Dawning with love

~

If I were there, I would caress your heart with

the thread of a silken cocoon

Stitched now as one on the eve of the weary,

bound by the light of the moon

Careful to touch oh so soft as a feather,

gentle as spider web tears

Keeping you close on the edge of tomorrow,

shielding your soul from the fears

 

Walk by your side neath the uneven shadows,

slanting the way that your see

Quieting sounds from the darkness now calling,

abstract in volumed degree

Dulling the thorns on the stems meant for bleeding,

soften the feel of the pain

Sheltering steps upon pathways we follow,

heavens are threatening rain

 

Dew drop beliefs on the lawn they are waiting,

prisms of lighthearted scenes

Dandelion clouds offer sweet pea protection,

dragonflies float in between

Guarding the gate of a garden now watching,

kite strings of warm summer fire

Singing in echoes, repeating their sonnet,

offering all you desire

 

Though all I have is a poet’s conviction,

spilled now in ink penned to share

Hoping on dreams you will rest in the sunrise,

find a few moments to spare

Taking the hand of this forgotten hero,

trusting in him ever true

No longer lost, as a new day is coming,

dawning with love just for you

What a magical garden of phrases you've grown with just words as seeds, watered with ink. Your soil is love, then as the dreams grow with the sunrise she invites the Gardner to join her in a dandelion cloud. Are magic mushrooms legal there yet? I think you've been eating them out of your garden.

Ha, I don't know if they are legal or not, I haven't asked. : ) No my friend, just high on life (how's that for corny?) Thanks so much for your visit and humbling comments.

You write like a feather - soft, delicate, and true. Your words wing their way straight into the heart. The last two lines really conclude this poem in the loveliest way, like a sun rising in the heart.

A new day is dawning, a day of shared love and confidence. The nights of uncertainty seem to flee in the face of this golden sunrise. I loved all the wonderful words and your spun as silk, beautiful imagery used to express the depths of a romance. Indeed, love turns things around, from doubt to certainty, from bleak to so vibrant. Very well done, dear Willweb!

I am not really into romance but you do such a very fine job, each one is a pleasure to read

[willweb]

Thanks Dave. I appreciate you reading even though it isn't your thing.

[Ken Simm.]

Musical and gossamer. No other words for it. Beautiful love.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Ken

Will, this poem is ethereal, romantic in such a delicate way. It takes me on a dreamlike journey that is hypnotic. So many wonderful images, that to quote them would be to recite the whole poem. The cadence enhances the whole feel as does the simple rhyme scheme. A very pleasant read that leaves a feeling of peace.
