For 90 Summers

I knew I'd love her
For 90 summers.
Through the storms
In her darting eyes
Through the tornadoes
Swirling in her chambered heart.
Through the chills on
A brilliant, bright day.
I knew I'd love her
When she saw this boy
And stared back
And smiled sunshine

Swirling in her chambered heart.

Love has a way of turning our blood into wine, and we become completely inebriated from it. Our vision becomes rose colored and beauty is magnified. Would that all of life for all our days could be such bliss. Love the sunshine of her smile!

Absolutely, dear girl. You are wise.

Wow, this was strong; very solid stuff. Loved the title, and I came in with a faint idea of what the piece might be about, then you took it and made something fantastic out of a light expectation. I really, really dig this!

70 years. That's a milestone. And, yes. I, too, wonder what that's like.

Thanks for taking time to share your thoughts.

Passion shows through in the words 90 summers alone. I also like the lines pointed out by Silente. This is good stuff. :)

[Nipplegrinder]

Ahhh. Thank you, my friend. I truly appreciate that.

That is quite good... Like, wow... Tornadoes of swirling chambered hearts... Sunshine in darting eyes... 90 summers later... This will still be a classic write...

[Nipplegrinder]

I'm humbled by your compliments. Thank you so much, Sil.

[apennylate]
