O fill the desert in my heart
With words of tenderness -

My soul to soft caress

I've just read this beautiful poem. It's a sad saga of long lost youth, reflective of the love involved with it: 'As time weighs heavy on my mind The fleeting years sustain - Fond memories of youth long lost And true love still remain' Really wonderful!
Val What a romantic piece of poetry, Love is what love is all about thanks for sharing
That was absoulutly marvelous. My favorite line: Climbing `long the rugged paths Of life`s deceiving way Seeking for a sweeter land Where yet to dance and play Thank you so much fpr sharing
Our life seems to fly away with the birds of the night But things always look better with the morning light
A fine reflection on inevitable decline with hopes or some where else to trick and appease the mind.
Another beautiful poem Val... I admire the way you write and always enjoy reading your poems. Thanks.
Ah, the words, wisdom and sentiments put down by a true poet. Clad to have discovered you here. Great write.
Beautiful and poignant and evocative with a lovely cadence and rhythm 10/10 Thanks for sharing
Sadly reflective but such harmonious visuals... melancholy delight tyvm karen
Gutsy poem about aging, written in your melodic style with melancholy dripping from every word. Finality its ending, fall into nothingness. Strong imagery. Well written. Now being a dead pirate I can get away with some liberties. At 400 plus years I don't dare look in the mirror. From your writing I would say you are still in your prime. Primed and ready, now put on your pirate suit and lets go sailing!
Nostalgic. A piece that reveals the natural process of life through all of its waxing and waning. A piece that touches deeply, and warms the heart. Thank you.
You have some wonderful lines: My favourite verse Time weighs heavy on my mind The passsing years sustain - Mem`ries of a youth long lost And true love yet remain
Beautiful Val, I agree with Juan without a doubt, you have a wonderful way with words.
Gazing in the mirror where The phantoms of my youth Flicker as reflections there As visions of the truth Years have passed and blown away My dreams and hopefulness - I now, as in maturity, (The balance to redress) ..... ..... Fall, into nothingness unbeatable content of digest..........kudos! !
so absolutely beautiful. val you never cease to amaze me with your words, you are by far the best poet on this and any other site. God bless.
An amazing work of art. Well worded my friend!
