A Place to Rest on Reckless Waves

Tucked in the corners of your kiss...

The Sweet Harbor of your heart where 

passions embark upon a voyage to 

Islands where pineapples grow and 

mangoes smile with succulent tenderness 

of wind and sky as storm clouds gather 

where romance dances in tango moments...   

I am forever embedded in your smile and 

soft understanding eyes that reflect the 

raindrops from Angel's tears where love 

can mingle and kisses toss and turn  

on every adventure under the Sun...

Your writing here resembles the tumbling turning ever-changing feel of the sea with waves rolling in & light changing constantly. Strong analogy for the way life can be topsy-turvy in a good way . . . it can be liberating to stop analyzing where something is going & just follow where life leads & feel it & enjoy it. That's what your rolling stream of imagery says to me. Loosen those white knuckles & plunge into the roller coaster ride of life (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dearest Margie... during this Hot Spell on the East Coast... it is refreshing to think of the Ocean and Inlets on Islands where a romantic breeze takes you to places of secluded hideaways. We need to boost our morale and imagine healing as a solution.
Thank you as always for sharing your delicious views from your home on the hill
tucked in the trees with furry friends. Be brave and stay safe. With Berry much love and admiration. tenderly, Pat

That , dear petal, is what life and love means.. and beautiful. If I were about to sleep, those words would bring such wonderful dreams. Thank you as ever always. Hugs. Keep safe.. and, love to you both.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... I love reading your words in the light of a Candle in a Chapel where prayers are sent to Mary who was and is always there. I say this in a poetic way... and yet there is so much truth in poetry that touches our heart where troubles bloom like flowers in the rain. The thunder and the lightening came and rescued the land that is parched by pouring down the blessings that will save us one and all. Love to our Angel where prayers abide. Tenderly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Such a lovely response, thank you, dear, dear petal. Wishing you both a sweet and safe Thursday x,

Thank you John for reading my
Poem... it would be refreshing to be on a tropical Island where the air is free to breathe carefree without worry. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Pat.

[Lorry]

Sounds like a happy heart to me Pat, and they've got mangoes too, where do I sign up?
If we get embedded in a smile, then we must have done something right, right?

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lorry.. yes, tropical food and drinks of Coconut Milk would be Great after a Nap and a swim in the Waves... No ticket is needed ... just follow the Stars ... thank you for encouraging me. gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Your lines dear Pat tell me how incredibly fortunate you are with your other half. I would also imagine him to feel the same. Your poetic expression is always superb. Reading you is always like being gifted the cherry on top of the icing. I am more than grateful for that.

Fondly
Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Chris... I am twitterpated by your review. Until I discovered a poem site where we could express our feelings... life was much more of a struggle. Poetry is a Journal written in the Sky where Angels fly.
on their way through the Milky Way. Be blessed and stay well and safe. tenderly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

I love your thoughts Pat. Have a beautiful day, the pair of you :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Chris...!have you heard the song, “Bring in the Clowns” ? It is so inspiring and the way Love should be. Thank you Chris for your encouragement as life unfolds. We just had a. Old fashioned lightening and thunderstorm and finally had a lot of Rain... our grass was brown like Summer Wheat and very very Hot in the 90’s. Hope you have had enough Rain across the Pond. tenderly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

We have had rain. Our grass is still green. Beautiful day today. Pleased you have got some too. Sounds as though it is much needed Pat. Yes I know Bring in the Clowns. Judy Collins , I think :) Lovely song.

[Patricia Wedel]

Chris... the sweetest Song is yet to be sung... with your inspiration ... your Pen May magically bring us those words that bring peace and love 💕 Amen... Pat

[Chris Shaw]

I have come back to read your uplifting and soft words again Pat. No new poems from you recently, so just wanted to say I am thinking of you and yours. Have a lovely day. We are in the middle of a really wet spell, but our gardens are loving it.

[Patricia Wedel]

Chris.. I sent you a message.., Pat

[Davidgeo]

You're extremely underrated.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Mr. Dave... being under-rated is so much better than being Over-rated. I read a few of your poems and I am not certain how to respond.. other than to say... you are searching for “Meaning” and that is the essence of Life. truly, Pat

[Davidgeo]

I'm not searching for anything. I just wanted to pay you a compliment. You don't have to read any of the trash I post.... that you assume that.... well... It was nice talking to you.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dave... my son has feelings such as yours and I do understand. I was so sheltered when I was growing up that I did not experience the 50’s when most young people were flower children and became entwined with learning to Cope with feelings. I consider your writings to be sacred because you and others see a world in turmoil and it is your way to share and cope. My way to cope is more mystical in a romantic way. So now that we have a “meeting of the minds”... I will comment in my style... hope you smile. tenderly, Pat

[Davidgeo]

If it makes you feel better, we are all of us sheltered. Even the "unsheltered" are sheltered in the label of being unsheltered. Your interpretation of life is no less valuable than anyone else's. It's almost all unique, if only very slightly.

Writing poetry gives you a chance to share your feelings... no man is an 🌴 Island. Blessings galore. truly, Pat

A swaying romantic write, Pat. Filled with tropical imagery. So lovely. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi dear... we need to dwell where the waves render peaceful moments... your review is sprinkled with the spray of Ocean dreams where carefree breezes sway in a flamingo dance of Castanets. gently, Pat

[T.S. Ulmus]

What a beautiful tangle of words. You passed on to me both a scene and a feeling.

[Patricia Wedel]

A tangle of words with the singing of Birds will linger in the Inlets in Islands where warm winds bring dreams that paint the sky with lullabies. Thank you for leaving sea shells along the shore. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Some Islands offer quiet moments in Inlets
that wander through shady trees with a
gentle breeze...
