Marmalade Skies

Marmalade Skies

A Poem by Jack...
"

Each morning my gift is your love

"

 

 

Marmalade Skies

 

 

 

~Marmalade skies~

 

one spoon at a time they feed

the morning horizon

Soft offerings of color

picked ripe from the vine

 

~Cantaloupe dreams~

 

a small slice of moon

the dawn’s crescent smiles on me

with a Cheshire grin

cocked slightly to the side

 

~Plum pudding blankets~

 

suspended above life, moving slowly

but coming of the day

as alarms break the solitude

nestled in down pillows

 

~Raspberry whispers~

 

singing the scent

of the fresh sunrise dew

on wishes coated in sparkling splendor

and footprints beyond the gate

 

~Nectarine blessings~

 

sweet on my lips

beneath an orchard arbor

I hold you close of my morning

and taste the bounty of your love

Thank you so much my friend.
As a huge Beatles fan, your title caught my attention right away (tis a phrase from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds). I love the picture you included with the poem. It helped me to visualize exactly what you were describing.
