A man shares heartfelt memories of a fulfilled love.


Poem Artwork

                                                                     In celebration of 58 years of marriage, I share my heartfelt 

                                                                     memories of the woman I have loved and adored since

                                                                     we were both fourteen years old.

                                                                                                                                   Richard Lee Orey.

                              


                                                    
                                                   (Recitation by Richard Lee Orey)

                                               


                            Memories of Another Day




               

                Your face appeared in sunset’s glow

                Eyes soft and gentle, lips full and sweet

                In the moonlight, you turned to me

                Your body close, your heat upon my soul

                             Years have passed

                             Seeming like a day

                             The vision bold 

                             Yet I am old and gray


                  I held you in my arms, close against your breasts

                  Eyes closed, lips pressed upon the other

                  The rhythm of pounding hearts

                  Loins stirred with unquenchable fire

                             Years have passed

                             Seeming like a day

                             The vision bold

                             Yet I am old and gray


                   I caressed your orchid, sweet and waiting

                   Rivers of passion flooded your sacred space

                   Drawing deep, I couldn’t breathe

                   With an overwhelming need to share

                               Years have passed

                               Seeming like a day

                               The vision bold

                               Yet I am old and gray

  

                     Storms of emotions raged within our souls

                     With the unchecked rhythm of the universe

                      Joined in unity, clinging each to the other

                      A fantasy of paradise to hold forever

                                Years have passed

                                Seeming like a day

                                The vision bold

                                Yet I am old and gray


                      Sitting by the fireside, reflecting on long life

                      Rising tears of soul-mate joy abound

                      Tender love surpasses understanding

                      Blessed beyond belief

                                 Years have passed

                                 Seeming like a day

                                 The vision bold

                                 Yet I am old and gray


                      Loving another as innocents will never know

                      Bidding goodnight as only we do say

                       I love you.  I love you more

                       I’ll wait for you at Heaven’s door.

                                   Years have passed

                                   Seeming like a day

                                   The vision bold

                                   Yet I am old and gray


                       Memories of another day

Dear Richard, this is an excellent piece of poetry. Filled with such tender affection, deep and true. Your memories and love for each other is a rarity in these chaotic times. The Good Lord has blessed you with the kind of devotion that only you and your loved one feel. Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing this gift.

Well, this, to me, takes The Glittering Prize in the Valentine's Poem stakes, if one were being offered, Richard. It's confident and assured; proclamatory loud and proud - yet so tender and intimate at the same time. What I love about it is the solid refrain that speaks of an eternal perspective which condenses time in an almost William Blake kind of way - YET the vision remains brightly coloured, standing square and true and ever advancing. This is what it means to love and be loved to the uttermost and forever. Soulmates indeed. I salute you and congratulate you on a most wonderful write and, most of all, on the sustaining of a relationship that has been always "meant to be!" Totally knockout! Bless you both! Kate xx

What a b e a u t i f u l tribute, Richard! Poignant, tender, passionate. . .I could go on and on. Incidentally, my husband and I celebrated our 56th anniversary January 28th. Goes by fast, doesn't it? If only we could freeze Time. All we can do is fill the little bit we are given with tokens of affection like saying I love you and holding hands and doing our best to ignore each other's peccadillo's (sp?). Doesn't hurt to write a love poem from time to time.:)

Always have our memories and the knowledge that love never dies.

Bless both of you forever more.

Many "old folk" will relate and find themselves having the same kind of memories because, after going so long on life's bumpy roads there always will be those moments when we stopped and with our arm around her shoulders we let our eyes to be enjoyed.
