This is beautiful Opheliac.. we can always preserve the ones we love in our memory.. poignant.. peace Brenda

thank you Brenda :)

I enjoy the way the couplet lines mirror each other, thus implying memory in its composure. Simple and effective. I do enjoy these shorter poetic insights. Thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for stopping by

perfect simplicity. very you.

Indeed :)  
Thank you.

ahh..this one, just by a glance, reveals a simple ,to some extent,positive shade to that subject remembered, which is not in re-reads. But, I think I am building up the blocks scattered across so seemingly obscure with my now-hazy brain & come back here.. esp. the dark theme you have put in & the title (that's the beauty of your pieces, you make the reader wonder in different dimensional contexts!)

You read me too well Uma. Thank you :)

juz to add after my rereads as I said ll be back, well not thou much to add to your lovely memorabilia-c piece, only the woven macro-loop reveals more in your short verses... the wishing for a continuum with the subject in your first verse gains a 'cautious' emphasis from the same unchanged way of your past & present form, juz like saying nothing more or nothing less..
Well, Ophie , I like to dissect your pieces cos the scope you lay across is v.v.maximum, as always unique to you:) and, sorry dear to put more of my mind scribblings here again! ~Uma.x
  

no, please don't apologise. I love reading your thoughts on my pieces. Your interpretations are always, somehow/what close to my thoughts when writing my scribblings and I appreciate the fact that you can more or less identify them.
so, thank you!

An elegant tribute to your remembrance Ophie...please explain me the greek connection in your title...Ta 40...

Thank you dear.
In english, it literally means 'the forty'. It's a tribute for my late god-mother. We lost her 40 days ago.

short, efficient, well constructed and beautiful

Thanks Celino!

Sweet and gentle, Opheliac.
