Right from the start
when the very first word
fell on the cold surface of the screen
the magical thoughts of romance
had started to sneak
through the darkness of her nights
Teasing
With no any intention to stop soar
above her pillow
Noiselessly
Persistently day by day
Until she finally grasped
She was lost again
Entirely
and within her own bygone fantasy
Silvery shadows appeared on her walls
Obscure and hazy shapes from nowhere
An image of someone
taken from now almost forgotten dream
And he played
He played on some odd yet recognizable strings
creating delightsome sounds
reaching into the deepest corner of her heart
It was forced to beat in a strange different way
Revived
tempted to finally come out from the silent chamber
where it slept veiled in black silk
determined to stay frozen
until the day of departure
That spark of life hit it so gently
Suddenly
Unexpected
As a touch of a lightweight breezy wind
whispering a not-giving-up story
pouring tiny drops of hope into one empty glass
from beginning intended for joy
A melody of romance
melted away the ice cover from her heart
A reflection of happiness glowed
upon the one no longer unreachable horizon
Then new blood roared through the veins
Just in time before a fall
A well-known stranger
Soul mate
One who walked the same path
darkened and gloomy
until some light sparkled through
Just in time
As a final blow against the grief

Such a lovely poem. Your write with such feeling. The line about the ice cover melting from her heart spoke to me. I felt just like that when I met my hubby after being widowed.

My dear friend,
What very deep and moving words. It made me think of the happiness and value of life. The ending was also very beautiful and touching.
This is great. Have you ever written on the topic of Rain?
Thank you Sam. I actually have… My Soft Rain
Isn’t it an amazing thing, when we suddenly become aware we are indeed, alive. This happened to me too, so, I know exactly what you’re saying. Beautiful!
Those trees
entwining their trunks
drinking from common roots
Those gulls
escaping the ocean of dark
flying with each other’s wings
Those pens
filling their book
with tendrils
of entangled letters
