I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain,
I wonder if theres a real me, or am I just this plain?!
I hear the fairies whistling, on a tree not far away,
I see there wings of splendor, & I sit in disarray.
I want to feel again, to feel a love in vain,
I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain.

I pretend that the words I hear, dont stop inside my heart,
I feel those fairies step down, & carefuly take me apart.
I touch that peace of heaven, right to Edens lair,
I worry that will will never find such peace; yet this remains my prayer.
I cry when I tremble; its a part of me I cant explain,
I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain.

I understand that a picture is a song un-sung,
I say my picture, is of a girl though to young.
I dream that ones rapture will take hold of me,
I'll try to remember that splendor for my memory.
I hope that when you find me, I'll be easy to attian,
For I am just a lover of words & simple flowers in rain...



For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...

==================================

this is absolutely lovely!!!
so many wonderfully mystical lines!!
a beautiful, bittersweet gifting of rhyme.
I hope more of the new people will try this challenge..its been done several times in here and its always fascinating to learn more about fellow poets and see where they take this challenge...having the template format makes it very interesting
yours is written whisper soft..an ethereal write of inner soul.
nice to meet you...Im from St.Lou too

You ...
You are still a whisper on my lips ...
A feeling at my fingertips.
