The First Bright-Sting of Love Beyond the ever-pressing, heartless world and deep-surging music of the storm, when a warm wind murmurs secrets to the setting sun (within a fine-wooded dream) of sunbeams and tree-shadows dancing (in the lucent-light dripping from rainbows) to merge with the forest’s velvety dusk and the immense, painful silence that falls… (filled with impetuous uncertainties and vague, attenuating fears) one recalls… the first bright-sting of Love and the delicious, diffused melancholy of all that we shall never reclaim nor truly ‘understand’! ~ |

Bruce, with so many exquisite images and fine phrases, it is difficult to highlight a favorite! But I am leaning towards warm murmuring winds, and those impetuous uncertainties! BRAVO! |

Secondhanddreampoet, This is well written, and all that. However, I can't quite come to grips with love stinging. I used to keep bees when I lived in the country, and got stung a lot. I never thought the bees were just showing me affection. Bobby |

Oh yes...love surely stings and some never recover from its bite but others learn to realish the pain with the wonder and awe that is love. Another fine write from your pen  Ruth |

To all the wonderful 'P.I.P.-land' poets and readers who commented on this 'write'...thank you so much! [this one was rather 'special' to me!] |

one recalls… the first bright-sting of Love and the delicious, diffused melancholy of all that we shall never reclaim nor truly ‘understand’! And though we might not understand... there's magic in the recall... just as there is in those days of falling. *S* And so many times... it's that magic that gets us through the mundane. *S* But, oh... that first realization! *S* Beautiful work!! |
