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

Each memory more precious like a jewellery box filled with a string less pearl necklace.
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.....
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.
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,

This is exquisite Martin, thosetender precious moments didn't slip away, they are tucked away in your hearts.

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.
The message is clear, but youth is not everything.
It's just beautiful! When you love someone, time just stands still!
Such a beautiful poem and song ! Well done !
