In the shadows of the day's desires

A simple "Good morning" can brighten the entire day...

 

In the shadows of the day’s desires

 

 

In the east…

 

Sitting on a balcony

Mingling in posy laced dreams

Flip flops cooled by morning zephyrs

A fresh cup filled to ease her endless pain

Thoughts now percolate in bubble induced questions

Rising with the sun, alone…in shadows of the day’s desires

Phrases wrap as beauty evolves from beauty within

Sweet words to caress a distant heart

The call of songbirds sifts softly

In echoes of pleasure’s pace

As time races

 

                      ~                     

 

And comes to pass of destined bliss

Sweet thoughts of that lone single kiss

To touch the heart neath feathered skies

A’ bloom this flower in your eyes

 

As morning wakes so do the smiles

Horizons cast across the miles

When words of waiting now display

To share your deepest thoughts this day

 

 ~

 

Lounging on a patio

Breathing in the loneliness

Counting white spider lily fingers

Swaying to the rhythm of creek fed waters

Longing for that first glimpse of lemon zest glow

Rising with the sun, alone…in shadows of the day’s desires    

His mind escaping down honeysuckle pathways

Rebooting his heart while wind chimes call

Fondling the morning’s sweet greeting

Dancing before his needy eyes

As time slows…

 

In the west

This is truly beautiful and a bit melancholy - I found myself lingering on the imagery - especially
Counting white spider lily fingers
Swaying to the rhythm of creek fed waters
Longing for that first glimpse of lemon zest glow
Rising with the sun, alone…in shadows of the day’s desires

that was a beautiful passage and it set the tone for me.

Ahhh, this is so romantically imbued I just might swoon. I love the construct of the poem as well, it's so inviting. I found each and every verb you used in this poem to be entrancing as your poem danced in the sunlight. A stunning effort.

[Jack...]

Good Morning Anne and thank you so very much for your kind words. I am happy you enjoyed it and if it made you swoon, then it was well worth the effort.

I should write a bunch of *sighs* across the page, and I think you'd know how lovely and affecting thi is...your imagery here blows me away and I get lost in your words Jack. Morning's dancing desires, what's better than that my friend? Splendid!

Jack this is another perfectly sublime piece of poetry written with the skill of a passionate craftsman. Its meter and rhyme are sublime as is the balence of the parted lovers and their connection with the sun.

[Jack...]

Thanks John, I appreciate it.
