Quickly
the blushing leaves in September
murmured amongst each other
as feeling
makes its way into my heart
at grey twilight.
I wish to be the name on parted lips
when world
will slowly fade and sky
comes rushing down
to kiss the earth.

I like this Sanaa…it gives me a feeling of the pressure of time…autumn and then winter…and how hearts can awake and realize, hopefully not too late, an ultimate wish…beautiful

The murmur, the name, and the kiss all create this romantic setting of mythical proportions.

The secret about being that name on parted lips is to say theirs as well holding your last embrace in your mind. I think that should work Sanaa!
Definitely 😀 thanks for stopping by, Robin ❤️

The name on lips when sky kisses the earth…that’s intense! Romantic Love!
Thank you so much, Priscilla 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I just really like this piece, this small poem, from start to finish ~ it captures the longing, the yearning, so simply, yet somehow, it comes across as so complex for the (word) capture. (Does that make sense? LOL – let me try again: simple words, for a complex set of emotions – yet somehow, the words you’ve chosen are rich – imbued with something “more” than a first glance/definition -. right. I give up today for comments.) I just really like this Sanaa – well done for a quadrille. 🙂
Aww gosh! ❤️ Thank you so much, Pat 😍 so glad you liked it! ❤️
