MIST ON A ROSE

reflections of love

MIST ON A ROSE

 

I always reflect on your stellar smile

Each time I see a pearl of mist on a rose

A sniff of gardenia

When the moon has a halo

A purple sunset

When I bury myself in our silken sheets

My face on your crumpled pillow

Each time our fiery skin flares

When you peek into my eyes

With your opaque blue gaze

And dark long eyelashes

I always reflect on your stellar smile

When you are devoid of my arms

One of the things I like about your Poetry is your interesting unique way of turning a phrase. Like 'fiery skin flares' and 'devoid of my arms'. I'll look for one of those pearls on the mist ... sounds beautiful!

Such delight and devotion, Betty! Being with or without someone loved so intensely, comes a meld of passion for the now, both glorious or sad memories made or in the making. Truly admire the way you lay your words.

What a beautiful rose along with your beautiful poem, Betty

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Betty... the Moon is always there... in different phases...
the Quietness of a Sky where dreams are tucked in Clouds...
a soft Mist of green becomes a scent of Apple Pie that Grandma baked
in the middle of an earthquake... your poetry brought memories of
love and comfort when accompanied with the flight of orchestrated Rhapsodies. softly, Pat

The essence of our love and how it fills my heart with joy and longing. It reminds me of the beauty in nature and how it reflects the beauty of our connection. A beautiful expression of our love.

The power of love to evoke emotions and memories even in the absence of the loved one, and how the simplest of triggers can bring back a flood of feelings and images.
