She is a hive full of
Sweetness.
But , never far from
the sting .

โ€œI see you โ€œ she smiles
as she touches my face .

Upstairs she lies
with coverlets and curtains.

I am searching
and searching.
But , for what
Iโ€™m not sure .

Maybe diamonds
but probably
Fireflies and Lace .

Working towards not
losing my shadow.

My inertiaโ€™s held
prisoner
to her beauty
my moral vision
called and questioned.
The death of leaves ,
stranded on the high wire
in the back of beyond.
Welcome it, everyone, with open hearts,
from feathery wings of angels;
Its clarity washes away each tear,
and blankets us from all angles.

The evergreens swathed in oyster white,
exquisitely aligned with holly berries;
Which light up the yard in rosy glow,
and comfort us from our worries.

No longer alone the cardinals fly,
and meet their mates high above;
Cheerfully sitting upon the branches,
nestling together with wintry love.

Gracefully floating through the air,
like delicate lace from times long ago;
While we watch this glorious solstice scene,
enchanted by the sight of first snow !
Your touch keeps me awake at night,
its depth is like an angel's wing;
Light as a feather yet burns with desire,
you have always been my everything.

From first we met in the dawn of day,
the summer sun glowing strongly;
Your eyes sparkled like the ocean's waves,
I had never felt such intense longing.

Now it's Autumn and we're still together,
tied in knots of faded bittersweet berries;
The memories captured now in sheer delight,
our hopes are glorious with no time for worries.

We're off on a journey to stake our claim,
the winds will soon shift in our direction;
We'll never be lost as long as we live,
every day is filled with love and affection.
I found this among my older pieces...it was an "homage" to my husband and our everlasting love. I could change it, but I'll keep it short and sweet !  FEM

After
nine
I
got caught crying
mother
went straight
for
the
vernacular
her
tongue is truly
spectacular.

Falling in love with you
Tonight kissing you
Softly under the moonlight
Holding hands all night
And watching the stars
Shining so bright it's just
A beautiful sight and
Listening to our
Heart's beating in perfect
Harmony all through the starry night and I am smitten with you
And I can't bear to be apart from you and your love means the world to you bring so much
Happiness and joy into my life
And I'll love you for the rest
Of my life.
True Love ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

Dear death,

I have met life,
He wants me to fight,
But I'm so weak-
So can we meet?

i'm losing friends like i'm losing sleep
apologies don't work, and neither do sheep
don't go, because i want you to stay
but don't lie to me, you're leaving someday
