April's Reminiscence

Loyal a whisper intrudes the day When hope does wither like a dying rose Yet love would grace my heart to sway Into a nectar'd dream of soft repose. Where your slender hands like lilies Would storm my face to pluck the tears And your kiss like the Zephyr breeze In blackest night disarms the fears. A whispering memory of your love It springs sweet my morning hours Like pleasant birds and scented flowers That may lip my heart to prove. That your precious love still lingers deep When all is lost and hope expires And solitude are the spoils of my keep Your budding love and light aspires. My soul to leap and touch the stars To kiss the moon and hold the sun To tread the course and endless bars Of divinity and beyond. Tho' you're far away into a sleeping land Where the smiling rose may bud no more Where the breathing sun may fail to rise Or the tender doves to soar. A glorious scene my heart remains For God's pulsing blisses soft Would crown my days and life redeem From stagnant hope and loss In love's momentous dream!

Mustapha, Hi. This is a rich and skillfully composed work of art. It is wonderfully descriptive and powerfully imagistic; great use of style and device. Drop by sometime. Peace and blessings, Mel :)
