douglas Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Stretched out in a garden thinking of youThe long ridge of the mountain floating in blueLanguid thoughts falling gently out of my headLike the cherry blossom petalsLanding softly on my chestA chevron of birds slicing through the skyFragments of storiesAs people pass byMemories of golden eveningsCandles and champagneTime spent togetherThat we’ll never share againThe arrow through my heartCame in swift and sleekThe arrow through my heartEntered fast and deepAnd just for this momentI’m left languishing in its painBut soon I’ll stand and walkAnd find my stride again Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

Benjamin Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The pain of love and recuperative powers of the human spirit make a potent theme. I liked that dramatic line: "A chevron of birds slicing through the sky." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinker Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Douglas, Classical heartbreak I could hear the pain already on the mend. I too was especially struck by the image of a chevron of birds... Nice.

dcmarti1 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 "But soon....." How apt, and how often. Great imagery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
