Twilight Love

Long ago at twilight we pledged our sweet
love amid trees stretching stark and bare
Yet at our rendezvous the very next night
I was alone in my despair
Now in the sunset of my days, again
In the pastoral Eden I stand with you
In a bliss beyond love, our souls
coalesce as we begin our lives anew

Had to come down here because several of your poems above this one I simply don't agree with. I love this romantic one.

As Van Gogh might say it's just an impression, we all have our views. Thank you, Andrea. I generally have my romantic leanings as well. Robert

Love your take on Van Gogh's painting Robert. You compliment the painting with your clever and thoughtful words. If I was a clairvoyant I would bet Van Gogh is enjoying a glass of wine admiring your Poetic response to his painting. Just a thought. This one is a favorite my friend...

Thank you for your generous compliment and fave, I don't know if Van Gogh is toasting me with a drink, but I hope he has peace of mind and is feeling better. My best, Robert

The couple in the depths of the woodlands is mysterious and very romantic as well. I find this simplification of Van Gogh's complex art piece, a peaceful love. Beautiful!

Depths of feeling and communication weather sad or joyful are always cathartics and healing. Thank you for your apt response, Robert
