Lighthouse

Love is a lighthouse

My love lives in a lighthouse,
and it lies in lavender
clover;
Cheek to pillowed breast;
we'll watch the clouds
turn into sailboats
and he'll strum the sun
from the strings
of his guitar.

He'll sing me in love
from a balcony blue,
over the umbrella coast,
where life is like
a song
in Etta James heaven
and it will be ok
to grow old because
we'll have each other.

At noon We'll drink
till our blood
is wine rich,
then We'll send our
drunken songs
out over the ocean.

We'll put daisy's
in glassware and set
them on the table, then
We'll take out the old
phono and our favorite
albums,
 and We'll tap our toes
 on the good hardwood
with our friends.

At dusk our poetry
will strike the beacon
and send it lightspeed
 out over the welcoming waves;
 in praise; for the gull
filled dawn and another
day I get to be with you.

. oh, this is lovely ... gorgeous and ravishing is how you'll spend your day ... i'll be smiling for the rest of the week just thinking about this supremely romantic poem ... and "wine rich" shall be my new favourite poetic expression ... :) ...

If I was to pick a song of choice for this read, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyzCccndc2w&feature=colike the drifters just seem so right for this and The Drifters might have had this in mind, under the boardwalk.

Very beautiful and a serene picture here. I do not think it is silly. Of course I am a romantic at heart. All my stuff is silly lol. Very well written here. I am going to put this in my library and read it again.

Not silly, but fun and light-hearted. I'd like to crash your party of wine and waves! You paint a beautiful picture.

Wonderful...I wish more folks could be this silly! Great descriptive writing and romantic to the artistic sense of the word.

[Elizabeth Pegues]
