Labor Of Love
~*Marge Tindal*~

Out across a pregnant morn
Poem waiting to be born
Ejaculating thoughts of inspire
Birthing verse from depth of desire~

Seed-of-need in poetic yearn
Blending ink of choice
Inhale of poetic dreams
Anticipating gift of voice~

Labor of love has begun
Breath of poet in exhale
Dip of quill in ink-of-think
Etch of words in full regale~


~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

Margie girl darling sister of my heart this is especially lovely, the lines of this delight are superb, truly awesome. Yet again you’ve spun words into magic and spread them in a carpet of light. How beautifully you’ve written of the birth of love how delicately you’ve traced loves’s warmth with your amazing artistic eye. Do I love this? …….

You KNOW I do, never ever do you fail to lift a poem up to the heights of wondrous beauty.

This is truly exquisite writing and I love it love it love it utterly.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Sometimes when you think of it in those terms, it doesn't make since to call it labor.  But hey ............. I'm a guy so what would I KNOW of it anyway. LOL  Beautiful to see your name again.
