Listening to every heart

Words in Time

In a book, between loosed leaves
Fountain pen inked, lay a leaf
A bit of parchment, and upon first blush
Left me in a state of hush

Amid press of lilac spray
Pretty words wrapped in bouquet
A soft light scent from long past days
Harboring sadness among the gay

Written words for one heart’s swell
Words of promise that once compelled
One’s heart to heart, a pledge long kept
Words so pure, I quietly wept

~*~*~*~*~*~

Render me unto thy heart of sighs
Tend to me, but speak me no lies
Come with vision of night’s bequest
To seek but one that loves you best

Serenade me one more time
With this your heart which now is mine
Intrude into my innermost thought
With this, your love, for which I’ve sought

Tighten your hold, grasp for dear reason
This love that shall enhance all seasons
This love to linger ‘neath fingertips
This love that’s sweet upon your lips

This love that crosses timeless air
And stays as your “forever”…there…


~*~*~*~*~*~

And a date thereon inscribed
Written back in ’eighty-five
Was it man’s hand, or woman’s script
The parchment trembled in my grip

The last lines gave me pause to stare
From one to another, this undying care

This love that crosses timeless air
And stays as your “forever”…there…

Sunshine,this was so beautful that I almost cried. All I could think about was about a couple from the 1800`s.

Wonderfully romantic!!

Makes me think of my favorite Christoper Reeve movie...Somewhere in Time  

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

*sigh* I love it.....somehow it was like love was transported through time to the present. The ink of your pen giving it birth from the past. Absolutely magical. **hug**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

A love that lasts through all eternity.
Beautiful write Karilea...I really enjoyed this.  
And, like VAS, it reminded me of my favourite movie Somewhere In Time also.
Good write!  ~Hugs, Nancy~
