Love invisible
rooted deep within the heart
grows strong like the oak
soft scents of flowers
spring blooms in lovers eyes
desires entangle
This week at Poet’s United we are besting Hallmark with personal expressions of love!!! Love is not a card.
Tag: valentine
It’s just for a day… #poem #photography #valentine
were it for a day
should I gently
place
such a precious thing
recipient of my dreams
in your hands?
*
were it for a day
would I with but single thought
lay
an offering
treat you like a king
at attention would I stand?
*
were it for a day
present for you
a feast
decant my finest wine
give all that is mine
pretend that you are grand?
*
were it for one day
with this
rusty key
I’d offer you my love
poured out from my heart
devotion to one man
The Key took its own direction and as I was meandering toward romantic it was turning another way but I guess in the end we came to an agreement – of sorts.
A most Happy Valentine’s Day. My valentine is far from the moon; the key will have to keep me company.
The Midweek Motif (at Poet’s United) not surprisingly is Heart.
Who would hold the key to yours????
Bleeding heart #poetry #photography #valentine
I took a pose
and beautifully fell
caught by stiff icy arms
elegant red rose
*
I tried to arise
from white blanket cold
no hot house warmth
flower, snow and stone
*
lift me as I groan
nothing can I feel
what once ran free
a bleeding heart alone
*
no tears remain for me
shriveled up and dead
wind blows away at will
valentine’s face this dread
Strengthened by your love #poetry #valentine’sday
Words I write in moon light
Strengthened by your love
Captive of the morn’s night
Words reflect in moon light
Captive of the morn’s night
Set free like dawn’s dove
Words inscribed in moon light
Strengthened so by love
This Triolet is dedicated to lovers on Valentine’s Day and to the Moon!
Poet’s United prompt this week is Committed
Be Mine #Valentine
I gaze into the waters of the Maldives
Crystal clear bluer than blue
I see life that urges me to reach in touch
Purple wisps of the anemone waves to me
Vibrant red of a starfish dares me to play tug of war
Ray skirts the sandy floor
***
I am mesmerized …
Blue eyes reflect the mystery of the stars
Comets fall from the skies into those brilliant eyes
I cannot look away
Enslaved by the vortex like trance
***
I blink and see undulation
Pale blue in comparison
… you are gone
Or were you ever?
Is my mind playing tricks?
The moisture there is from your lips
***
Walking the sandy beach I hear a splash
Dolphins imbibing the sunlight
A giggle escapes
They swim on in their watery escapade
A carefree dance
***
There you are – smiling
Teasing me
corners of your mouth beckoning
Walk with me
Dance with me
Love with me
***
Will we be able to sustain the impact?
When hearts collide
a big bang not in theory
Don’t leave me
Come out of my dreams
***
Be my desire
my companion
Share the sun
Inhale love’s delights
BE
MINE
“At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet” ~Plato

rose petal (for your valentine)
Fragrant

of art
caress
the velvety
softness

heart
***
Draw in
a breath
of all
of me
your love
dear one
will set you
free
