Forever So Long

Forever so long





As warmth shows on rosy cheeks
and heart beats in rhyme,
Springs bloom in autumn 
the nature teaches mime,

Red running in veins deepens 
as fierce longings burn,
Etched abysmal in souls
memories treasured in time return.

For contest "Famous last line" by Laura loo
Last line chosen from poem below...

Entwined


In pure love entwined
the knittings of a mother,
Through icy cold winds
embrace child's subtle being,
As warmth shows on rosy cheeks.
