Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

A Kiss Remembered

Beyond fair reason, I shall think of you
in fallen grass or bloomed and flowered field
to see moments so fleeting fade to blue
with distant thoughts I quietly yield
this memory trembles forever soft
in mists and visions of a face I've kissed
when whisked to midnight moon and stars aloft
the sheltered afterglow I reminisce
the shadowed door in candlelight so still
an empty chair, a fading silhouette
the heart will not forget, the last breath will
when flame to ash can trace two who met
  a hand that came to brush a cheek confessed
  a kiss remembered when lovers caressed

Hiya Sharma October 1, 2026 at 10:20 PM Sigh, the remembrance and the memories, this one tugged at my heartstrings, dear Frederic..! Such deep emotions you've poured here and the tenderness as well as the vulnerability, made my soul feel the very ache that you've expressed.. the woes of time and love.. "the heart will not forget, the last breath will when flame to ash can trace two who met" Those lines.. my favourite absolutely.. truly a poignant write , you do have a golden quill ~ keep writinnn n shininnn, a FAVE this is 🍁🍂💫
