Her Day

On a hot summer day, 
her birthday. 
There was a man 
who took hours 
making a beautiful 
ice sculpture 
of his love 
who long ago 
passed away.

As she melts, 
both with water 
running down their face 
he expressed everything 
he could and couldn't 
Before,say.  
How his 
"love for her 
will never fade". 
And how she 
"still lives 
in his heart 
to this very day".

Camp surrounded with her favorite colored lamps and preferred plants with tears he laughed raised his hands
fell into a trance ask heaven for even the smallest of chance, 
"for just one more dance".   

Destiny, on his mind
as planets aligned,
Wine,Chimes, 
Rhythm and Rhymes offered 
up as gifts to the divine.  

Venus now raises 
in aries, 
a chalice full of sherry as I burn
bushes of rosemary,blueberries and cherries invoking 
every elemental fairy.   

Loving her 
was so natural. 
He now calls upon the power of supernatural 
with mixed mineral granules to make this night magical.   

A feeling of 
pauper to king 
as he puts on her ring. 
Goose bumps all over his skin as a million lighting bugs drift in,on strong winds. 

Whispered 
"I miss you,.. 
I miss you,.. 
I miss you,. 
baby I miss you", 
into amethyst crystal. 

He couldn't, feel more alive.
Heart filled with pride 
He couldn't believe his eyes, as a star descended from the sky.  

A poltergeist 
in an amber soft, 
off white light. 
As he recite's his written rites with all his might.

Her wings open,
He's frozen 
No words to describe what was spoken what a beautiful omen.

Mr. King Author...this is a lovely poem...it shows your versatility that you can show a softer side aside from your edgy raw poems(a perfect example of never judging a book by its cover). I'm not much for critiquing please forgive me, however, I admire Art. I feel it. I tip my hat to you...King Author or a Knight in Shining Amour(Nice play on words with your name). Nicely done.

Thank you for the compliment , im glad you like my work. Some of my other stuff is raw but all a work in progress....

[Everett DeValle]

Sorry, for the late response bro...I was in deep thought...I get in a zone when I write...and I'm cleaning house...Nevertheless, I like raw and I started the same way many moons ago...so I respect your art...I rather read you than someone proclaiming how grand they are because they are published or this or that...I get it...its not what I came for...its soul...simple as that...and your work has a lot of character and soul that I look at that inspires me. Its just my subjective taste.

All work is in progress and we continue to evolve to progress...you are very welcome my friend. ~Ev

Funny people think i try to grandstand when im writing, but the way i write is the way i talk(speak)....even had a writing teacher tell me to dumb it down...dude, like really.....

[Everett DeValle]

Lol F**k that...do you, bro...I believe writers evolve in their own time...many ups and down...and you get your aha moments...same here, I write how I speak...at least you take classes...I was self taught...hey, feel free to check my page and mingle with others to connect...I'm not drama person but you'll learn to choose wisely with the friends you make on this site...you have gems to show and I hope others appreciate as I have.

TRUE THAT, I don't want to sound like everyone else....i also believe a poem should have a rhythm to it...doesn't always have to rhyme ..but show me the universes song wind chimes throw your throat....

In poetry...I read anything with an open mind...I don't discriminate...I do gravitate to certain style but that's my personal subjective taste...I agree, I want that OOOMPH...and not the blahzay blahzay...but I get it...I get the art projected...I just don't like when other Poets impose that their poetry is poetry other than what other poets write...I'll listen to the voiceless...and breathe it life...but you'll notice a circle jerk on the site on a daily basis...Be you...and I'm sure you'll be appreciated for your efforts.
