“My heart was split, and a flower appeared” – Solomon
my broken heart cries within
silent regrets undoing time
our past in a dream sublime.
Forget-Me-Nots in my tonic and gin
its magical elixir clings to my lips.
embraced emotions weep in my eyes
love, intoxicating, grows with each sip
only sweet hellos and no goodbyes

Thank you so much, Cheryl. ❤️ It was 30 degrees F this morning so we celebrated with a fire in the fireplace and lots of hot coffee. 🤗
Beautiful poem Eugenia 💕
Thank you! 😊
This is incredibly fine, I LOVE it. And it’s great to be back here after NaNoWriMo used up my writing hours in November 🙂
Thank you, and welcome back!😉
You’re welcome–and thanks much!
PS: I’m also loving the look of your blog–could you tell me which WP blog theme you use, please? Thanks 🙂
Thank you and sure, I use the Opti theme. I like it because it is very functional and has a lot to offer. It organizes images and comments nicely. 😉 Thanks for noticing and asking.
Oh, thank you so much, Eugenia! 🙂 Your blog has a unique and very attractive “atmosphere”…if that makes sense (it’s a compliment, anyway!).
How wonderful that Solomon’s words led you to forget-me-nots, Eugenia! A wistful, poignant poem.
Thank you, Kim!
Charming use of the prompt from Solomon – “Forget-Me-Nots in my tonic and gin” – memorable!
Thank you, Laura!
‘only sweet hellos and no goodbyes’ – that’s so lovely: enchanting ending to a beautiful love poem!
Thank you, Ingrid!
This is so evocative! I love “Forget-Me-Nots in my tonic and gin its magical elixir clings to my lips.”💝
Thank you so much, Sanaa! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
delicious
Thank you, Ron.
The first line is so painful….draws the reader in. This line is my favorite
“Forget-Me-Nots in my tonic and gin” —- ah yes. Sometimes it is the response to swallow/drink away the pain. And then the juxtapositioning of that sweet flower with the words in its name…well done!
‘only sweet hellos and no goodbyes’ – I think we could all do with that at the moment. Lovely poem.
Yes, we could, and thank you.
Thank you so much, Lillian!
Very beautiful indeed…
Thank you!
You are most welcome indeed
Wow, that is one beautiful poem today. I love the blossoms too.
Thank you!
I like your progression from forlorn sadness to real hope … that last line is powerful!
Thank you, Kate!
you’re most welcome Eugenia
“silent regrets undoing time” — Yes. As if the past is undone, when it is, in fact, all we have to hold on to.
True, indeed, Ken!
“Only sweet hellos and no goodbyes” If only.
Yes, if only!
I can really feel the bitterness of the tonic in this.
