Proof

Fay Slimm.

 

 

 

Proof.

 

She had eaten
the proof of amour's iridescence,
taken love's juice 
and emptied desire to its deepest dregs.

 

She sweetened by
patience the taste of long distance,
wasted no chance
for contact and savoured hunger's late fill.       

 

She feasted when
first word-laden fervour approached,
imbibed its signs
of ready affection and sipped care slowly.

 

She embraced hope 
of thrilling love-seeded togetherness,
faced thirst's cup and
saw solo wither when need was quenched. 

 

She knew romance 
would bud only if received rightly
             hence she treasures                             
each line of autumnal reasons to smile.

    Wow. Such a sweet poem Fay. I felt each word glide across my mind. I love this romantic initiation!

    • Fay Slimm.

      So pleased you enjoyed the read of Proof dear poet friend - - that is how love finds some in these days of technology's virtuosity. Thanks so much for your lovely comment.

      There is so much woven in here. The reality of love and romance being a lot more complex than the usual lightened poetic version of love leads me to think that this piece reflects an actual romance or chance of romance. That thought brings a delightful smile to my face for it is springtime and the world is coming alive with 'the birds and the bees' and the blossoming of everything on and beneath the trees.
      Wishing you a very enjoyable spring dear friend.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Glad the read raised a smile dear Dusky - and you could be near the crux of experienced happenings by suggesting reality - well may be - - - wishing a great spring forward for you too as the new leaves unfold.
