Lavender Blue Memories of purple and lavender blue Wisteria draping in mist of the dew Fragrance of lilacs swept up by the wind It’s essence still lingering deeply within I still see you standing by lavender blue A soft floral curtain of fragrance that grew And gracefully hung on the age weathered vine Just where you stood as your eyes met with mine I thought you’d become my true soul mate for life I would have treated you well as your wife Why you just left me there, I never knew But you waved as you walked by forget-me-not blue I still can recall the sad look on your face That made you return to a far away place To this day I don't really understand why I just waited for you under blue of the sky I have no letters or pictures to keep Though you are still with me in thoughts soft and deep I remember so well the sweet portrait of you As you stood by beautiful lavender blue Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (01-13-2002 04:46 PM).] |

If I read this silently, I will not cry, but if I whisper it quietly, tears will fall... Printing...framing....keeping.... |

Elizabeth, a sad but oh so beautiful poem. "Lavender Blue" brought tears to my eyes...I guess most of us have experienced this type of loss at least once...if we're fortunate...only once. |

Very lovely, Elizabeth...there used to be a song way back when I was in high school called "Lavender Blue"...I don't recall the words because it was so long ago.....back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Well done!  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Liz--I remember the song Lyla mentioned.."Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green..then you'll be king dilly dilly, and I'll be your queen" A beautiful poem of lost love and the color of sad feelings. Hugs! |
