She strolled through the park with her parasol remembering the moonlit nights she remembered a special man a memory of a young woman in love thoughts of him made her feel beautiful the man whom she never forgot the man who had engraved their initials in the tulip tree in the park The thought of him made her feel young again a whisper serenaded her soul she could still hear his whispers in graceful branches of tulip dreams She walked alone in their secret place in the park of four lobed leaves there is where she felt close to him her eyes tracing initials upon the memoirs of old red bark a sentiment of young love carved once in young bark of gray The tulip tree grew taller grandeur each year savoring their forbidden love Her long hair once strawberry blonde now long but sugar cane white showered by sunlit flowers sharing liveliness of springtime the springtime of their first kiss Love in the nakedness of Winter overlooking footprints in the snow walking towardly and away the tulip tree of memories aglow The breath of her heartfelt kiss upon her fingertips like a butterfly upon a cloud airy branches lift and kissed beneath the marvel of the tree the prism of her tears frame initials permanently Her frail hands held the parasol standing on her tip toes her arms stretching above in the autumn of her reminisce touching the initials with her parasol remembering his sweet kiss Golden-orange flowers a pirouette ballet tip toeing through the air never to dwindle away Soft rays of sunlight touch the midsummer of yesteryear warming their love within the grandeur of tulip tears A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 01-20-2001).] |

'She walked alone in their secret place in the park of four lobed leaves there is where she felt close to him her eyes tracing initials upon the memoirs of old red bark a sentiment of young love carved once in young bark of gray' Sad, but beautiful write, Victoria! Great work! sp  I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Wow, that was a beautiful tale. I hope one day I will be able to look back and see such love in my past as the character did... ~The hardest thing is watching the one you love... love someone else.~ |
