Once laughter echoed in our lives,
now frozen in memories of yore,
when you swayed with the breeze,
while kisses lingered in the air.
now frozen in memories of yore,
when you swayed with the breeze,
while kisses lingered in the air.
Oh I was no dancer dear,
on your feet, I would step often,
yet, you let me take your hand,
and swirl you to sweet songs olden.
yet, you let me take your hand,
and swirl you to sweet songs olden.
Into pieces, though my heart breaks,
looking at your forlorn eyes,
not a glimmer of recognition,
or hint of your electric smile.
not a glimmer of recognition,
or hint of your electric smile.
But my darling I’ll hold you tight,
and remind you of those moments far,
how I swirled you to songs olden,
when laughter echoed in our lives.
how I swirled you to songs olden,
when laughter echoed in our lives.
I am extremely thankful to Magpie Tales for the picture prompts, because that’s what keeping this blog running 🙂 They are my muse 🙂
It was really good one
Last verse just takes your breath away. Beautiful.
Lovely…
Lovely verse! 🙂
Enjoyed reading it 🙂
what a lovely poem- a man caring for his beloved through sickness and good health.
How well you write of such a cruel illness. The pain felt when a loved one no longer recognizes is the worst thing in the world but the memories have to be treasured.
The inner dancers married to the outer ….excellent
Beautiful Rajlakshmi !
The notebook is such a good movie… And this is a good poem
exceptionally fun verse.
sweet
Lovely! I could see it all play out in my mind.
This is so achingly beautiful. I think of an older couple where he cares for his wife who has dementia. It is sweet and sad
That was just beautiful rajlakshmi. You should write more often.
