 Love…

 

To lay my head a moment ‘pon his chest

a serenade of two hearts intertwined

that takes us far above the restless night

where only heaven waits, we move as one

I’ll count the stars reflection in his eyes

and  know each wish was only that for love

 

Each breath between us sweet

oh precious one…

                                hold me close as midnight sheds her dew      

 

To wake to pale white lilies standing tall

and buds upon the vine glistening dawn

to catch each falling tear, this pearly morn

as soft as silk yet warm, as he is near

then join him half-awake veiled in our dream

where wishes still shine true in loving eyes…

Julie,
I don't know where to begin. If I say this is the most beautiful poem of love between a man and a woman, I would not be exagerating.
You have a gift young lady. Your writing inspires a bountiful garden of full flowers with soft colors and petals. I truly am in awe of your writing.
Peace,
Richie b.

very romantic ..to awaken with no regrets ...morn after morn ... still in love is precious beyond the words ... on the whole your poem seems to be undecided whether to rhyme or not ..whether to go full on free verse or not ... reading it the second time pausing where it felt right worked better for me ..rather than at the end of lines etc. ... like prose :) happy to see you posted anew Ms. Jewel ...

I was trying something a bit different - paying attention to the syllables but doing so without the rhyme. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. :) Julie

So very moving and filled with emotion. It almost seems to be speaking of a love that has passed away,
"To wake to pale white lilies standing tall and buds upon the vine glistening dawn to catch each falling tear" It could just be the sentimental mood I am in but regardless, this poem is beautiful and touching beyond measure!

[MsJewel]

Yes, it was speaking of a love now in heaven.. Thank you for your insightful words dear Dara :) Julie

[Baby Ricochet]

Wonderful! Considering the fact that it didn't rhyme it had a good flow.
The color of the text surely added to the romance and tranquility of the poem,
There was something very infinite - practically magical in this poem.
Thank you for sharing, had a great read :)
