In Regards To Love

befalling 
against the darkened skies
the last thread of light
flickers then fades
within the silence
forthcoming

fathomless
are these thoughts
stirring about
like hair twirled
in a caress of winds
that leaves me breathless
beneath the rhythmic pulse
of my own heart
racing towards yours

so beautiful this love
that draws me to you
in thoughts of mind
on the wings of dreams
it soars free like birds
over meadows of green

yet memories evade
then fade in the stillness of time
with the remembrance of your death

Thank you for posting this. I feel the elevation-importance conveyed with "befalling" and "meadows of green". And the stark, painful, plain, abrupt death-like end. (I remember scratching my head at this crazy contest that you made look effortless)

Beautifully written Sandy. Your words flow seamlessly till the heart braking lines at the end. Maybe I should have said effortlessly, because your poetry always seems so natural. So much beautiful is always woven into your poems. Best wishes in the contest
