(1) Afterthoughts Poem by Sandra Fowler
(1) Afterthoughts
Words will no longer come from you to me,
Handwritten from a land of minarets.
The imagery still lights my afterthoughts,
I wish you a long sunset, poet friend.
How strange the loss of letters matters when
We never met in ordinary life.
And yet, 'As always' is my signature.
I hope warmth travels safely without stamps.
My eyes look through the old panes of the soul,
Remembering work of threadbare elegance.
Perhaps such verses will survive your west,
Invoking dawn against a distant glass.

Words will no longer come from but afterthoughts will linger on.............10/10. Regards Naseer
An ode of 'threadbare elegance' in itself. A wonderfully written tribute to a poet muse x
The introduction of somebody has been made evident through words so expressively that one feels the bondage at mental level even without a meeting. The title expresses one of the very true natures of mankind since the humanoid age that there is no end to thoughts even after the work has been done..........
You say we've never met in ordinary life, yet your words evoke friendship on the highest level - spiritual. Lovely poem. It somehow seems to connect poets from all over the world. What a great gift! Thank you for sharing with us. RoseAnn
