Believe It Or Not

Our love was born a misty morn
That day of days, I was reborn.
Reached across to hold her hand and
A branding iron burned its brand.

I called to her, I spoke her name
By that first sound, I struck a flame.
Then sank into two pools of green
Went down three times and died serene.

My soul pulled down by pure unique  
By green eyes full of pure mystique.
I floated in a bear of flair
And had no sense of what or where.

Came up into a sun lit bay
Ecstasy in the light of day.
And there upon the shore she stood
Exactly as I thought she would.

And I have been there ever since
She my queen and I her prince.

Sounds like the perfect place to stay to me and from what I have read in your poetry...you are a prince indeed. Wonderful write and so glad that I found time today to read in here.  This one makes it worth it all alone.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

For a split second, I believe I saw her standing upon the shore. Does she have blond hair?

I wish I could believe it, but sadly, I don't. Good write, but seems like fantasy to me right now at this point in my life

Love built a castle in the sand
upon a beach of understand
phasing moons mark time in pull of tides
there love sustains two ... side by side

if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

Seymour I really like that, "I floated in a bear of flair."  he he didn't we all?
"You hung around kept my feet on the ground
when I acted as proud as a fool."
that happen to you? and now
The frostking has come and with a flick of his thumb,
turned our windows to renaissance art.
As we sit by the fire with no need to inquire,
about the ways of the soul and the heart.
The years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh,
not noticing youth as it flew.
But it's easy to tell you wear your age well,
not having to prove you're still you."
song by Valdy
Great poem Seymour a true poets pen you carry in your mind!!    take care    ethome
