I think we all have that special someone for whom time and distance doesn’t matter to the heart 🌼

We all long for a love the heart remembers at random times and whiles, as if it was new 🌼

I’m sure it’s a quote from someone but I’m too lazy to google it right now and see but this reminded me of the sentiment, ‘those we love never truly leave us’.

In life or death, true love knows no bounds. At least, that’s my belief 🌼

This makes me think of the song “I’ll be there”, by The Escape Club.
“On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I’ll be there
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I’d fly
To be with you
I’ll be there”-

Just gave it a listen. The song wasn’t on my radar when the poem was written but I can understand being able to relate the two. I set words free into the ether and then sit back and watch as each gives their own connections to the words. Some things I’ve really worked over and liked barely received a blip of reaction. Some things have just come to me and I never gave a second thought to, and got raved over by comparision.
I liked this because it was short and sweet, spoke volumes in a pint size, and rhymed – which is a struggle for me, so I guess the stars aligned. For me it had nothing to do with death at all, but i can understand that too. Once you’ve set something free it takes on a life of its own. And that’s as it should be.
Thank you stopping to share a comment and the song 🌼

Dear AJ,
Oh, you’re welcome. You know how I enjoy touching your heart especially when candy is involved. 🤭
I’m always gobsmacked by my own response when I read something that will stop and make me think how I can be better at being more generous. For me, this write had me thinking just that. Have I been generous especially with those I love? I really enjoyed the tenderness of this piece. Lovely write, as per. H🌷

Well, now that everyone knows who my muse was, it makes me wonder why you told me to just keep it anonymous!
But you’re here now, so there’s no point in pining on about you with a silly poem – I’ve missed you!Btw…You haven’t seen my Recchiuti Confections Black Box chocolates have you? Just wondering. I can’t seem to find them anywhere? 🌼

I agree with the comments above. This is tender and wistful. A very enjoyable read for me tonight.

Thanks for saying so. I’m afraid I was birthed with a love for romanticism, esoterica, and nature – and the inability to fully capture what I want to say about either. Still, it doesn’t hurt to try.

Love heals, love consumes, and sometimes breaks all we knew. 🌼

You honor me. Teddy distilled intanible feelings that are common to generations into visceral principles. I merely ramble in my own way on common themes, though not many would slough through one of my rambles.🌼
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, especially on the lines you’ll really felt. I.believe your right about, “seek she who can lead to remembrances.”
If one had to describe themselves to another without stating profession, education, faith system, political leanings, family or organizational relationships, what word would describe one’s self best? Would it be lover, fighter, friend, peace keeper, or something else? I am a seeker.

Hey, my eyes are light blue, if you wanna know! lol
Your write is wonderful. I do seem compelled by the easier nature of love poems/prose. This write fits that purpose. Well done.-

Love poems save me from having to write about war, politics, and religion. And an added bonus is that I get to find out the most interesting things about people. 😂
Thanks for the read!
