Οn Excitment's Fervour - Poem by dimitrios galanis
At an autumn's cold evening
as the wave was popping into shore
I got the impression it was sweeping away
the leaves of memory's tissues
where in summer we had written
love promises οn excitment's fervour.

The initial frenzy of love slowly waning with the passage of time...how wonderfully you have put it. Using the Nature imagery, you have described your feelings in a great way. A wave sweeping away the leaves of memory...loved this image. Great work. (Report) Reply
Beautiful and romantic! Waves may sweep the fervor and excitement of love but memory of it keeps coming back to touch the shore for what was once there, till we realize that even the memory of it is chipped away with time. (Report) Reply
Memories pushed back into oblivion sometimes is a whole hoard ''At lucky to grasp''.Do, please, read this exactly one to see how much attention do we elders must pay to those memories.Thank you for the kindness to comment it.
Love sometimes only has a season, a time and place where two hearts unite, the Autumn chill is a reminder of what could have been!

Hazel, if you have not, do please read the ''At lucky to grasp''
Thank you, dear Hazel.Climate and seasons play, indeed, a great role in feelings.That is what i wanted to show.
The cooling of love, even the passing of love in just two seasons: there may be another way of loving which will prevail but I will stay with your drama of a fervor and excitement which burns itself out on the surface but there are still inner transformations to consider. Self-knowledge is one. Shared sympathy is another. Anais Nin wrote aboutthis. She said sex was a key to intimacy on a spiritual plane and that rapport lasted, and was liberating. (Report) Reply
I do feel the temptation to agree with Anais Nin.You see it's only us, humans, who can lay down a spiritual plane besides the key of sex.Our civilized invented by us world.
Waves come and sweep away all that the lovers wrote on the sea strand in the height of their love! Great lines! (Report) Reply
