I yearn to Whisper Yes


I yearn to whisper yes to you
under a tree somewhere in the old south,
a willow tree perhaps
who’s tears drift slowly, cleanly
layering my hair in green,
and you with scarlet eyes, sunset lit
would sing to me
a deep and true melody
that lingers like a sigh against my hair
in touching tribute to the curve that bares
the loving night.

We would be surrounded in sound,
a cicada concert
with our whispering breath,
then stars would dim
as moonlight opened soft
against the alabaster thigh
of forever.

And this memory
of a day that never was
will summon me on fragrant nights
noisy with other sounds,
to weep this unspent passion
that yearns for you,
to close you into my warmth,
to whisper yes
somewhere under a tree
in the old south.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this reminded me so much of spending the summer inn the southland, sweet friend, I just love those "cicada concerts", they sound so pleasing, yay, this is lovely, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Now tell me you're not a romantic!   Pretty!   *hugs*

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Ok, so the chills hit.
Yes, I know it's a repost.
Yes, I know the chills hit before.
Yes, I know
but I just can't help it.
