yes

the blue lady” by monique edwards

courtesy of paintoutsidethelines of etsy.com

when the storms of my summer

triumph over my usual aplomb

you allow me to take shelter

beneath your branches of wisdom

when dusk and twilight

become sullen darkness

the light in your eyes sparkles

leading me to a better place

through darkened twisting lanes

you will always be the light in the window

at the end of my path

yes, mon amour, i love you

I enjoyed how you arranged this love poem into three distinct parts: First he’s a protective tree, second he’s the moon and stars piercing the darkness that enfolds around you, and third he’s a guide helping you navigate through the maze of life. Each verse has four orderly lines that stick to the same subject without straying.

Beautiful Lydi...soothing and so gentle. After all the chaos, a focal point, more than that, the focus of love, superb x

[Lydia Shutter]

[Troy Henson]

Love is deep and when found embraces us with a feeling so warm and treasured. May the love that you speak of be something we all find and hold on to and deliver life to us in the light it should be. This is a beautiful write Lydi

A love that endures all is not the norm, but when it is found, it is cherished. Thank you Troy. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

Lydi... I think I shall never read
a poem as lovely as twinkling blue eyes...
the warmth and tenderness of wisdom
personified. When storms overtake us
and lightening strikes... the branches of
love protect our heart and soul as we heal
and bloom once again. Your poetry is
gentle and is a soothing balm. truly... Pat

[David Scott]

Thank you for a lovely poem and a new word in my vocabulary. I have never used the word aplomb before.
It is interesting how a loved one can bolster our self confidence.

What a wonderfully romantic love poem Lydi. Each line sparkled metaphors, but I was drawn to the last verse, to the "light in the window", expressing understated passion with small and simple words.... oh Lydi, to love and be loved in this way.. sigh, nice, niCE, NICE!!!
