, such an emotional. moving read here, nicely written and presented.

[Lisasview]

Thank you for reviewing my poem.. I always appreciate such nice reviews..
Lisa
