The tulips sway upon cleansing wind As pale sunrays caress An image lingers upon periwinkle sky As dreams lay now confessed. Yonder the leaves twinkle and spin Dancing in silver-green splendor Thoughts drift like dragonflies Upon some moon touched shore. Blades of lightly moistened green Lay crushed beneath bare skin As here beneath the willow trees I yearn for you again. Lavender petals sprinkle the dawn And kiss my lips of rose As over your softly sleeping face The shimmering breeze now blows. I touch your gently falling locks Of midnight's darkest hue And lightly kiss your tender eyes That now shine violet blue. Our bodies mingle with morning rays And once more two hearts combine Beneath the willow's cool shade We experience pleasures sublime. *Krista Knutson* ~We are only truly lost when we have lost ourselves~ |

The tulips sway upon cleansing wind As pale sunrays caress An image lingers upon periwinkle sky As dreams lay now confessed. Yonder the leaves twinkle and spin Dancing in silver-green splendor Thoughts drift like dragonflies Upon some moon touched shore. ----------------- Lavender petals sprinkle the dawn And kiss my lips of rose As over your softly sleeping face The shimmering breeze now blows. I touch your gently falling locks Of midnight's darkest hue And lightly kiss your tender eyes That now shine violet blue. Our bodies mingle with morning rays And once more two hearts combine Beneath the willow's cool shade We experience pleasures sublime. ------------------ OH MAN!!! K, this is sheer and pure exquisite poetry. this poem is breath taking and the flow is brilliant. pure grace from your pen, I am SO in awe of your talent. (and in need of medical attention for my case of poet envy) LOL  later poetic princess, jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Krista~ Passion is not just a poet's retreat ... you color it 'reality'. Beautifully done. 'As dreams lay now confessed' Stunning line ... ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Beautiful poem, Krista! Your poetic prowess is at a level I dream of. I love the vision of the willow trees and the early morning sunlight upon the two lovers, I see it vividly in my mind. Exquisite Krista, I loved this one (Violet blue? what happend to cobalt? ) |
