'But the memories of her remain locked in my heart. Her scent - her touch - her softness - her voice Her hair - her eyes - her lips - her special kissing' Rachel Ann Butler
Your way in writing this is so lovely. This poem is a well penned love poem. I love the V telling 'bout the memory of the oak tree in 1948, a very long flashback, so nice. I score this ten.
This is simply LOVELY, I love the picture that it inspires of young love in a different time, I sometimes wish that life was more like those times now, where everybody knew everyone and the children could roam safely :) such a beautiful time :) ...beautiful young love grown into a glorious oak...simply beautiful John...10
What a cool story you've memorialized (again) with a poem. The things of youth are always so much larger, mysterious and haunting, somehow. Thanks for the sweet descriptions abounding in here..(smile)
My poet knight, your poem makes me look back of my young love with a smile. Like your Collette, I never have never forgotten him but life has to go on, and i now have my own family as he has his own. Great piece my poet knight. Your poems always touch the heart of your readers. This is a real great gift. Thanks for sharing it with us.
