Love's Ascent

A Poem by Sandi Alford

Clandestine afternoon was spent
beside the jagged rocks, entranced
by love’s awakening ascent.

With senses heightened and enhanced
inside the refuge of your arms--
my heart aflutter as it danced.

You beckon all your calling charms
that mark a tempestuous trail--
no snapping twig or sound alarms.

Powerless to this grand assail
breathless and scorched, in need of air--
which sanity would not avail.

To muster strength I shall not bear
while encircled in utter bliss--
A kiss as this is all too rare.

Deluge of rapids went amiss
while encircled in utter bliss--
Clandestine afternoon was spent
by love’s awakening ascent.

I think.
in all the mountain trails I've hiked
I have yet to see such beautiful cascades!

wonderful rhythm and rhyme

mother nature works her wonder
from drive in shows to river's thunder
and sweet the bliss of nearing kiss
as hope's assurance alights on this
that in a place where rocks abound
heart's fresh flowering can be found
so thanks for sharing this sweet rhyme
in waltzing meter tapping time
and even if my comments blunder
we'll all remember river's thunder
