Once.
We once heard
a Springful of larks
high on a hill's shoulder,
brimming with whistles
of heart-felt performance
those minstrel marvels
but where went their song ?
We once saw
love's light beckon
on the same clifftop singing
together in covert pleasure
of first- time surrender,
sated and settled
but where went our song ?

Beautiful words , Fay 🙂
Grateful thanks Rose - the words seemed to write themselves today.
.. very occasionally, I run out of, or can not find the right words to express the way in which certain collections of words make me feel .. 'Once' is a good example and I shall say only this once ..
'Amazingly awesome' ... anything else would swiftly become but a cliché ... x
You are ever so kind to my word collections mon dear ami and although always welcome all I can say with a big blush here is a slightly pink - - almost speechless - - Merci. - More than glad you enjoyed this read...........x
A fine write, Fay.
Eloquently expressed. Love is often best understood as memory.
How right you are Jerry - -love is best looked at with rose-tinted specs methinks.
The song is still there since once it existed it can be sung again
Once again let's sing together the songs that united our hearts. Fay, this is a beautiful poem.
How artistic your perceptive comment on the song of love my friend. So pleased you enjoyed the read of Once.
You bet!
Another good one Fay.
Thank you Trenz for calling in for a read and for leaving your comment .too. So pleased you enjoyed the poem.
it’s there, carried by your everlasting words
Thanks Suresh for your reminder that love never dies when words weave it into forever.
Our song is still there in our memories Fay.
Andy
Yes Andy the song of love never ends really. Thanking you sincerely for your read and comment.
what a magnificently tumultuous storm
love brings into our lives
even, through the loneliness of distance..
such a striking picture, dear Fay
thank you for sharing it with us
and your wonderful take on it
(at least, for us fortunate few
there was: a 'Once'
we can be thankful for that)
My pleasure as always L.B. is catching the reader's attention with picture and words - so pleased you liked my choice of both. Thank you for stopping by my page.
