I'll give it my best shot...
We share our passion
In intimate metaphor
Our souls placed upon the page
Hearts revealed within our words

i
we share our passion
in intimate metaphor
living poetry
words that breathe our every thought
through distance too thin to touch

ii
green buds on gray twigs
purple flowers show above
warming vernal earth
life bursting from silent death
and the heart of living sleep

iii
singing brook racing
gravity to the great lake
spring’s liberation
passing through the cold stone wall
to fill passion’s thirsty sea

I enjoy a good challenge.

we share our passion
in intimate metaphor
living poetry
Words written seductively
Producing steamy energy

green buds on grey twigs
purple flowers show above
warming vernal earth
Alluring scent of lilac,
Beauty, in smell and sight

singing brook racing
gravity to the great lake
spring’s liberation
To a glacier feed freedom
Refreshing to the bare skin

from it's winter time playmate
come join the celebration

living poetry
together, yet far apart;
bringing forth great miracles.

1) worlds apart bought together
two souls unite as one

2) Sun warms, gentle breeze caress
Springtine is here, Oh what Bliss!

3)lazy clouds float serenely
Such a day dreams were made for.

(smile) Thanks for the challenge John.. Loved trying it out..
