Harmony

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” ~ William Wordsworth What a peaceful sense of harmony I would feel if the greatest moments in my dreams were real. Those tender times together when we made love are the thoughts I care about being reminiscent of. I wake as dawn's luminance gently touches my face and find I'm all alone. Of him, there's not a trace. Again, I am conflicted, and my eyes seek in askance, Am I to live in discontent without another romance? I write of love to assuage the sorrow in my heart but my pen and ink create tearstained works of art. I've many pages of Sonnets written in lyrical rhyme, Intimate lines of us when life was a melodic time. One day love may find me again, outside of a dream. A man whose eyes look at me and set mine agleam. Whose touch makes me shiver, taking my breath away. There will be harmony between us, we'll lovingly convey.

Whenever I click on another Souper's page I immediately search for the rhymes to read first. It's what I do. :) There's no doubt you are the author of this poem Lin; your style and themes jump out straightaway at me and shout: "These are Lin Lane's lines!" All in a good way of course. I think this poem is up there with your best. Cheers - Gary

I've lost love twice but found it again. There's a plan, Lin. If you haven't already, search and you will find it, although sometimes it appears when least expecting. A thought-provoking note that many can relate to. Congratulations on your top win. Love & hugs Charlie
