he

love....nothing else quite like it

graphic courtesy of pinterest

the dandelions he picks
instantly become roses
he

finds meaning in café windows
then writes poetry with clouds
on the inky sky

kisses my mind with inspiration
tickles my tongue
with the perfect mélange
of naughty and nice

intrigues my curiosity
with a smile
makes me blush the color of wine
till i feel my own pulse beneath my skin

dresses me in acceptance
accessorizes me with understanding
hands me the carnelian sunset
he loves me

Reviews

[David Scott]

There is nothing quite like love Lydi. Interestingly, it seems we deny ourselves the experience of love far too often. We all can experience more love in our lives if only we would embrace the garden where it lives within. Yet, thankfully, there are people placed in our paths to remind us how loved we are and how it feels to accepted and understood. These people, "he" or she, can be a symbol and catalyst of love, but the reality seems to be, (IMO), love was a light always shinning, like a "carnelian sunset", within our being.
Still, how delicious is it to feel loved? How ethereal, to look into a mirror with wonderment and bliss to proclaim the power of love in your life.
Enjoy your dandelions. ;)
Great love poem!

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, yes, I believe love is all around us and too many people ignore it. Too many think love is just a myth. Thank you for your in depth review....your viewpoint is so refreshing. Lydi**

[David Scott]

Sorry if I blabbed on too much. You seem to inspire me to flourish thoughts upon the page. I have been trying to keep it simple lately... ;)
I do love your way of painting love with a gentle impressionistic "pallet" of words.

[Lydia Shutter]

David, you can say as much as you want. I love reading your reviews. thank you again for the compliments. Lydi**

[David Scott]

I fear I will always "say as much as I want" and then some... ha. Thank you for your graciousness.
Have a blessed evening.

Love is a beautiful thing and you have expressed such a love within each line of this poetic piece..simply lovely

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks very much, Fran Marie. Lydi**

Lydi, your words are a constant flowing river of love. It is my good fortune when your fluid poetry leaves the banks allowing me to drown in them happily. Also, I must say, "he" is one lucky guy.

[Lydia Shutter]

I will tell him you said so, Will! :) thank you very much. Lydi**

[willweb]

Oh, I'm sure he already knows. :)

When it comes to love poetry, you hit the ball out of the park every single time. Your words are timeless, my friend. They always strike the deepest chord ..and leave me in a happy, magical place. There is nothing like love, and there is nothing quite like your poetry either!

[Lydia Shutter]

No, there is nothing like love...it makes us feel all things are possible and everything is right in the world. Thank you so much for your review, Sanober....you make me feel special. Lydi**

Such a beautifully written poem. I especially like 'the dandelions he picks instantly become roses.'
Love indeed transforms.

Beccy.

You know it, Beccy. Thank you so much. Lydi**

'.. with the perfect mélange - of naughty and nice .. '

What a beautiful poem, it's full of delight and sincerity.: every word's a kiss, every pause is perfect.
If only a touch of that magic could spread the world, Lydi.

Lovely accompanying picture and sweet lay-out.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Emma. Lydi**

Anything that ends in prosperity and good luck must be worth it especially in the sun! Love of art and the artist painted on another canvas that in my mind looked like the beautiful impressionist picture you used Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

I do love to find artwork that goes along with my words. Thank you for noticing that, John. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wow, "dresses me in acceptance/ accessorizes me with understanding"--

i would like to find a love that would do that for me...then i definitely would be kissed with inspiration.

beautifully metaphorical...

and often poets do write poetry with cloudss...the ones with much precipitation.


of course he loves you, he would be crazy not to.

[Lydia Shutter]

Jacob, after 39 years, my hubby and i both feel very fortunate we found one another. Life has many potholes and bumps, but we have gotten through them together and that makes life worthwhile. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. Lydi**

[Bare Trees]

You write all of your poems with such style and elegance. I think it reflect the art you post with the poem.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Tim. I try to find a graphic I feel matches my words. Thanks for noticing. Lydi**
