Inspired by the saying::
Winter my dear would be cold without warm memories
- Sanaa
What of it?
Reflecting on good fortune snug on a pedestal
When life was of prophetic indications pulsating
Looking to the sky clouds bidding as palatable
A tussle to recollect images of a pretty plaything
What of sweet recollections?
Gracious imaginations with mutual feelings of awe
Boy and girl whispering sweet nothings manifold
Insisting on a sacrifice towards a future together
Warm memories nostalgic in part but put on hold
What of uncanny acquiesce?
The winter of their life together devoid of fears
Meant for each other a relationship so blissful
What kept alive little anecdotes of yesteryears
Two hearts locked in place exquisitely beautiful
For Sanaa's A Dash of Sunny - Prompt Nights – #37 and
Elizabeth's Creativity Challenge Day 13 - imaginations
I love this first line "Reflecting on good fortune snug on a pedestal" and "What of uncanny acquiesce?" I enjoyed your reflections very much.
ReplyDeleteI agree, sometimes memories can keep us warm. And then there are those times when they lead us to melancholy. It is our choice,

Whistles!!❤️💝This is absolutely exquisite writing, Hank! I love how you divide this poem into three significant parts, depicting young lovers, their dilemma, emotions and future aspirations. Especially love "What kept alive little anecdotes of yester-years
ReplyDeleteTwo hearts locked in place exquisitely beautiful." Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support❤️💝
Lots of love,
Sanaa
love the wonderful images sketched here...
ReplyDeleteMemories can sure keep one all snug. But then have to make new ones too.
ReplyDeleteI like how you've worked in the idea that there is more to relationships than shared memories, yet they can set the foundation for a stronger relationship to come.
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds like such a beautiful union. Sigh. Lovely, Hank.
ReplyDeleteThe last stanza is currently dancing in my heart, Hank. Such tenderness...
ReplyDeleteSo winter calls lovers to cuddle in the joy of the seasons
ReplyDeleteTogetherness is the most warming thing to be with your loved one and when apart those memories are sustaining.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images you create of a season to cuddle and relive memories of young love. And the last stanza is simply the best!
ReplyDeletePerhaps memories put on hold allow us to hope and keep moving forward - i do hope so
ReplyDeleteMemoties are a two way tug of war,
ReplyDeleteHappiness of one's life together,
Then the sadness of being apart.
Wonderfully captured here Hank. Well done.
Yvonne.
