Quadrille Monday




out of the blue

a voice from the past

barrage of emotion


we ended it years ago

no strings attached

heading in different directions


but it was there

heart-beats in harmony

history, chemistry, destiny


in spite of the distance

in spite of the years

    It's funny how that can happen!

    I'm not sure if this is true or not, but if so, I hope it works out and brings you both happiness.

    Hearts never forget. Fine work, this.

    This sort of thing always haunts me. One's heart does not stop. And so one's suffering continues. I adore it completely.

    I tried to think of someone in mu past who'd have the same result. Alas, none rose to the occasion. This is a delight to read, Helen!

    Heart bonds transcend time and distance. If this is based on truth, I hope it works out for you both <3

    Dearest Helen,
    It is always sad if the chemistry kind of ends or goes in two directions without the harmony of hearts.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Yes, separation does not separate the feelings of the heart! Well done.

    If the chemistry is there it's easy to pick up the pieces of the heart again.

    Aww, so that's what happened. The road you eventually took was the right one after all, I hope you know this. (If fictional, too) Be well, dear Helen. Loved this poem (too) You're amazing with words. They got "Heart"

    it was always there
    hearts beating in harmony
    in spite of the distance
    in spite of the years

    Great memories overcome everything unpleasant handing us good beginnings again when moving forward. Very true Helen!

    "in spite of the distance

    in spite of the years"

    This is so promising, I enjoyed your take. :)

    It is difficult to let go and the connections of the hearts lasts forever.

    This is so true! I love when I meet old friends (old hearts!) and the connection is still strong.

    I like this. And it so real, so true, but so seldom. Nicely done.
