"Love's Escape"


My love waits on the green
of the newberry bush to flower
my love will fall, marine,
from out this bluestone turret tower

Then my love will dance aloft
within an eastern emerald shade
heather hair of silken soft
upon the moss of midnight's glade

And my voice, in love, will cry
strong hands on ivory nape
fingers trace each orchid sigh
along the skin of love's escape

this is very beautiful poetry RD,
you have painted many very lovley images..
etching them vividly for the reader,
doing so in a few well written verses.
unique poetic vocabulary choices add to its graceful beauty.
well done indeed
take care

Definitely my new favorite of yours and that is no easy task and also the reason that ALL of yours go into my library.  Probably one of the most beautifully written pieces I have ever read.

Loved this never read anything like it. And yet so very beauiful

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.

What beautiful phrases...I really love the quality of the structure and the words...... I think this is one of your better poems....
"my love will fall, marine
from out this bluestone turret tower."

So vivid and appealing to the senses. Love is great, isn't it?
