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

This is with out a doubt one of your very best poems and one of my absolute favorites.
The flow is tranquil and the rhyme pattern is perfect,
but the content far outshines the technical aspects of this piece.

You never cease to amaze with your talent.
I hope this is the first poem in your book of poetry, and I hope to be the first to get the first autographed copy.

Simply love this.
HUGGS. .... Trace
