Softer than the Rain

~ a love poem ~

 

Steve Hanks art

 

 

Softer than a touch of rain or dew

that glistened from the clouds in tender skies

your hands, your lips, your caress, I knew

and yet, in your embrace, I felt surprise

 

As if the skies were woven with sunbeams

to tie warming ribbons around my heart

and carry me as lovely as a dream

to gentle storms that wait…when clouds depart…

 

I found it was like spring, the lights divine,

as each sunrise was golden for the one

who only bloomed, this rose upon the vine,

in your embrace and kissed with the sun

 

The greatest gift of all you took, my love

and still, I will always remember you

when storms fall like springtime from above

softer than a touch of rain or dew

"I found it was like spring, the lights divine,
as each sunrise was golden for the one
who only bloomed, this rose upon the vine,
in your embrace and kissed with the sun.."

Your little naked heart`s all full of romance - Sweet-Romance which, I find, very fascinating to your lovers. The title of the beautiful write`s very feathery itself by the romantic sides of your poetry. Every time I walked across your pages, felt much better myself... with your poetic-words, no matter what. Well, I think, your stuffs`re seemed a remedy for heart which helps it getting healed-up with anew wind of peaceful-love.
However, Your put your own desperate heart into your work that`s the excellence of your art. And.. this`s the thing that I adore `bout you. Excellent work as always!

dear Julie... Love is part of nature and
breathes in drops of dew on roses scented
when softly falling rain brings memories of
tender moments. Heaven has blessed us with
your gift that sprinkles romance in celebration
of a garden of passion and love. truly ... Pat

I absolutely love your writing and it comes even more alive with the photos. My favourite line is "as if the sky were woven with sunbeams". Don't stop writing!

The greatest gift that was given, was taken way too soon,
yet will always be remembered.

Love is so powerful,

It is the foundation of our existence,
and your beautiful poetry.

Huggs, Trace

I wonder why it is that we treasure it more once it is taken away. Life's lessons I imagine.
Hugs, julie
