And my smile grows...of you

Just thinking of her.

And my smile grows…of you

 

when clouded days appear

yet still I find sunshine is brightly filling each corner of my heart

glowing with every thought that illumines me… of you

 

“Your light finds me through a the dense charcoal mist”

 

When winds blow a’ gusty scattering of dust,

as I find the air sweet as magnolia petals saved in my pocket,

bring me the unforgettable fragrance… of you

 

“The sweet breath of your nature flows over me”

 

when soaring heat batters my crimson skin

but the cool breeze of love soothes my sunburned shoulders

in affections softly flowing from the fingertips...of you

 

“Cool spring zephyrs wrap your love about my body”

 

when I sit in a darkened space, alone with only my dreams

and a teardrop finds my cheek in a glistened falling line

happily, as I relive each eternal memory…of you

 

“And my smile grows…of you”

When winds blow a’ gusty scattering of dust,

as I find the air sweet as magnolia petals saved in my pocket,

bring me the unforgettable fragrance..
I loved this poem of optimism. This positive bent of mind keeps us alive amongst this gory world.

This is really sweet and beautiful, Jack. There must be something in the air today... I woke with old thoughts too. Might have started from a dream, but your poem is softer and hopeful. So thanks for the smile, my friend! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend!

Sirrah, I am so excited you stopped by thyis day to leave such sweet words for me. Thank you so very much.

You're welcome, of course! If I post poetry, it will be due to the unexpected inspiration to do so. I have outlined 2 more novels and very excited to begin work on one of them in particular :) and... I do have two that I must finish before I truly stop considering myself a creative writer. 8 outlines or works in progress - I must get back to it! :)

Well don't let me stop you and then, when you finish those projects you can read my...oh nevermind. :)

Evidently, I am not the only one feeling a bit nostalgic this morning...
This is lovely, Jack. I think I am a bit jealous of the lady you are writing for.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my sweet friend. Perhaps I was writing it about you?
