Have I Lost You? Visits that were all the while surreal have quieted, now less for the feel of tendered loving words’ whispered seal and blood-red this wax, less its yield just so, solemn ‘tis this soul of mine lacking luster of fall’s goodly wine less tinkling laughter, glittering times have I lost you, oh love of mine? My hand is no longer fine nor fair for it is slighted of your touch, I swear and I would suffer under some crimson glare yet once again, for your kiss to wear and reaching, oh listening for such time, so vain but yes, to hear you come to whisper me again to breathe your breath, let loose these reins yes, to see you striding down this lane. Spring forfeited light the sound of you would summer see these green eyes anew or taste sweet berries borne wet with dew oh, tell me, love, have I lost you? Like my muse, whose visits are briefly sweet I pray that both of you should meet one for soul’s mind, the other for heart’s beat to kiss a cheek, to embrace in greet, and oh, this moment in mind, still and kind and if I could, fragrant winds would so align that fairies would dance, gypsies give sign and loving arms would gently entwine… Have I lost you, oh love of mine? |

The fairies whispered to me that I should visit here today.. And oh am I ever pleased that I listened. Such a tender ache of a write dear Karilea. ~Listening to the fairies, and smiling at you, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words, |

"or taste sweet berries borne wet with dew oh, tell me, love, have I lost you?" so pretty Karilea reminds me of old love songs like The River in the Pines or Barbara Allen |

Sadly, sweetly, lovely I agree with Lady -- it does remind me of the Barbara Allen style of poetry. Hugs to you Alison |

Sissie...this feels of soul-fulness and an ache from distance that carries with it so much time...words from centuries ago that feed the minute in you now. |

me thinks not..perhaps just a short rest before the moon's light again caresses the grasses and lads follow their lasses... |

"My hand is no longer fine nor fair for it is slighted of your touch, I swear and I would suffer under some crimson glare yet once again, for your kiss to wear" Beautiful words. This is by far your best. JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

And so I return, after two months gone from PiP, to find a poem that brings tears to my eyes, it is so beautiful and kind. Thank you for both, and may your wishes come true. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

The only thing we can lose that is damaging is patience. True love can never be lost....it is one of the few constants in life. Pardon my philosophical rambling...your poem is, as always, exquisite. |
