In that second through crowds,

just like experiencing calm ocean

of dazzling aqua marine;

melted hearts of awareness hover,

transfixed shining smiles hinting

of days to come;

 

knowing that first flush that dwells, showing

both warmth and a magical spell of dusty light

devouring times lasting. Both communicating

with responsive eyes that trigger trenchant

minds ready in snug trance,

 

quintessential symbol...a token of their love,

delicate emotions of pillow refuge and wrinkled

duvets...doubtless of sleep. Desired words that

fly the pathway to their future, where vows

neatly trimmed, specific of devotion whispered

into those twilight years.

 

When romance has put its vibrant passions to bed,

reminiscing still lingers; a familiar deeper friendship

strolls across threshold, new blossoming families

swept along on their own journey; where coming home

there's a solace that holds all dreams of understanding.

"..there's a solace that holds all dreams of understanding." Another super ending to a magical spell of dusty light of a poem!

I like that you seem to be showing that 'coming home' is returning to your loved one(s) and recontacting/reconnencting with eye communication, not just the return to a family house! Rhiannon

Lovely to hear from you as always.

I also loved that coming home last part. It anchors everything that went before.

Thank you for reading and your great comment Catherine. I'm glad the poem came together right, I've always believed it's people and their dreams that make a home.

Great one, Jenny. Another well-written piece of thought. I liked the familiarity part of it. Uh...how can I explain? It's not copying and pasting appropriately. "When romance has put its vibrant passion to bed..." part was great, like after the honeymoon stage of a relationship, where maybe lust and the "newness" of a relationship is gone, but there is still a strong connection. That's what I took from that. Good stuff.

Hi there Hades,

I'm glad you liked this poem, it's good when a reader can take something from reading. 

Thank you for the read and your kind comment.
