Perhaps We Are Vines...( a collaboration with Trace)

 

Perhaps we are vines

gently intertwined

strong, yet vulnerable

as we nurture tiny buds of loveliness

hearts etched with sunlight…

 

Like a summer morning

dew kissed and glistening

diamond light

           melting

                  into ribbons of delight…

 

Wrapping us in poetic ecstasy

 

Leaves quiver,

flowers bloom

and seasons change…

 

                 We have changed

                         

Still, we remain

gently intertwined 

                   

                    Perhaps we are vines….

                                     

Growing stronger

as buds bloom to beautiful flowers

beckoning to be adorned

           by dreamers

                       and lovers

and those longing to dress their worlds

         in romantic colors of bliss…

 

So when evening falls

and the sun sets on a misty shore

the essence of the bloom will

                    shimmer

as stars dance in the sky

in a serenade of sweet lullabies

         weaving delicious dreams

            til petals fall

                 like rain

 

in the softest shower of possibilities

 

Certain  when morning comes

with the dew

         and the hope

of the next new bud to surely bloom again…

 

still we remain

with a poem in our hearts

 

Perhaps we are more than vines…

 

                          Perhaps…

        we are star-crossed

Another gorgeous poetic duet from you two. So seamless and so perfetly written. This one wrapped around me like Queen Anne's Wreath on an old wooden arbor. (I am the old arbor) :) Julie and Trace, how you write these, I don't know. How long you write these, I hope forever.

[MsJewel]

You two make a great poetic team… a really sweet and sensual poem indeed. You are the Sonny and Cher of romantic poetry.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind words...Can I be Cher? Hugs, Julie

I would hope that you would be, I don't think Trace would look good in a wig, LOL

[MsJewel]

Probably better than I would look in a big dark brown mustache!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I think you would even make that look good.

Once again you two show your capable of writing very beautiful poetry together, the possibilities are endless between you two when it come to share some more beautiful one with us.

[MsJewel]

Thank you sweet Larry :) Julie

Very nice, and a lovely collaboration again. I love the showers line as well, now I am going to go out on a limb and question the star crossed line, which conjures a negative image when the rest of the poem is about strength and growing together. Personally, I would leave it off all together, or change it to something like "written in the stars" -- but, as always, poetic license prevails.

[Trace]

Perhaps this is more about friendship
And the feelings we share between us.
Than flowers and vines.

And perhaps we feel that as friends ....
We are star crossed

It's something Julie and I understand.

[Lyn Anderson]

Okay, didn't want to step on toes or anything ...

[MsJewel]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment :) Julie

Oh the softest shower of possibilities.
I just love that word: possibilities
Is there a better word? Yes.

LOVE

Beautiful, thank you for letting me float on your words. : )

Anytime "beautiful lady with the beautiful heart"
I guess "Julie" is shorter though that's why you call yourself that. ;-)
