love

valentine's day is only a couple weeks away!

you are the stem

holding up everything meaningful in my life

my bridge over a psychedelic and frothy sea

of life’s indifference

the prologue to yesterday’s hopes

and the climax of today’s exciting story

a splendiferous orchestration

of all i need

in a word……love!

hmmm I think Cupid is having it's way with you Lydi... LOVE, a 4 letter word that actaully makes the world go round and round or as you say. "a splendiferous orchestration" and its a soulful tune too... but you know valentines day is mainly for those who only love once a year, you on the other hand do love and get love 24/7/365... which of course make for very "nice" in your world and by extention ours!!! ~~redzone

Love makes MY world go round.....and I hope it always will. Indeed, many only show the romance in their hearts on 2/14 every year. I feel sad for them. Thank you for stopping by, Curt. Enjoy the weekend. Lydi**

Love can indeed be expressed by a precious flower. Like how it is beautifully depicted in this lovely piece. Nicely written. 😊

This poem would make a wonderful note for a special someone on Valentine's Day. What I really enjoy about this piece is that you emphasize the union of the lovers in the flower metaphor. The stem has just as much important and meaning as the flower. Together, they are perfectly balanced. Your line "holding up everything meaningful in my life" is a perfect way to describe love.

I don't think it has ever been said better,

(although, I have tried)

"a splendiferous orchestration of all i need"

Wow, I wish I had have said that......

You amaze. Trace

dear Lydi... One long stemmed red rose...
represents a love of strength and courage
to endure the high seas of romance...
renewed and devoted to lovely mango
sunsets and passionate wisps of eternal
bliss. truly... Pat

You must love to write as finely as this. And that is what it is fine in every meaning of that word.
