\'where solitude lies in sandy lines
gone summer footprints of yours and my\'..
just these lines alone, flooded me
and overwhelmed those painstakingly built dams
to my regrets and bone-achingly, felt - hurts;
you\'ve got teary eyes, thirsting: for a Time
now, long forgotten
for a presence by my side
now - long, since shed
thank you, dear Fay!
for reaffirming that magic of Poetry, into my reality
and allowing me
to break free, my shackles to reminiscing\'s: fears...

Strong write Fay, I have just been helping a friend of mine with this problem with her partner of 25 years, she has managed to get him to leave and she is now free from that cage and is so happy now,

All my life I have been troubled by ones control over another, and doubly so when it is inhumane. Your post succinctly highlights this.

Seen that so many times, and sometimes the he is a she and/or the she is a he. Loyalty and oaths and pledges can be stronger than manacles and chains. Bittersweet observation Fay. You go girl!

\'Brushes which fuse earth and sun\'..
what a captivating and vivid 1st line, dear Fay
a great dedication/tribute
for me, the most striking element of this painting
is how, it deliberately creates a blurry effect
the longer you look at it
and in-doing that, it reflects that furnace presence
of the sun in our lives
highlighting its heatstroke trait, to distort
our notion of reality...
what a visionary artist
I truly feel, the philosophical elements of some paintings
are ignored, too easily

To me van gogh\'s work is all about an expression of passion. Captured in your words today.

Time Versus Love
MendedFences27 said:

Love is either a desert or a garden, never anything in between. The \"ageless young mistress\" of which you speak is imaginary, a dream in the mind of a lover, but the \"frequent undisguised thirst\" surely exists in reality. Love can be eternal if two hearts are in sync. What a beautiful poem for my Sunday respite. Loved it.- Phil A

Sorry Fay, but love (if indeed that\'s what we are talking about) old and comfortable is better.
Love-erly write, though.

Frequent undisguised thirst eh?? I\'ll have a pint of that please.

Time has certainly had a gobble at my passion.... i better find me that ageless young mistress you describe.

Ah Fay – sunset – change captured. Would be invidious to single out any one line as my favorite; the whole package covers it for me.

Laura🌻 said:

My Dear Fay,

A wonderful read that reminded me of how blessed I am to be able to witness…
‘as afterglow merges to mystical beauty of twilight’s creating.’

A delightful ending to your poem.
For three months in a hospital room with a view, what I most looked forward to was that transition between day and night.

Thank you for sharing.

aaaaah, twilight and dusk... the magical times as shadows deepen.
I love that first line, such a relaxed feel of night flowing across the sky. Well I love the whole poem, my fav time of day.
Going into my favs too.
