In the seasons of the heart.
Love springs verdant, born of joy
And twines us as one part.
But all things fade
And Springtime does depart;
Brave summer's sun shines down
On the summer of brave hearts.
And love's sweet petals bloom
Yet in the end they pall,
For the wind blows keen from
And twines us as one part.
But all things fade
And Springtime does depart;
Brave summer's sun shines down
On the summer of brave hearts.
And love's sweet petals bloom
Yet in the end they pall,
For the wind blows keen from
Clouded skies,
The rain begins to fall.
Yet all things fade,
Mere rain is chilled to sleet;
The heart's heart knows too well the cold,
The seasons are complete.
For love's tumultuous chords rang forth,
Yet in the end all fell,
Our heart beats sound no more as one
Yet ever beat, 'farewell'.
Yes all things fade
Yet never wholly do depart,
For always faint strains of our love
Sound in the quiet heart.
When the heart's heart finding stillness
Finds the inner voices clear,
Hearts sing the songs of happiness,
Hearts sing the songs of tears.

I like the way you wrote this one, though I don't agree that true love ever ends, even with death. Other emotions will fade, and thank God for that :), but, I think when your heart begins to forget love, it wasn't love at all - just an opinion from personal experience.
ReplyDeleteA friend copied a part of this on FB page of my book (she's helping me promote it there, while I research futher :)) "Brave summer's sun shines down
On the summer of brave hearts." - she ref.ed it, don't worry. :) And I was very honoured when she said it reminded her of me; I thought that was very cool. So, I really like these lines.
Love makes two people as one - something I said in one other comment, but "what love connects, even death can't tear apart". However, also as I said before, love is a two-way street, so it won't exist without being returned.
I like this poem because it tells the truth about heart and how it will let go of various emotions, some that are so strong they can be confused with love.
Wow that's really cool actually - I am pleased.
ReplyDeleteI think this poem is actually about coming to terms with the end of a relationship but well and so, I think there always remains that vestige of love as a happy memory if some peace has been found afterwards.
I think after a failed relationship memories remain and if the heart is pleased to remember them, then there was something special shared and you (or both) had a good time. That's the most we can expect once a relationship ends. Wasters are those relationships that leave us with a horrid feeling even long after they end.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
