July,
and though the sun has gone
the night has not
fallen darkly
the stones beneath my feet
still radiate the warmth
they absorbed
from its bright rays
not
unlike
you
while your loves left
too soon
their love still shines
through you
its radiance bursts forth
in watercolored hues
and those lucky enough to see it,
are better for it
~Melanie Thomason
(This is dedicated to a wonderful friend. She should know this is for her.)

.... my journey to a healthy life, making new memories and so much more
I like the idea of someone’s love and warmth still lasting.
Thank you, I think it is true.
I feel the same way! I see this too sweet Melanie! I wish I could write like you do! ❤
Thank you so much! ❤
This is so wonderful Melanie! Seriously! I’m going to make a little something and just send this in response to inquiring minds about my silence it’s not like I shut up all of a sudden. I just felt done and completed!
So touching and beautiful Melanie. Your words are magic and the world is better for having them.
You are so sweet 🙂
Beautiful! What a gift! Your friends radiance is brilliantly illuminated through the power of your writing.
Thank you, you are too kind.
Reblogged this on Rethinking Life and commented:
I just love this beautiful poem from Melanie. She’s an amazing poet.
Its great!
Thank you 🙂
Beautifully penned. I absolutely loved reading this as well as the others. You are a gifted writer.Have a look at my page as well,would love to hear your views. cheers! 🙂
I’m so very grateful that you read 26 of my poems in the space of 2 minutes and were able to read, comprehend and appreciate them.
This seems to me, to be a blatant attempt to gather likes and comments on your own page. IF that is the case, this is the wrong approach.
Dear Melanie you are mistaken, for I usually tend to read a hand full of posts,gather my thoughts and only then hit the like button,in the end. Forgive me for appreciating good poetry, for I had no such vain intentions. P.s, this is not “a blatant attempt to gather likes and comments” on my own page but, an amateur seeking guidance from an established poet such as you.
Well, I sincerely apologize. I could offer reasons that i jumped to this conclusion but in the end they do not matter. I shouldn’t have answered you while in such a horrid mood.
There was no need for that,I really appreciate the nice gesture though. This very gesture of yours shows a lot about your character. 🙂 I tend to look up to those like you. All I wanted was an opinion from you. It would only help me improve my writing and hopefully achieve what you have today. 🙂
