Dearest Love
                  (love letter challenge)

Letters of love
I've written many
from a heart full
of hope and promise
Even though
the “Dear to”
may have changed
on the winds of woo
The love I felt
was always true...
at the time


Dearest Love,

How swift, how sweetly you fill me up with joyous and lift me above lonely's domain, breathless in anticipation with countenance radiant.   A patient impatience captivates my heart  in the absence of pain. You alight my senses to the brilliance of the day.  Love, you grace my being in every tender way. You effervesce my essence, keep kindness kindled and jealousy at bay.  You gift my heart with contentedness and forgiveness.  You gift humanity with it's existence. Love. you bond all things, one to another; be it a mate, motherhood, music, motorcycles, wine, women and words, to the stars in the sky. I pray to know the flow of you and we walk as one until the day I die.

With open heart,
Lori

Haha! Love "the “Dear to” / may have changed / on the winds of woo" . . .

There is one thing about writing love letters, sometimes the recipient of it finds it difficult to live up to the expectations.

I did NOT mean that personally, Lori. I find that lately I get chastised for these things and I am trying to not personalize things. Maybe I did here, hell I don't know.

Look at you...and on Groundhog's day, no less. When the mammal thinks winter is to last another six weeks, and you, throwing petals into the air!

Sunshine, I tried throwing ground hogs but the effect just wasn't the same.
