To Wish and Dream

~ a love poem ~

~~~

To wish and dream as I have done

on moonlit nights ‘til morning sun

embraces us with dew kissed skies

and finds us new as a sunrise

 

As new my love as springs delight

of blushing pink and purest white

of winds that curl the tallest trees…

Come closer love and catch the bees

 

hiding their hive in summer’s heat

when days are long and slow and sweet

a honey tongue, a kiss of wine

and passion fruit upon the vine

 

Ripe to the lips, soft to the sight

graciously to love invite

the shades of fall ‘til winter snow

finds nights as long as summer’s slow

 

And I will lift the tender veil

of darkest joys and those as pale

as the soft breast that holds you near

when days of new turn old my dear

 

For in my veins life streams again

these cherished days and nights of when

I wished and dreamed as I had done

and found love new, like morning sun

 

Stay with me love or it will seem

that all I’ve done is wish and dream

dear Julie... my favorite line is
"Come closer love and catch the bees...
hiding their hive in summer's heat
when days are long and slow and sweet"...
You have given us a lantern of hope
in colors of dreams... to sip the
sweet honey of summer's love. truly... Pat

dearest Julie... when love was as natural as pink clover in the late spring
when cool breezes give us romantic melodies. Your poetry is as lovely as
a sunset laying on the horizon of nocturnal breasts where love rests in
eternal dreams. truly, Pat

Another sigh-worthy poem from your pen. Spring is used so eloquently here:

As new my love as springs delight
of blushing pink and purest white
of winds that curl the tallest trees…
Come closer love and catch the bees

[MsJewel]

You are very kind. Thank you for the wonderful comment :) Julie

In your poem you are so in love and you can only think of your love as a true lover would do. The huge out flowing of exciting emotions you transmit is held together brilliantly in the classical format of the structure of your words. There is a lot of love here, it shines in fact.

[MsJewel]

I'm thrilled you felt this one Leigh. Thank you and have a beautiful day :) Julie
