Love And Tears Poem by Beach Girl

Love And Tears

Rating: 4.9


A breath of a breeze

Tousles my hair

As moss laden trees

Soften sun's glare



Jasmine vines twined

'Round the old wooden post

And upward they climbed

To heaven almost



Heavy with fragrance

As sweet as your heart

I stood in the garden

Till day did depart


The scent caused a sigh

And broken heart fears

The flower's a sign

Of lost Love and Tears

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A perfume I own inspired this poem

You need to write more often. Few have the talent for imagery that you show in poems like this. Though inspired by a scent..it brings to my mind a nostalgic memory of a relatives overgrown garden on the edge of a manicured lawn. It was as much of a contrast as your imagery of love versus lost love

nicely done. good rhyming, or course. i can't decide which of the 1st or 2nd stanza i enjoyed the most; they are both great. i could picture the 'moss laden' trees' softening the 'sun's glare'. maybe i need one of those branches when i'm driving towards the sunrise/sunset; i can hang it from the sun visor. how do you KNOW how sweet my heart is? were YOU 'heavy with fragrance' or was the flowering vine? or both? ? bri :) to MyPoemList.

the scent slowly wipes the sweetness And inhale the charm as sweet as the cool breeze touches the meadows and valleys.

Heavy with fragrance As sweet as your heart I stood in the garden Till day did depart...... lost love and tears. human mind, human heart, its desires, its sense of loss, its craving for love. all these came in your poem. thank you very much. it was a pleasure to read your poem thank you. tony

Watching daylight disappear while standing in the garden, seeing the flowers hiding their faces from the twilight, their scent now gone like love being lost. Nature's sign of loss and tears! Beautiful imagery and rhythm, soulful feelings hiding beneath the imagery, a really great poem! Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn
