To Wish and Dream

~ a love poem ~

 

art ~ Lauri Blank

 

 

~~~

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

Thank you :) Julie

Stay with me love or it will seem
that all I’ve done is wish and dream... I enjoyed this ending Julie, it pulled me in deeper to the poem as a whole, it gave meaning to why poem was written... all the beauty of the images and metaphors really don't mean more than wishes and dreams if your love is not there to feel them with you. May the wish and dream be wrapped in the smile of reality.... ~~redzone

how you know love so well, so unafraid of it... love writes are the most challenging, I find. You make it a language that Im able to read and understand... and yet here is another stunning piece. you are truly gifted.
