Contours of my soul
our silhouettes
just
contours
parallel profiles
casting shadows
on a barren wall
and in my dreams
I try to shape
figments
of you and me
now an illusion
slowly fading
turning to ashes
in the memory
of my soul
where I embrace
fate’s devoir
awaiting that melody
“euphoria of love”…

“casting shadows on a barren wall”……leads well into the feeling of loss, “fading turning to ashes in the memory of my soul”. Beautiful!
February 5, 2011 at 10:18 am
First, a very mystifying and alluring photo which is AWESOME! Second, an equally alluring piece. Love those lines- “now an illusion slowly fading turning to ashes in the memory of my soul”- powerful emotion and imagery in these AWESOME lines. BRAVO! 😉

The outline is conceived
One who does believe
It is Consciousness that sits here
Making this and the physical being near
Now self realization is with whole
Both combine as one is the Soul
Great poem my Dearest Buttercup…hope all is well where you are…sending Love and prayers as well(+)

Elusive and tugs at the heart like waking from a beautiful dream and trying to hang on to the gossamer threads of its memory. A lovely poem Amanda!
February 17, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Ooohh… felt it, girl!! Mystical and enigmatic… I could almost hear an Enigma tune playing in the background… with shadows on the wall… a very sensuous image you created here with your words, Amanda…
A beauty!
Missing you a lot, my dear friend… Hope you are doing well..
Lots of love and hugs to you…

May you walk again
Through the lanes of love
Hand in hand
While in the skies above
Clouds would shower
Their rich blessings
On you, the queen
And he, the king:-)
