IF.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

IF.

 

If lovers co-mingle whom Heaven has breached,
if echoes of ardour pierce final silence,
when I wait in this void where stars collided
his dear voice will I hear.

 

If feelings now formless mold shape from ether,
if other-world ghosts can inhabit substance,
when I kneel to plead for more solid assurance
his soft touch will I feel.

 

If spirits escape from grave's non-breathing air,
if souls need past bliss and gone-times revisit 
when I lie in dreams of long honeyed kisses
he will come to me there.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Many thanks Orchi for your visit to read my few lines on "IF "

      • orchidee

        'If' I stopped singing - probably for ever - would it make the world a better place?! heehee.

      • Alan .S. Jeeves

        Another excellent composition Fay. This is how it should be done.
        Hopefully you will allow me to re-route it into my Fayves so that it is easy to recall when all is quiet with me and it's time for nice things.

        Ex animo, Alan

        • Fay Slimm.

          My honour and pleasure dear Alan is to find this romantic verse among your faves. ( Ha - and I love the word you use of Fayves) - - thanking you muchly.

          This is quite beautiful Fay. You have found words to describe the intangible lingering romance within the heart which lives on.

          You show your mastery here.

          • Fay Slimm.

            Grateful thanks for your comment D.A. and am glad you picked up the essence of longing which lives on after the passing of one dearly loved.

          • Heather T

            You've broken my heart with this beauty and haven't wasted a single syllable. I'm always amazed at the way you wring the language for everything it's worth.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Hi Heather and a very big thank you for this generous comment on "IF " - - feelings are so overwhelming with loss of a much loved partner and that I tried to portray in the poem.

              Beautiful write Fay, may he come to you in dreams and reality.

              • Fay Slimm.
