ours

if you were mine,
i'd let you know
every day.
i'd take you down to
the path by the lake,
where the sun weaves through the trees
and pierces us blind.
to the shore,
where the gulls scream their ire
and our breath mimics
the crash of the wave.
every line
would have your name.
in summer,
we'll let the grass tickle our feet
and walk along the warm paving stones
of our home street.
a cat that clambers through the window,
soaked by the sudden shower.
stranger, all this is ours.

Your portrayal has me wishing I could go to this place. When the writer gets the reader wishing they were at the places described in the poem,story,ect, they've really accomplished something.
Bravo

I love it! Very simple and sweet, and beautifully written. My favorite line is "in summer,we'll let the grass tickle our feet and walk along the warm paving stones
of our home street." Well done!
