The Encounter

Do you summon back
Just how it was…
Slipping into arms
That had been waiting a lifetime…

Love words lost in lips
That locked…

Then moving as one to
A small room of preordained,
Waiting for us in this once of life
Meeting,
Blushing from the intent looks of
Invisible ghostly eyes
Sitting in chairs
There, in that small anteroom of lecture…

Our hearts inculcated us that day…
Singing spring then melting May
Into summer song…

For then we knew…
As we know…
All things possible, come,
As we summon back
Just how it was…
Slipping into arms
That had been waiting a lifetime…

~*~

When love trembles
You don’t mind the shudder….

This is absolutely lovely in flavor and feel. I have to admit, though, that I am a bit confused over these lines. Can you help me out?

Then moving as one to
                        A small room of preordained,
                        Waiting for us in this once of life
                        Meeting,

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

We might summon back the way it was... as long as we step toward the future, yes??  Lovely words, Lady...

(smiles) I love this, dearest friend, this made me smile as so many of your gorgeous words do! (kiss on cheek) I think one has to feel the spark to feel the love, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I, as everyone else, really enjoyed this poem.  It just really took me away and made me think of an encounter like that one.  Really nice and great work.

Oh goodness, Lady, this is so beautiful...
all of it. But this really spoke to me...

"Slipping into arms
That had been waiting a lifetime..."

And.....

"When love trembles
You don't mind the shudder"


I definitely relate  now  to these lines.  

Heart Hugs,

Ah Lady..you have not graced these pages for some time..
You have been deeply missed.
...and this...
"When love trembles
You don’t mind the shudder…"


This...sums it all up..wonderful write.
Please don't stay away so long.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

'For then we knew…

Quite timely, now you've got me pondering!!!
