IF

Fay Slimm.

 

 

IF.

 

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

 

If hearts now formless mold bodies from ether,
if in other worlds ghosts create substance,
when I kneel to plead for more solid assurance
his soft touch will I feel.

 

If spirits escape from restrictions of air,
if souls can revisit scenes of past bliss,
when I walk in dreams of remembered kisses
he will be with me there.

    Good write Fay.
    My version is:
    If I would stop singing
    All would be well
    99% of the world's troubles would be over!
    Heehee.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Good to have you visit and comment dear Orchi. - -thanking you for the read of IF.

      A true reminiscence, with absolutely no distractions, can indeed be a very special moving intimate experience.

      But stepping outside from such things as we can experience, such as reminiscence, we enter into the realms of faith, belief and hope. Both faith and belief can give us reassurance.

      Your words tell a longing story of deep love sorely missed and an ache to recapture.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Yes indeed my friend - losing a loved one can call for such dreamings of contact and feelings of being visited by those now departed......... so pleased you enjoyed my take on these things.

      • L. B. Mek

        a truly moving dedication Fay, you have some heart-wrenchingly tender voiced works, in your endlessly wonderous cannon

                Those restrictions will disappear one day and he will be there with you as I will be with my Joyce.

                Fantastic Fay, finely crafted with all the things I love to find in a poem.
                Wish I could have written this line ".if in other worlds ghosts create substance,..." hauntingly beautiful
                Thanks!
