Lifetime...

by Amreen   Jan 8, 2012


Lifetime for me
lies in those baskets of memories,
filled with the aroma of bliss...

It possesses the reminiscence of cheerfulness
as bright as sunshine,
with no bits of sorrow...

It instills a faded image of blossoms,
just like the mild taste of coffee
which persists on the tongue for long...

It is enveloped
with the cool breeze of care,
amidst the climate of hot summer...

It is like the excitement filled in us,
when our expectant soul
anticipate a beautiful tomorrow...

It is brimmed with tranquility
of an untouched beauty,
which fascinates exploration...

It is like an enchanting prelude
occupying my mind
with sheer peace...

That's the beauty of a lifetime
I long for...

Those are the moments
I wish to live like a journey,
amidst the hollows of darkness
I am imbibed in...

    I rather enjoyed the imagery you put into my mind with your words.
    "It instills a faded image of blossoms,
    just like the mild taste of coffee" --so beautiful, and you can really imagine it. It's very relate-able.
    You have really strong diction. These beautiful words, such as "tranquility", "anticipation" and etc, really do embody the feeling that I get while I read it.

    This is so so peaceful, very creative metaphors and simply intoxicating. I loved how you incorporated some dose of nature in it. It bought the whole feelings to life.

    An excellent base for optimism to everyone especially those shrivelled and need a nudge to carry on. It speaks deepy into one and gets one thinking hopefully of bright shining opportunities from all possible entities.

    You penned this so breathtakingly good and captivates one from the start till the end. I'm short of words now. Its serene and subilmely described. A fantastic piece of fundamental value to all. A piece of counsel, welldone!
    Hugs dear. :-)) ..

    Another fruitful piece that pulled me from the neck. I loved the 3-line style of stanza you chose. 2hd stanza 'it possess' should read 'it possesses' if I'm not mistaken. 3rd stanza 'persist' should read 'persists'. 5th stanza 'soul' should be 'souls'' 7th stanza

    'It is like an enchanting prelude,
    which occupies my mind
    with sheer peace...'

    either you'd remove the comma or change the 2nd line to read
    'occupying my mind'.

    'Such is the beauty of a lifetime
    I long for...'

    sound more clear if it reads as
    'That's the beauty of a lifetime
    I long for...''

    This piece is worth nominated my friend.

    Finally I'm speechless of the beauty in the poetry you possess. I'm really getting shocked time after time that the world have talents like you. Looking forward to hearing each new from you. Good luck.
