A LOVE-LIFE in dVerse Pub

Every Tuesday is Open Link Night at dVerse Poets Pub
TUESDAY @ 3 PM Eastern doors open for OLN week #115



A LOVE-LIFE

before, during, after fame
does not love-its flame
continue the burning
 never adjourning?
  
once

loved by an artist who
travels every place
the world over,
dancing on her toe

now

oh! I miss her face
God, I miss her so...
not secret our love,
neither was for show

remember

two beautiful trees
grew side-by-side
roots entangled
but never tied

and so

we met--before fame.
even during, next,
shall not the flame
continue its burn?
truest of loves
have no adjourn...

now this

we shall meet, and greet
on street or shore...
"Merely this, and
nothing more."

  7. Steve, I was so very touched by the truly kind words you left last night on my poems.
    You actually brought a 'few tears' but good tears.
    I had to come by and thank you, thank you so much, kind sir!

    Peace and joy be with you, always!

  12. I like the imagery of this:

    two beautiful trees
    grew side-by-side
    roots entangled
    but never tied

    Have a good week Steve ~

  15. Trees, root entangled,
    looking up, they are far apart
    at the top
    the older they are the further away

    We are trees.

    1. At top, they are thin (like us!), thus SEEM farther apart.
      Roots become more and more entwined, until
      barely there is any difference. One seemingly
      grows into other...We are trees. Roots are the soul.
