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

Love can mingle any two opposite directions or destinations even if both come from different culture ( East and West ) together into a one and universal language of love. The setting , the imagery and the wordings are all great...Thank you for sharing...:)

This is like a gentle breeze through a wind chime, Jack - love the format and the parallels of "her/East" and "him/West". Though I have to say, flip flops freak me out... :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rita. Flip flops?

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes. That thing between the toes, feet completely exposed - c'mon, that's not a shoe! :) LOL!

This is just... Well, simply stunning, Jack. I followed the breeze of melancholy wishes, and hopes brought with the morning sun. I could read this each morning and it would settle my frantic mind to ease into the day with a brighter spirit.
"Fondling the morning's sweet greeting" okay, I really love all of the poem, but that line widened my smile.

Thank you so much my good friend. Always my smile follows your sweet words.
