Tangled Vines

Twilight, stay with me
 in hours between wrong and right;
 when confessions are murmured 
upon this life half done,
 that past mid-life, 
I ask for reprieve to settle 
unsolved desires those which 
enable my fears a choking 
of seasons' absence-

 Northwinds may be cold ,
cruel but now I hold 
eventide's fire with passion unbending

You have impressed me with your language here with this enlightening write my friend! I really enjoyed reading this delightful poem this evening, especially the lines, "...She strides down the lane, to cross a wooden bridge, Until arms of ocean crest below her throbbing feet..." those lines are so beautiful Nette! What an amazing piece, such an incredible poem, Great Work!!

Why do you keep writing such strong poems so quickly?! :) No wonder you start to get restless 3 hours after I post a poem. ;) This piece was absolutely mesmerizing. Ah, the power of memories. Both broken & otherwise...
