DREAM THE MOMENTS
13 August 2011

Hold me just one tenuous moment
in your arms oak-strong
and as gentle as butterfly-breath,
keeping out the din and chaos
of the reeling world.

Share just one glass of wine with me,
deep-red and rich
taking turns at slow savouring sips.

Let your eyes melt into mine
for an imagined flower-instant
on a grassy hill-top in the summer sun.

Kiss me just one whisper-kiss
that sings a summer breeze,
to last beyond evermore . . .

and before you turn away
and leave,
look back over your shoulder
and give me
just one
warm,
liquid
goodbye-smile.

Absolutely beautiful!

I love the visual you created, I felt as if I was there.

This is just beautiful, Owl. A poem of love with nature in almost every darn line.

I applaud you. Stand / Clap.Clap / Take a bow

~ I knew drugs weren't the answer. I just had to find out for myself. ~

Thank you, Margherita, for your delightful reply.

Thank you, eg.

Thank you, Jerry.  I hadn’t looked at it quite that way, but you are right, yes, this poem is very full of nature.  The truth of it is that I am, always was and always will be in love with nature!  Not just love, me, love my dog – but love me, love nature too!  Smiles.  Laughing happily at the applauding and standing and clapping!  Bowing and blushing, thank you.  More smiles.

If one moment has to last a lifetime, these are the moments that would. *S* So very beautiful, dear friend!
