Bright February Day

A love poem ...

Spring is just starting to bloom

The sun bright and stong in the sky

And birds singing bright in the trees

My mind watching clouds drifting by

A moment of peace in this world

A time to let thoughts fill my head

Just sitting with sunlight beside me

As I lay so quiet on my bed

You float in my mind from afar

And your touch caresses my cheek

I sense your perfume surround me

And I glance for the lover I seek

I ache for you there in my arms

With passion so strong and so deep

Without you here at this moment

I feel salty tears as I weep

You are all my life and my love

Without you…a hole in my heart

For you presence is soothing to me

I hate it when we are apart

But soon you will walk through the door

And your smile will brighten my soul

And as I hold you so close

At last once again I am whole

sweet romantic thoughts and feelings come across strongly in this poem and and the last two lines are pefect.
it is so true, when the one you love comes home again - the part that once was missing is now whole. This is a feeling all lovers know and can relate to.

Well done

Jen

Especially liked hole in heart and/whole. Dynamic switch from observing spring in a happy way to then feeling sad, but then ending on an upnote. Your anticipation and awareness of the spring is fantastic.

The emotions that your poetry always brings to me is so sweet, I remember those same feelings too and sometimes I get out "his" shirt and wear it and other times I get mad and throw it across the room. LOL

I'm such a wussy girl....

From the acrostic queen to the love poem king....brilliant as always...
I think we need to clone your romantic heart Phil and spread them out to all the men in the world...

Beautiful tender poem, I'm shedding salty tears with you, it makes my heart ache with longing to feel this for someone and have them feel this way too. You are such a romantic man Phil and it exudes from your beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading this , love your description of the world outside on what sounds like a wonderful spring day.
