Love

Dear Love,


The kind they write about
Is somewhere balanced above
Just to hang so much
~
off my fingertips
~
that I tip toe in hope to catch a star
For it seems to me
that stars
~
Are the ceiling to my rapture
~
I jump and land
Heavy footed
Heavy hearted
To appraise what slipped through here
Through my hand
~
To sprinkle upon the heads
Of lovers
star crossed
anew
~
The dust of love
Shaken from the eldest root
every drop was meant to hold
the souls of two
but it's I
that reaches high
as others keep their vision straight
I, who strive for golden dust
the root of love would grow in me
~
When I find her
Her roots will be
the brightest supernovas
And her blossoms
Will busy
The honey bees
Of Heaven
~

Love

Dear Love,


You are not a ceiling
You are not a measure
I know you grow
Forever more
For I will nurture your existence
~
As much as one soul could do
~
Love, the kind I write about
When I began I only cried
Now I believe in you
(when I find her
will she know me too?)
~

Sincerely,

One in Love.

Oh Walt...you make my heart sigh when you write these lovely serious poems.  You are just an old romantic too aren't you??!!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

And her blossoms
Will busy
The honey bees
Of Heaven


A wonderful trip this celestial journey,
just keep reaching and looking up to those stars, Walt, one is bound to fall your way!

'The dust of love
Shaken from the eldest root
every drop was meant to hold
the souls of two
but it’s I
that reaches high
as others keep their vision straight
I, who strive for golden dust
the root of love would grow in me
When I find her
Her roots will be
the brightest supernovas
And her blossoms
Will busy
The honey bees

This is just really nice~

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Is that you on Batman at Six flags? I love that ride! But I'd have to say my all time favorite is the Titan followed very closely by the Texas Giant. By the way, I also live in the metroplex.

Magnificent poem. The best novel I ever read about love whose roots are "the brightest supernovas" and whose blossoms "will busy the honey bees of Heaven" is Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres.  It's about all kinds of love, and is placed on the Greek island of Cephallonia during World War II. It takes sometime to get into but is wonderful.

Thanks for sharing your poem.
