My perfect flower

oh well, it was a slow day

 

My perfect flower

 

 

Knocking down this broken fence,

I wander through the fields

Headed for a line of trees

to find what all it yields

 

Foot prints in the fresh plowed earth,

my mind so longs to see

What the world does have in store,

now offered up for me

 

The sun sits shining over head,

so bright its warming rays

Hanging from a sky of blue,

a beacon on display

 

Still I see horizon’s faire

of shadows on the wall

Wandering, I take a breath

and wonder of it all

 

I travel on my journey still

when there before my eyes

A flower like a special song

averts my lonely cries

 

Beautifully it stares at me

with hope for all to share

Bending down upon my knee,

this flower waiting there

 

Loveliness within I find

of petal'd smiling touch

For my dreams have found a truth

desires felt so much

 

Many were the days I lived

with nothing much so true

Until the sun did shine its light

and lead me here to you

 

I shall build a wondrous wall

to shelter you from harm

Tend you now and everyday,

protect you from the storm

 

Nourish you and keep you safe

for this eternity

So I may keep forever more

this joy you bring to me

 

Never more shall this man roam

beyond this valley view

For I accept you as my own,

my perfect flower, you

Sigh. Jack, this is one of the most romantic poems, I have read. If I swung your way, you would have to catch me, for I have swoon, from your words. I hope, whomever you have written this poem for, appreciates the depth of the love, expressed by you.

Striped raw of emotion and guided essence, a feared style but you serve it well, good read.

The sun sits shining over head, (Do you mean "overhead"? Spelled as one, that is.)

This is a lovely poem, Jack. My favorite line is this: For my dreams have found a truth.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Sennah. I suppose you could be right.

[Diana]

"For my dreams have found a truth
desires felt so much"- the ultimate climax

"Never more shall this man roam
beyond this valley view
For I accept you as my own,
my perfect flower, you"- Beautiful. I'm reminded of the books of Psalms in the Bible.

One of my favorite Jack pieces of all time.

[Jack...]

Wow Diana, I am smiling from ear to ear. Thank you so very much. I appreciate your kindness more than you know.

A wondrous thought. Sometimes we think the simple life isn't the way to go and long to be somewhere else exploring until someone or something shows us that what we have is better than what is out there. I love the descriptions. I can almost smell the fresh tilled dirt and feel the grass under my toes. Wide open spaces.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. I will always welcome the simpler things of life.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]
