Poem Artwork

 

Kiss me while the rainbow covers
us in its promise, while the heavens
are still magnanimous

Don't take your arms from around me
until the last dew-drop falls from the
leaves, and the wind stops its sigh
through the trees

Let us remember the sweet bed of love
as we seal the vaults of contentment
to keep us safe from coming wars in
the firmament

Hold me close my love, plant the seeds
that unite our substance so we may grow
precious blooms, for within my bosom
is the need to nurture

Let the petals of perfection open to admit
the glorious goodness that all creation
yearns for, life in the contentment
of love  everlasting

~etw

Beautiful expression here, Eileen, and a wonderful, mature romantic vantage point from which to view it. This speaks of a love that has already travelled there-and-back again; one that has known fulfillment and potential realised - and, within all that, still has a long way to go and much more to experience and accomplish. A realist's view within the atmosphere of the romantic. The act of love fully achieves in its desire to create, beget and nurture. xx

OK, Just don't be late.

Still magnanimous through the trees, the firmament, is the need to nurture everlasting love. <---The last lines of each stanza and you still say it all.

Eileen,
Those opening words just killed me, the sweetest, richest death, and everything after is just as good. For me, this is way up there, stellar and glorious. Kudos seems lame, but Kudos!
