Vanilla Breeze There's no fear in this moment of a lonely soul wanting to go back Very little light creeps through the large space she's left open for just him The gentle night was calling so loudly for his strong pair of hands And, so easily she allowed the darkness to pull him a little closer in... Resting upon the glass top laid a symbol of pure peace in the room And, she watched the shadows of the objects nearby dancing on the wall To the rhythm of the air filled darkness the flames moved differently each time That vanilla scented candle left no hesitation to the only good she could recall... Silently there before it she took the long way home to his face Being sure she wouldn't miss a single memory stored for safe keeping inside She noticed there in the dark not a soul remained within reach For loneliness just paved her path even more plainly to her unheard cry... But, she feared not that the only one who listens with all his heart Could hear her even though the miles had a distance all their own For somehow that vanilla breeze was going to make the night less sad And, his memory was going to replace the pouring rain she had always known... She just sat there in the state of mellow with every breath she took Like a porcelain doll she stayed flawless in her memories eye Cause in the mind you can make a moment any way you create it to be So, she just watched the two of them soar beneath the midnight sky... Her last memory of together was just before their time was up It seemed to stand as brightly as the flame burning still Pleasantly she closed her eyes because she so remembered his eyes It was the first time any breeze had ever brought along a chill... She viewed her feelings as when looking in through a mosaic window One would find the distortion of things placed there in the way No real way to explain how her heart now can fly higher then ever So, she just sat in the mist of the vanilla breeze without the words to say... If she has to love she will do it silently and especially at night She'll do it gracefully when it's just her and that candle and no soul in sight She's sure there will be more loneliness she'll take with her to her knees But, she'll always have those memories that linger within that vanilla breeze...

Saunni - Wow - Whatta poem! The form shook me a little at first, so I went back and read it at a different pace and everything fell into place. The story is very haunting, and sad. I like the way you developed the theme, and especially like the shift in format in the last verse to conclude the story. I can tell you worked hard on this poem, and I sincerely hope others read it, too. Great work, Saunni. BTW - Your picture is smashing, too.

She'll do it gracefully when it's just her and that candle and no soul in sight" my favorite line but really the entire poem moved me greatly. I see such a rich expression in your words and I love reading them. Thank you for this! I am/Kathleen/ |

 (smiles) Oh Saunni, this is soooooo hauntingly beautiful, sweet friend, your words always create an atmosphere that brings us into the world of others and sees their memories and dreams shine! (sigh) May her memories always live on, just as hope forever shines in her soul! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Absolutely beautiful....and so is the poem!  Amazing how much comfort we can find in our mind and memories or fantasies....often they are even better than the real thing! You paint a beautiful picture, miss |
