Violets slightly misted With an angel's sigh Smeared across emerald lands Within my imagination The jewels of my past Sparkle in azure pools I gaze upon a vision Of you, my love Dancing within the blue My finger traces Lingering above your face Then plunging Into the cool dews Your image shimmers Then fades silently The crystal droplets Once held you Now only hold my sorrow Bitter tears Clinging to my memories As I turn away Knowing never again Will I touch you Only will I chase The moistened droplets Of your soul And forever only know you As a tiny wave In my pool of remembrance ------------------ My tears are but a glimpse into the fiery tempest of my soul.~© Althea Willow, 1999~ |

Mystic ... this is beautiful. The imagery wrapped in these lines is as clear as the 'pool of remembrance': 'Knowing never again Will I touch you Only will I chase The moistened droplets Of your soul' Absolutely beautiful. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

If I could write free verse, I would wish for it to be half as good as this. |
