Memories of Love Whatever glow has radiated from the joy of love Now casts an iridescence from the starry realm above Eternally love’s memories are streaming from the sky Reflecting crystal images of pleasure in my eye Where love has left the fragrance of it’s sweetness in the air There still remains the essence of your scent abiding there It is in every breath of life, in every earthly space In gardens of sweet reminisce, and heart’s most cherished place What melodies were strung from passion in it’s pure delight Are resonating from the harps of angels of the night In twilight of my memory, the euphony is played Serenading me with lullaby until the break of day The joy of love still draws a radiant flush upon my face As I consume the fragrance that was once in my embrace The midnight songs still blanket me with warmth and loving peace And starry skies reflect in tears of love that never cease |

Wow very nice love poem here. Wonderfully put!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Fascinating. The imagery here is wonderful. I like your vocabulary too. All around, this is a great poem. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -- Magus |

I found this particularly comforting. It's lovely, as your work always is, but this I needed to hear this morning. Thank you, Liz. |

Marvelous! Would this be called "Iambic Septameter?" I've never seen it before this... it works wonderfully! Well done! ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

Liz, this is a magnificant piece! As Allan said, you use of the iambic feet just made the flow perfect. The imagery and emotions, however, are what makes this poem great. One for my library! Thanks for sharing. "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |

Liz, it's always good to have those. . . This is beautiful. . . and why shouldn't it be? It comes from a beautiful heart. . .  -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
