Remember When (poem)
Remember when you blew a kiss my way
And dreams were filled with all which we would do
How could we let those times just slip away
-
Two youths who put their love upon display
With one grand moment holding their love new
Remember when you blew a kiss my way
-
And so alive with life and hope they’d stay
They gave each care each flare each fair its due
How could we let those times just slip away
-
As they enhanced such hearts were held in sway
And though they grew this promise lingered true
Remember when you blew a kiss my way
-
But then one night her mirror caused dismay
What happened to that youth which once she knew
How could we let those times just slip away
-
I held her through the richness of our day
And all the dreams which we had privy to
Remember when you blew a kiss my way
How could we let those times just slip away

Thank you! Beautiful poem!
Martin, quite often your poems take me back and help me remember the one true love I had in my life and I thank you for helping keep those memories alive.
A beautiful poem Martin and one that brings back a lot of youthful memories.

Remember when........yes, I remember when....
Such a beautiful poem and song ! Well done !
It's just beautiful! When you love someone, time just stands still!
The message is clear, but youth is not everything.
Hi Martin. If I could only wish youthfulness in love to never fade, I had wished for it over and over again. That way I can at least be sure that those blows of kisses will not just slip away, but remain as sweet as it always has been. Beautiful poem, thank you.
Wonderful Martin and here's to so many more from you. I wish you a great day and I vote up,across and share all around.

wow this is such a wonderfully written poem voted awesome!!!
Wonderful words and wonderful song. Loved this lots.
As usual wonderful piece of poetry, Thank you so much martin.
This piece is both beautiful and sad. This poem tells me to live in the moment. Voted up, beautiful and awesome.
Martin, a beautiful villanelle, I love the haunting refrain, and the tender reminiscing. Brilliant as always.
This is exquisite Martin, thosetender precious moments didn't slip away, they are tucked away in your hearts.
I have not attempted a villanelle, you have written this one perfectly.
I know what you mean by a special moment; sometimes we want it to happen time and time again just to recapture its sweetness. Wonderful words.
Voted up,
Jan
A poignant capture of how fleeting love's moments really are, and how careless we can be as their owners. . . .or do they own us, esp. as we get a little older? You have an easy almost innate sense of the musical cadence of the language. Very well done...thank you.
Unfortunately, love fades. Sometimes it is replaced with criticism and days forgotten of what brought it forth in the first place. Keeping love alive is the key. My key seems to have slipped into the drain.....
Each memory more precious like a jewellery box filled with a string less pearl necklace.
