I love you like I love, memories of the peaceful kind. Like sunny days and lemonade and all the gifts that Grandma gave, cotton candy and ferris wheels and time alone when dreams turn real. I love you like I love morning dew on fields of grain and dawning sun through window panes, cool clear lakes and boating trips and mother's favourite Sunday dish. I love you like I love the delicate taste of the finest wine. Like the laughing thrill of bumper cars and sleeping out under the stars, singing song on New Years Eve and listening to the roaring sea. I love you like I love walking in the evening rain and the lonely call of a distant train, the warming rush of London Gin and the fire's glow when we're snowed in. I love you like I love the mystic call of the morning loon. Like thoughts that come on winds that moan and fire flies that chirp and glow, roosters posed on weathervanes and Autumn leaves on country lanes. I love you like I love family days at county fairs and circus clowns with orange hair. budding trees in early spring and the bubblin talk of a mountain stream. I love you for the quiet way you steal my day and the love we share I can't explain. |

ethome, So happy to see this beauty is a VOTW submission. Excellent writing my friend. I so enjoy the love that flows from your pen. "I love you like . . . " is a fabulous line!! A pleasure to vote!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I love you like I love walking in the evening rain and the lonely call of a distant train, the warming rush of London Gin and the fire's glow when we're snowed in. I love you like I love the mystic call of the morning loon. Like thoughts that come on winds that moan and fire flies that chirp and glow, roosters posed on weathervanes and Autumn leaves on country lanes. ======================= I love you for the quiet way you steal my day and the love we share I can't explain. ====================== oh i do so love when Ethome writes love poems... you are so darn good at this absolutely perfect ethome... those last two lines are worth their weight in gold... (worth a night with Van) this ones headed for my files and the book later-in love-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |
