You traced a heart
on the shower door,
a love letter to me.
The water fell
like the rain did on the roof
of our summer refuge.
I traced my fingers on your skin,
words of love,
poetry I long to give you.
Your wings carry me,
your branches embrace me.
You are my ocean,
you are my home.
Your passion fierce as the wind,
your love tender.
I love your imperfections.
I love the fire in your eyes.
I love your mischief,
always a boy,
yet a strong man.
Five A.M,
we inhale coffee,
our feet tangled together.
Waiting for our day to begin,
a new page to fill.
Meet us here, http://dversepoets.com/ where we share our thoughts and our hearts.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Yousei. Never give up on love. :)
DeleteThe description of lover and sea are intermingled in my mind - the passion (of lover and the sea), the tenderness and intensity (of lover and the sea) are one and the same - I love what you've done here !!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. :)
Deleteso beautiful dear Ayala... I know this feeling, it is the same for my and my husband.

Deletewhen we love someone so much, we really have to appreciate it because we don't know when it's going to end.

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful and powerfully passionate, Dear Ayala. And 5:00 a.m. is an early start, hopefully you get to bed nice and early!
I probably should be sleeping, but some wonderful poems tonight are my guilty pleasure before turning in, as I worked so hard all day today cleaning my house, packaging eBay sales, cooking, organizing and such. Sunday is my only day to sleep in, so when I wake refreshed, I'm raring to get stuff done.
Anyway... this has nothing to do with your loving poem, but I'm in a chatty mood I guess. :)
Poems by my favorite poet friends are a nice night cap, thanks for an uplift in this one.
xoxo
He did ;). Thank you, Jannie. Sounds like your hands are full so I am glad you had a chance to visit and a chance to soak in some poetry. xoxo
DeleteVery nice poem! Love the pic too! Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I wish you the same :)
DeleteOh, this is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary :)
