      A Moment of Love
        
What could be more pure and
   beautiful
than white-cotton cloud legions
marching through an endless
   azure sky,
a grand golden Summer sunset
slipping into the calm-bright sea,
the scent of jasmine and roses
floating on this soft twilight
   breeze,
a thousand silver moonbeams
shadow-dancing to the silent
music of wilderness and time …
even one moment of new love,
stolen from eternity, far
surpasses each of these,
and is worth so much more
than all the riches that have
   ever been.

          --- b. e. adams (thinking Spring and Summer)


      Iridescent Love

Amid this deep-forest heart
when the resplendent pastel
   voice of Spring
first bows to the green and
golden song of Summer,
in one infinitely cherished  
moment of the ‘now’ stolen
   from time,
all of life seems to hold its breath
and it is then the very rocks that
   breathe,
as  these dazzling waters
reflect an infinite azure
cloud-drenched sky and
our finest memories
and dreams of iridescent
   love.

            --- b. e. adams (March anticipation of Spring and Summer)

Thanks Jo, for the kind thoughts ...

The advent of Spring is, of course, inevitable ... the rest, highly unlikely ...

several (very 'experienced') ladies on the double-post-modern "dating scene"
amid this "Runaway American Dream" have clearly assured me that I am too
'nice'/gentle; too direct (not an allegedly exciting 'game player' and/or 'bad boy);
too 'old-fashioned' romantic; and one even said too "corny" (because I'm a 'poet,'
I guess ... and, I gave her roses ?!)' ... so, apparently I'm a dinosauric 'throwback'
to the 19th. century or some such ...

Wonderful words in each of your poems sir! I like that its soon to be Spring and reading your poems makes me think of it warmly! Many thanks for them all!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.
