Love is but a sweet caress A gentle touch upon thy breast As flowers fresh in early Spring Or baby birds as they take wing Love will paint the roses hue In vibrant colors graced with dew As sunshine greets the morning sky To kiss the fields of wheat and rye Love is like the ocean's lure Warm, embracing and secure As Winter's clear or warmlit days As misty mountains in the haze Finally, love will test the soul As minutes, days, then years unfold A word of caution brings advice True love requires sacrifice Poetry is just the evidence of life. |

Love is like the ocean's lure Warm, embracing and secure As Winter's clear or warmlit days As misty mountains in the haze OH,MY! Sigi Trutodaraiders each thing you write gives pictures to the spirit,music for souls to dance to and then reminds there must be more than wispy dreams of beauty one must as well be willing to sacrifice to make this work for all!

Very well written and classical structure exhibits a style of "Classical Romanticist Poet"... Bravo. My preference. MoonShadow . |
