Posie Petals The remnants left of posy red Once pressed between a page Now shriveled down to petal dust Recalls another age A posy dead, yet rosy red Still dwells within the eye That we may draw it’s beauty from A memory by and by What joy remains from laughter’s tune Immersed in tender tears? Melodic lilts of pleasure hymns Forgotten through the years A treasure box of reminisce That opens now and then As chiming echoes of the past Come forth from deep within What now endures of love that’s lost, But tastes of bittersweet? The sorrow of a starless night Clings on, as memories creep More vibrant though, the pulsing bliss That lulls within the vein And gushes forth when music strikes A chord of bitter pain The dreams still drenched in posy flush Of lovers’ ruby days And laughter churned by simple joys We grabbed along the way Are sweet remains of love that’s gone Still rustling in the breeze The lasting strains of passion notes Among the willow trees And posy petals crushed within The mellowed paper leaves Elizabeth Santos - 6/8/00 |

Dear Liz: Wonderful poem of nostalgic romantic memories. Beautifully written, as usual. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |

My friend~ You sent me to the cedar chest - rummaging for the special book that held the special flower ... all you said is true ... and I sat in sweet and misty-eyed reminisce. Thank you, Elizabeth. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Lisa.. this poems grabbed my heart completely, it's such as a nice to describe a female's feeling for love. By the way, also liked the rhyming at the end of each alternate verse.. ;-)..it deserves a vote!! - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
