meet me there
beyond the shadows
where the purple dogwood grows
that I might look
into the eyes
that once adored me so
meet me there
so I might be
remembered to your kiss
a hand within
your gentle hand
a bliss beyond your bliss
would I be less
for wanting more
than the memory
of your sigh
ears attuned to music
each haunting lullaby
of far away
yet near enough
as sacred truth restored
beyond the gate
where blossoms burst
in loving hues once more
returning as tomorrow
there begins eternity
another day
remains of love
when you have come
for me
across the way
just down the road
we walked so long ago
when stood beside
forever
the purple dogwood grows

so pure~
Oh……….thank you! What a beautiful sentiment. Your kindness touches my heart. Truly, thank you. ~ Love, B
so much is beyond the gate….
it keeps some in and some out
some memories I now doubt
do you ever wonder if you just imagined all those memories
for they don’t seem to be the same ones we shared with the other half
Beautiful…heart-touching….as always Bobbie…
I love it

They are not imagined, dear Maryrose. Nor could they be the same, for surely, you are not the same. But they are real (as you are real) and truth remains as long as there is one to remember. Love never leaves us (nor should it)……… Do not doubt your heart (but rather doubt that you would question)…… You know….. ~ Love, Bobbie
pining after lost love…I think we’ve all been in that place under the purple dogwood at one time or another. Just lovely Bobbie. How do you do this day after day? You must be a wellspring of creativity. ๐
….or a swamp of melancholy ๐ All I need is to hear someone’s story……..and I know the story……..the only difference is that I have the words. Thank you, Jeannie. ~ Love, Bobbie ๐
Oh this is so full of a hearts longing….memories that burn bright long after the light went out….tis bittersweet….again, I love your rhythm….so perfect and on cue….

Thank you, Celeste. I am thrilled that these words find their way to your soul. Truly, thank you for allowing. ~ Much love, Bobbie
Well i had to read this one and it is simply beautiful! A passionate write of longing for a love you once did know, yet lovingly you reminisce the beauty of that relationship as it is always alive in your heart!
Wonderful, Wendell………… I fully expected you to understand this – that love is never lost. Always, love survives within the way we walk and the way we speak, and the way we greet another with a smile. Love endures in whatever ways it can, making us better (always) for the love we gave away. I may regret much in my life, but I will never regret love. My bet would be that those who die with regret do so because of love they didn’t give. Thank you! ~ Love, Bobbie
Another lovely rhythmic piece to go with another lovely photo which I adore…
beautiful flow and images. I loved “beyond the gate”!
I am so glad, Linda…… I think many relate to this in many ways. Thank you so much! ~ Love, B
