                Lines at Twilight

The last vestiges of light
gleam from the teeth of evening
and dance upon half-hidden pages
dimming now...to the distant strains
of  Mr. Eliot’s ‘Rhapsody on a Windy night’
as sunbeams, spinning in corners,
conjure dream-images to the lonely mind,
(pausing only to tease the hosts of shadows
marshaled for this occasion by the night)
you return once more...in fantasy,
changed a bit perhaps
by the prisms of distance and memory;
Yet, for that fleeting moment,
when you seem so very near
I remember...how I miss you...
in grand surrender to the quintessent
joy of eternal love.

               --- b. e. adams [11/09/2006]

[I just wished to post this as one last tribute to the grand-lovely
'Romanticism' I've seen gracing these fine blue pages of late!]

I love your romanticism, why stop sharing these wonderful poems, or write new ones of the kind? The heart is happy when it can share memories, they will stir new experiences ...

Love,

You are the inspiration to most of those fine writes of romanticism, with your encourgement,
and especially with your beautiful descriptive poetry....

Awww don't let this one be the last...
