histoires d'amour

happy valentine's day, writer's cafe!

artwork y konstantin razumo

an alphabet of stealthy references

some powerful and some vague

quietly tiptoes ‘neath my fingertips

creating histoires d'amour

 

unbridled joy cascades upward

landing on the keyboard of glorious emotions

‘tis there a filigreed empyrean expands before me

as new phrases define desire

 

oui, mon amour

repeatedly you caress my world

each time with a new cadence

proving true love stories never have endings

 

 

 

 

histoires d'amour = stories of love

Reviews

[Bala Gorthi]

Very true indeed, true love stories never have endings. The words are just as beautiful as the that feeling love that made them land on the keyboard.
This is very very fine poetry by a very fine poetess.
I read and read and got mesmerised by the beauty of this write.
Thank you Lydia for this craft.

So happy to allow you to hitchhike on my words...singing all the way. Thank you very much, E. You are a gem. Lydi**

[Einstein Noodle]

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi... Romance dances on silver clouds of
innocence where cascades of desire float endlessly... Your poetry has a cadence of eternal bliss with a lovely Valentine kiss. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Pat. May you and Roger have the most wonderful Valentine's Day!

[Patricia Wedel]

And may you and Steven have romantic candlelight moments... on Valentines Day!

[Lydia Shutter]

Awwww, thanks, Pat.

Each new moment, experience, and emotion opens our hearts expanding its definitions and capacity. Some hit you with a bang, while others sneak in and caress it softly. Both can be enjoyable :)

Happy Valentine's Day my friend. This one is beautiful as always.

[Lydia Shutter]

April, so nice to see a review from you! Thank you very much. Lydi**

'.. ‘tis there a filigreed empyrean expands before me ~ as new phrases define desire .. '

You write as if casting spells and as such, your poem is true magic. Love becomes the ultimate with every glorious phrase. It's wonderful, Lydia!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, dear Emma. Lydi**

[emmajoy]

Don't mean to be sycophantic, Lydi, but, tis always a pleasure.

[Lydia Shutter]

:) your obsequious ways make you the real lady you are!

[Lorry]

....Of which, you can now add this wonderful piece as a valuable addition to the library Lydi. We speak of love and the words we long to hear, but for the words to be as important a part of that as the person saying it is a wonderful twist to what can be a saccharinely too sweet day. Love it.

[Lydia Shutter]

Valentine's Day, in my opinion, is a holiday for the florists, jewelers, and card manufacturers to make money. True love and romance should blossom every day. Thanks, Nemo. LydI**

[Lorry]

So true. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and we just keep on defining that lining that sews together the soul of love.

[Lydia Shutter]

Or we try to anyway. Thanks, Jacob. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

I loved the language used. Mr. Donne would love these words.
"unbridled joy cascades upward
landing on the keyboard of glorious emotions
‘tis there a filigreed empyrean expands before me
as new phrases define desire"
The above lines. A perfect emotional ride. Thank you Lydia for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thanks so much, John. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Lydia.

[Ken Simm.]

Love stories never have endings. So true. They are alive as long as we are. Or longer if we write lovely poetry about them. Une histoire pour une histoire d'amour.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Ken. Always appreciate your visits. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am always impressed by your language of love, Lydi. It speaks fluent in any tongue! Magnifique, tout simplement magnifique!

[Lydia Shutter]

Merci beaucoup, mon ami! Happy Valentine's Day, Kelly! Lydi**
