Tracing Shadows. Poem by Fay Slimm

Tracing Shadows.

Rating: 5.0


Everything appears
..................in just it's own time.
Birthed from need. we
.... blossomed for a short while.

Our summer was dappled
......with passion's juices.
We traced with abandonment
................love's fruitage.

Mem'ries now walk my mind,
........................tenuously.
Only to vanish
..........when reason impends.
.
Yet their traces leave
........fragranced afterglow.
I value the love
.......you taught me to show.

This is a wonderfully expressed appreciation of love, Fay, and such a beautifully and enchantingly lovely phrased poem as well. There are few who can even approach your talent and skill for writing romantic poems, and you write them so consistently, it's always a great pleasure to read your work. Carl.
