A Love Never Forgotten

"My soul and your soul are forever tangled" (N.R. Hart)

How can I forget that springtime day,
When we skirted the open meadow,
Light of step and hands ardently clasped
As the swollen branches overhead,
Threshed uneasily in the rising wind?
How we joyously laughed when a spray
Of lilac blossom, like scented rain of falling flowers
Descended carelessly on your auburn head,
How playfully you shook your hair
Loosening the blossoms from gold-brown tresses
Laughing and running in the brisk breeze,
And sprinkling the footway with a lilac turf.

Memories like this one dear Victor live on forever and I'm sure you have thousands more. True love is what you and your wife had as do I and my dear dear husband Elias. We. Talk of our 1st and 2nd Romantic encounters. The first should have led to marriage but we were young and stupid, but we were not going to let the 2nd one escape. Hugs Jennifer.

Lovely light & lilac depiction of Love not forgotten, Victor. Your keen romantic eye shines through with your use of colour & nature’s beauty. I enjoyed these lines : “ As the swollen branches overhead, Threshed uneasily in the rising wind?” which parallels the nature of Love at its peak, before Nature does the pruning. Best for contest. Have a blessed week.
