Burning tears slide sideways while I dream in water colors rewinding an impossible love affair lying in wait deep in the dark abyss of the iris in my eyes. I blink you back if only for a fleeting moment waving at every go round that leaps from the past. Winters were windy and the warmth of your kiss was a welcome shiver. The spring was long stemmed in a field of flowers while making dandelion wishes that blew in the wind. Summers were for low tides and wading in warm pools. The fall was for skipping stones across shallow waters. And always you were there in the throws of my heart breaking. Somehow, by sheer will I rose to the occasion, that our impossible love affair would be the keeper of my dreams a gift to take with me wherever I go into the future past, and beyond. My eyes have since adjusted to the light looking through the shadows banking, high above the fog softly swirling in the evening mist. Like a winter storm collides from all sides; we made it. You were my spring bouquet my cool blue water. Even now, when the summer ruffles my hemline I am lost in your smile still. |

"Summers were for low tides and wading in warm pools. The fall was for skipping stones across shallow waters. And always you were there in the throws of my heart breaking." Beautiful writing, Blue. Just beautiful. |

Dear Bluesy - Fantastic write! Can't quote any lines because they're all so good. Impossible love affairs - I sometimes wonder about their merit but I'm glad you can look back at it now the way you do. For myself I really am trying not to look back at anything - not succeeding but certainly am trying. So good that you're posting again.  Helen |

Imposible love affairs, in their impossible form, are as unshedable as evergreens; they are never tested by the trial of longevity. I'm sure you've struck a few chords here, and you've done it with a tremendous choice of words and poetic ability. |

It is only when we have endured an impossible love affair that a true love affair becomes possible. Do not go gentle into that good night. |

"Like a winter storm collides from all sides; we made it. You were my spring bouquet my cool blue water. Even now, when the summer ruffles my hemline I am lost in your smile still." ...Beautiful. Loved the whole thing, but that part in particular, I am keeping this one, it resonates with my feelings now.
