Tenderly Marked Thoughts

 

Bewitching ripples of time pass as I write letters to you

To hang as something beautiful on your walls

Tenderly I mark them with wind that bares my soul

Leaving my presence to stir across your sky

As a shield from rains that fall

Enthralling words to hold forever within your breast

I leave for you as bits of my gentle peace

Lying open on your walls, the richness of my joy

Is left to fall as silver leaves of warmth

Cover cold that will not cease

These inventive fingers would surely leave this earth 

An epic journey they would move to make

To find the words to chase away those hellions

That exist here in this world of chaos

Your peaceful grace to take

When you pass by these letters I have written for you

They will caress you with the echo of my soul

Sweet peace you yearn for, is always here to see

In these thoughts I have tenderly marked

For your own heart to hold

Once again, very creative. I loved how you made simple letters seem more than just that. Words have a power all their own, no matter what anyone else says. You made that statement true by weaving your magic into it. Such lyrical imagery and writing, Neva. Again, I applaud you. Bravo!

An enthralling and creative piece. The feeling of ancient flowing from it, and a magical love story, always heartwarming. :)

Classy piece of work ... but enough about you Neva. Good doesn't quite cover it for this write. It felt personal and sincere as if it was addressed to the reader as an individual. Nicely done.
