A Permanent Embrace
Somewhere, in some deep forest glade
where dappled pools of light did shade
He found her waiting patiently, but oh’
so very naked …………………………………..
And though quite shocked, to find her
thus ..
He knelt to kiss where those blue veins
did form
a perfect cross, in the hollow of her
ankle …………………………………………………
Yes … twas there with gold leaves falling
all around ..
Like snow in sudden winter forming
each a pillow, sheet, a quilt and shroud
That’s precisely
where they lay till morning, undiscovered
still and proud …………………………………….
Until the thaw of spring that is .. and they
were then each
Subsequently found, beneath a swollen
hedgerow somewhere
Locked in their permanent embrace ……..

Locked indeed those errant but happy lovers melded together in frozen embrace -- what a tale with a wintery end but oh such a pleasure to read my dear romantic friend.
Thank you so very bloomin much me lovely .......................................................... and have a super Sunday ...................................................................................................................... Neville 🙂 x
Reads as a tale of forbidden love. A fairy tale of old which still haunts the hedgerow and gives pleasure to all with blossoms and perpetuates the eternity of love with berries of continuence.

Neville,
What a wonderful romantic read! As I read your poem, I felt a certain calmness and warmth within…so serene…so peaceful amid the snow ‘pillow, sheet, a quilt and shroud’.
It felt like a dream that one wishes not to end.
Thank you for sharing…dear friend.

words that overwhelm one just don't come around that often .. so bless you Laura .. it feels like we both got something from "A Permanent Embrace" ..................... 🌻 🙂 x
(He tried to save her from the foggy foggy dew, but there woz a cold snap…)
Great imagery, Nev - felt that cold.
Thank you DD ... The question is tho' .. Was it long enough for ya ........................ N 🙂
It's getting there, Nev, yeh, getting there - caution though has to be observed, otherwise...(too many examples on MPS...)
Did ya notice (great - you didn't) a piece of subliminal advertising somewhere............?
May that embrace be always filled with love Neville.
Andy
