Late Bloomers






 

 

So gentle are the

feelings, the

clear, fine scents

of these words you

just picked up

from the garden

of my heart;

late, silent bloomers

of the autumn.

Beneath the roots,

they cover our secret

golden dreams;

the musical notes

of future memories

transcending

the breeze.

They are indeed

the tender, precious

reminders of

my love for you.

Dear Jayne:

You'll find the response to your comment after Caitlin's. For some reason they got interpolated. Thank you again! Hugo

hello

Late bloomers is the perfect title for this piece. Your language usage is superb and it flows beautifully. You write love poems with new eyes and dreams, as to make the subject matter seem new again. I love your love poems. My favorite lines are: Beneath the roots, they cover our secret golden dreams; the musical notes of future memories transcending the breeze. Always, Cat

Thank you Cat:

Yes, I put myself in the place of a child that's just come to this world and asks: What is love? That way is easy, and I'm not unduly overburden by the inmensity of love poems written so far. And thank you for the stars and the compliments. Sincerely, Hugo

Dearest Jayne:

Do you want the truth, or another poem? I'm just kidding!, lol. In one way or the other, yes, she is the one to blame for most of my poetical work here at the site ;), including the fictional part which are my short stories, that I haven't posted yet. Sincerely, Hugo

I'm unfamiliar with your work, sir, but if this is any example, I am in dire need of becoming a fan! Great stuff!

You can call me Hugo, like most of my good friends. I thank you very much for the generous compliment you've made on this short poem of mine. I've written I think two dozen poems here at Neopoet, and I'll be glad if you have the time to read them. This will serve me well as and encouragement to improve my writing. Sincerely, Hugo

Gentle and soothing to the soul

What i love so much about your work Hugo is the feel good factor...not sweet and sticky but deep and well rooted. Another beautiful poem Thank you Seabhac (so many Liz's it is getting confusing)

Dearest Seabhac:

Thank you for your beautiful, kind words on my work. Yes, I'm trying to stay always positive on my poems, although I'm aware the negative stuff is always lurking to get us, seeking to envelop us in the sticky stuff, which although sweet, as you say, doesn't not improve our poetry, but distract us from beauty. Sincerely, Hugo

Dear Lyz Girl:

Thank you for your flowery words in regards to my person; I'm really grateful. I have always had this desire to write, but it's here at Neo-poet that I realized I could write poetry this much. Here, the good work and the dedicated example of so many friends, especially those who comment my poems, like you, are in truth responsible for the unassuming ability I have received, for whatever good we do is a gift from God. Sincerely, Hugo

Hey Hugo with the Huge Heart

I am just as flowery as my comment, lol. You are a talented man and I know you went to learn a lot at uni and I think you have achieved much. And your poems prove this, well done my man. Love from Lyz. Xx
