Clouds of Pink

~ a romantic scribble ~

~~~

When evening comes and clouds of pink

like cotton candy dreams

float visions of a softer time

a fantasy it seems

 

of soft pastels and fragile lace

sweeping the fading sky

as summer heat on cooling wind

breathes the sweetest goodbye

 

While ocean waves begin to dance

in white upon the shore

I’ll find our spot where wildflowers

the ones that I adore

 

growing in veils of ivory white

and gently as they sway

I’ll pick a bunch and wrap them up

in a lovely bouquet

 

Memories of a summer day

that passed with just a blink

and leaving me, when evening comes

dreaming of clouds of pink…

Cotton Candy Dreams? That's interesting!

Strongly pen'd up. You already know how to value the words by shaping 'em with thoughts.. it's marvelous & perfectly a romantic lullaby belonged to your "Cotton Candy-Dreams" (Just teasing you). Excellent work!

Cotton candy dreams are the sweetest of dreams! My mother used to wish me "clouds of pink and cotton candy dreams"... I wrote this in tribute to her. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. :) Julie

You momma had a very great perception 'bout the anticipation of your brightest future life belonged to the thread of literature. She had already envisioned you jumping right ov'r the "Cotton Clouds".. on having the victory of full-fill-ment of your dreams so I guess, 'tis's why she already used to wish you beautiful "clouds of pink & cotton candy dreams" where you live real nicely. You give a very great tribute to her. Your poetic talent's quite amazing as far as I got this in few days so... I guess, you'll be going something great with life.. in your future. Wish you much luck for your career! Keep it up!

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind and generous words. Poetry is a hobby- but one I adore.

[Adam Adams]

Don't want to make your career in literature? (Mind me askin' you if it's not too much to ask... )

[MsJewel]

I would love to - but after six years of college, my careers pretty much set!

[Adam Adams]

Long Time ~ Very long time. Anyway... sometimes.. some things're meant to happen only with time so.. wishing you again much luck for your success wherever you want to achieve in with goodness.

Your romantic scribbles are what I live for these days, Julie. I have missed reading your poetry and like Trace, for the few minutes I get to read your writes I get lost and most of the time, never want to leave.

A divine, sensual romantic scribble as always - truly gorgeous!

nothing like a beautiful sunset...something like that sky after a storm has left...in the aftermath of something violent, mother nature submits something gorgeous for us to see.
