May Lilacs Linger Everlastingly

May lilacs linger everlastingly in dreams he dreams of me. Whenever he, by chance, is in a pitch black room alone, may he recall the scent of my cologne. As long as I can write sweet poetry, may lilacs linger everlastingly. May he recall our love song slowly playing; how we danced, pressed together, swaying. And may he still remember my warm breath against his cheek. Beyond his very death, may lilacs linger everlastingly the same way he stays in my memory. Oh, may he not forget - when shadows fall - our kisses in the dark. We had it all! My darling man, may he remember me. May lilacs linger everlastingly written Dec. 31, 2015 Now For the For the Best Love Poem #4 Poetry Contest of PD

Andrea, as delicate as a lilac bloom! Congratulations on your top win! With our crazy weather my lilac - a white lilac - has started to bloom. I love this flower - a harbinger of spring.

Perhaps the song being played was "If" by Bread? Wonderful qautern played out to a lovely slow dance and the eternally sweet scent of lilacs. Beautiful poetry. Congrats on your #1! ~ John

Hi sweetie! You sure made this flow effortlessly-- you worked that line wonderfully (plus I liked the alliteration), and what I liked about it is how for me, it didn't come across as being redundant and forced/out of place, despite the repetition-- sorry can't explain properly, but I hope you know what I mean...this I think can be the danger of repetition, but for you --nope, of course this was a breeze! Sorry I owe you big time (I keep saying that!) sending you hugs!!
