30 March 2018

Send me, my love, a shooting star
from your sparkle-night afar
and I will ride it back to you
over ocean of deepest blue,
a magical flight across the skies
to bond with you through depth of eyes.

What happy hours we’ll spend at last,
our hearts apounding firm and fast,
together in our private world,
our dreams realised and now unfurled,
a day and night we will be as one
through dawn of day and set of sun,

my hand in yours, your eyes in mine,
now hearts and souls and arms entwined.
We’ll whisper kisses soft and sweet
in ears, on eager lips and cheek,
and we’ll recall our happy tears
in softest raindrops down the years.

Our sensusous breath we will be feeling
in touch of breezes soft and healing,
a masterpiece of all our thoughts
and all the anguish distance brought,
we’ll paint with Nature’s softest brush
and stroke in future evening’s hush.

If only this could come to be . . .
but see what we have . . . eternally!

Thank you Charly for reading and commenting.  Presumably that is sarcasm (not complaining either way).

Owl, Enjoyed this lovely Romantic piece..
with Rhyme-Sublime.

A Poem Begins as a
Lump in the Throat,
A Sense of Wrong,
A Home-Sickness,
A Love-Sickness.

No, not sarcasm.  Simply stating the reality of existence.  

We yearn for the full passions of the present; sometimes, in the moment, that for which we want, crave, pray, is out of reach in the moment's soft reality...yet, always there is eternity.
