Memories of someone who has changed one's life never fade away... ...neither does true friendship. In spite of this world's best efforts at ruining them, I believe that love and friendship can endure.
Gazelle*
Sometimes I think I dreamed up Gazelle In the profundity Of a moonless night in June But I know it cannot be so For I remain mesmerized By the depth of her emerald eyes Enchanted by her intoxicating scent Charmed by her sensual touch Enthralled by her sweet angelic voice Captivated by her fascinating style Rapt by her unique personality
It is said that when one loves someone One must set them free If it is meant to be They will come back
End of part one Now for the sequel And this long-awaited ending
* Fictitious name for someone far from fictitious.
Quelquefois je crois que j’ai inventé Gazelle Dans un rêve Tout au fond d’une nuit de juin sans lune Mais je sais que cela est impossible Car je demeure toujours séduit Par la profondeur de ses beaux yeux verts Ensorcelé par son parfum enivrant Charmé par sa caresse sensuelle Extasié par sa douce voix angélique Saisi par son style fascinant Captivé par sa personnalité unique
On dit que quand on aime quelqu’un On doit les libérer S’ils nous reviennent Cela devait être ainsi
Fin de la partie un Maintenant la suite Et cette fin si longtemps attendue
* Prénom fictif pour une personne qui ne l’est certainement pas.
WELL DONE REGIS, YOUR HEART WAS ON YOUR SLEEVE AGAIN...BUT IT SEEMS JUST KNOWING HER WAS WORTH IT. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE AND BLESSINGS, IN FAITH, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
I love your heart Sweet Reg~ so delicate, so caring and unfettered!
as this poem sure is!
Romantic YOU!
This is Beautiful, as she did something to YOU!
Warmly, Warrior Spirit Lady Sheeeoox
BE SAFE!
Stay POsitive!

Very lovely poem! It had a soft, gentle air about it. Much enjoyed! ~ Helena
Reg,
What a romantic verse. I can remember the days I once felt emotion such as this. Those days are gone. As the love I felt was ripped from me. And though in my heart, I know it is possible to love again, I fear it shall never be so for me and even if it could be, it would never be so well and deep a love. Thank you for the passion you bring forth in your verse.
When I first met Gisela (German), it was as if being struck by lightning. Unfortunately, she was married to a brooding artist who, at her birthday party, tried to talk another couple into wife swapping.
...and so we wait, the most difficult saga of all!
You can only travel down a one way street for so long and at some point the road takes a different turn, whether it be sharp curves, narrow passes, two-way streets or dead ends
...whatever path you travel, the road to true love is a hard one.
Enjoyed this continued thought of my own today...as my oldest contemplates her one way streets...:(
Love and Peace~

ahhhhhhhhhhh, but the French, the French!! Such an impressionistic write and so full of rich evocation and sensuality. The Gazelle appearing on a moonless June night is highly visual, yet you describe "her" in very human terms. You paint a person and the nature of this sensitive, intuitive relationship in mystical colours, and yet it is so true... love means letting go, as one would any wild animal. You speak of bonds that are felt and maintained on a level deeper than the normal human-social. I love this. It, like you and Gazelle, is special. TY Kate xx
Beautiful Poem, and so true, tender and sentimental, you are of course right that if you love someone that much then it has to be enough to let them go, although that is so very difficult to do,
I hope she comes back to you.

You have many reviews. I thank you for reviewing mine 1st. your style I thought'unusual. "I thought it was well written, well laid out, well done! I think also that, as we all read eachother articles,we gain a wider spectrum to out future writing. Mine seems to be still developing. But ..what fun huh?
As usual Reg...relating to each others experiences seems now to be the norm...A fine write here my friend...Every word struck a cord with me...well done...erin
A nice work here Reg...a view of one's own depth of love...though you express a loss of a love, you also show the depth of which you still are enveloped within it....
You have penned heart and soul here my friend, outstanding work that many can relate to. Beautifully written! You are truly a wonderful poet!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling
The one thing about a great author is his ability to put such realvence in his work so that everyman who reads it can relate to it...
you Regis have that gift.......thank you

Beautifully expressed. Sometimes there are those souls that touch our hearts so deep we cannot explain...nor need to. This sounds like one such soul. It is a gift to have such a one...and a gift to recognize it and be able to put those feelings to words. Always the best of good things to you, Regis,

Stunning write and beautiful thoughts

And if it come back than it was meant to be!!
Outstanding piece of poetry!!
Love and Peace to you always
Your friend....Morning Star
Love the descending bass like rhythm following 'For I remain mesmerised'
The present tense 'remain' suggests faith in the outcome of letting the one you love go.
A wonderful poem, thoughs wander to the gracious creatures roaming Serengetti plains.
But...some of your friends can't read it because they are color blind, and some hues totally disappear from the paper.
Perhaps you could posted this one again on black over white?
With many thanks

Beautiful sentiment with loooooooongggggggggggg legs...does she have? Gazelle, leaps and bounds...she's swift, Regis, catch her when she returns to her spring Meadow of Auffray!
"Fictitious name for someone far from fictitious" brings the intrigue into the mind of it's readers. Love and friendships endure where they are meant to. Some a season, some for a reason and others that last a lifetime. Your write reminds me of that. Lady J
Oh, wonderful! It is a lovely poem, and filled with the promise of good, good things ahead. I don't speak a word of French, but that version was pretty, too! All the best to you, Regis.

Beautiful poem... wonderful point. Love cannot be returned on demand. You must release the other and allow them to be drawn back to you. Then you can truly feel your love was freely given and gratefully recieved.
