Her Heart was the Forest

I met her where the sunlight kissed the earth

I met her where the golden light 

Filtered the branches of the pine trees.

She came into sight, 

From the sheets of the fog, 

The dew on the grass 

Kissed her bare feet 

Tiny rain drops clung to the curls of her hair 

And on the needle leaves 

And my breath also hung,

With the rain on the trees, 

A realm of diamonds flattering the fairy princess in the sugar-white frock.

The blackbird's song bled 

Into my ears 

Crestfallen loveliness in its sound.

She moved with the breeze of the young spring, 

And invited me to sit on the rock that slept,

Beneath the blanket of moss and yellow flowers. 

I had often rehearsed the stories I had wanted to share,

My plan was to inspire and impress her,

To ask her a hundred questions,

And plead with her to lend me strength and magic and contentment,

But the words had dissolved, 

A sigh lost in the mist of her olive green eyes 

Irises that held the wisdom of a thousand years.

The blackbird trilled,

The clouds stretched and cleared, 

And she stroked my face, below my eye,

With the soft back of her hand,

Her sweet smile was my haven 

Her gratitude was my doctrine 

And her heart was the forest.

Author's Note

I love this woman so much and I'd be happy if this poem flatters her raw beauty even slightly. She already knows how lucky I am to have her by my side. I am thankful and all the warmth and kindness she has invested in me, I want to share with the world as well.
All reviews are welcome. Thank you for reading. <3

This is the epitome of describing someone in a way that demonstrates how much she's adored . . . the ultimate of SHOW instead of tell. I love the gracefulness of how you weave in a ton of sparkling details, as if your words are cradling this stunning precious heavenly creation (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hey
I think StarNinja has already touched upon what I wanted to say.
It's a cute read, one that makes people smile. A little more about the first encounter that set the ball rolling for life in Eden would be appreciated, but that's up to you, depending on what happened and how much you want to share. :)

The comparison between the woman and mother Nature really got me. It was beautiful and as I read through it half of me wondered if you were writing your love to your woman or love for Nature but at the end, it resonated with me on how (at least through my perspective) she is your home, like that feeling when it's just you standing alone in a forest in the morning with flowers alive around you and dew dripping off the leaves. How by being in her presence alone it fills you with a feeling you scarcely feel around anyone else - or anywhere else.

Beautifully done.

Thank you for your beautiful review. I'm happy you enjoyed reading my poem.

I can sense the love and emotion you poured into this. It was evocative and lovely and I can't wait to read more.
The only thing I found on the technical side was that part in the beginning with the golden light. Did you perhaps mean filtered through the branches? Anyways, excellent poem. Three thumbs up!
