Beyond The Primrose Hedge ~*Marge Tindal*~ Stepping lightly 'neath the arbor quickly to fences' edge She swiftly disappeared beyond the primrose hedge Deep into the forest entering the little glen Wanting to find her lover the chances were so slim He came to her one year ago when oleander bloomed The love within his heart soon her heart consumed They frolicked among the daffodil the daisies on the green Stood in fragrant meadow touching ever-seem Butterflies fluttered by agile fragile-winged Oh, the dainty meadowlark did melodic sing Captured in the rapture when evening faeries flew Lay they down in buttercup sprinkled with the dew He held her in his arms Enchanted was the night Held her close in warmth of love until the morning light Kissed her softly on the cheek his love he did pledge Walked her to the fence line beyond the primrose hedge Nightly she returned looking for her love Not knowing he had gone to the heavens above For after that evening one year ago the angels called him home Held his face in smiling Never more would he roam Loyalty as her blanket she summons faeries bright Lays among the buttercup each and every night No longer able to bear the sorrow she steps closer to the ledge Falls in arms of angel beyond the primrose hedge Fairytales are made of romance such as this Beyond the primrose hedge one last - lasting kiss *Inspired by Elizabeth Santos' 'If You Should Wander Forth'* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge - terrifically romantic poem - a real tear-jerker - great verses (of course, if it was Toerag she met, he might have just been faking his demise so he could play the field - he is truly a rascal). |

Marge, So beautiful and full of devotion at its best. Sigh....she'll just have to hang on to those memories, then he'll always be there with her. Great writing my friend.

Marge.....Words fail me, this is just fabulous, perhaps the best I have seen of your work to date. It amazes me that you just seem to go one better every time your pen touches paper. Excellent! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

What can I say that hasn't already been said??  You have such a talent and a way with words and images, I do believe I'll pass out from reading your poems 'cause I always just have to let out a big *sigh*! Wonderful work, as always. |
