Apiary If my arms, as dormant flowers, limp in November cold Still so close inside my heart, your essence would I hold Should my eyes cloud over, grey as the winter skies Forever would I see your smile, all that my dreams comprise That the stone of granite cliffs might stay my legs inert Fly I will beside your laughter, glide each morning sunrise skirt This I know and all I hold, in times of hollow din A lifetime’s love my only treasure carried deep within As every muscle, all my might for now in supple blooms In epic writes the winds of change, about time’s moonlit rooms Though I may be of simple mind, the softer sounds of joy Mistake it not a plainer thing than mysteries employ For where you are, and all you are, a song within my soul As clear and true as chapel bells, the fields and forests toll If only this, a place made gold of combs in honey heat Then every taste, by far and all, most certain to be sweet Copyright Kkh 11/7/08 |

ThisDiamond - I'm in awe of this writing of yours. Romantic, loving, caring, and from the inside of a warm heart. You may write words like this for me to read anytime. Lovely, just lovely... BC |

Yo ThisDiamond, This is very good work. I used to keep bees when I lived in the country. Bobby |

Exquisite! I so wanted this to be a sonnet, but would not sacrifice any 2 of the lines or the couplet rhyming scheme so deliciously suited to your poem. - Owl |
