A Kiss Remembered

Beyond fair reason do I think of you In fallen grass, of gently flowered field To find fleeting memories fade to blue With the warmest thought, I silently yield This memory trembles forever soft In shadowy realms of a face once kissed When whisked to midnight skies of stars aloft With glowing afterglow, love reminisced The shadowed door in candlelight so still An empty chair, a fading silhouette Of time forgot in love's unyielding will When flames to ash will trace the two who met A hand to brush the softest cheek to sooth A kiss remembered, many years removed 12/31/18 contest Beautiful Sadness

I read all three of your poems by the same title "A Kiss Remembered ", Frederic, this one being the one used for the excerpt for "Beyond Fair Reason". The subtle changes Throughout the poems creates a feeling of progression to me as if your poem changes with the changing of your memory. They are all touching and beautiful. This was a great idea for a contest giving us a chance to read older poems that we may have missed.

This poem is just gorgeous Frederic! The nostalgia of what might have been, the longing in the memories is as poignant as if it happened yesterday. That is the way it is in real life. One never forgets, no matter how many years go by. Beautiful! Happy New Year! : ) xxoo
