Spellbound

Fay Slimm.

 

Spellbound.

 

Deep in grave corners of time

untravelled

chained chords joust as desire

once again grabs

to re-count former memories

when bold passions

spent under disenrobed velvet 

were meant to last

and envelop long-life forever

with taught dances

not before tried that express

how love matters

to she whose past is precious.

Grief's felt blackness

tho' now dense will by trying 

lift and contact 

his phantom presence to fly

spellbound at last.

    'with taught dances
    not before tried that express
    how love matters
    to she whose past is precious.
    Grief's felt blackness'..
    (what a love
    you two, must have shared
    dear Fay
    for it to withstand, that gravely distance
    and have it still
    appear by your side, so tangible
    and evergreen!)
    'I too
    mourn a love, so prominent
    in each pulsing
    of life, that I endure - till that day
    arrives
    where effervescent fingertips, that soothe
    my yearning's, aches
    feel as real, as these words I type
    and imbue
    with all my hope's, for that - something
    more meaningful, to this
    our ephemeral, experience of existence'

      Oh how I agree Mek -- - we who have loved and lost need hope to cling onto so we can feel the unseen as tangibly evergreen. So grateful for your heartfelt comments.
