Another new day...with you

These days move so quickly...

 

 

 

Another new day…with you

 

Pacing the foothills of reason…

collecting thoughts on garden pathways,

reaching for a butterfly

dancing neath an arbor

of outstretched arms

shaping my heart in framed happiness

 

For this longing builds of

sunrise wishes and coffee cup hopes

 

Sunflowers call out your name

in harmonic melodies on breathless breezes

of crimson and clover dotting the lawn

in candy coated

whispers…finding rainbow feathers

on porch swing awnings

 

Aretha Franklin sings

“Day Dreaming and I’m thinking of you” …and she is right

 

As hours pass, the day takes with it

the lingering effects of the sun

pale in glow next to your smile

as even clouded skies can not

diminish the sunset beauty

of your eyes

 

within my mind these mahogany

gems twinkle on twilight painted skies

 

The time now comes for sleep, to dream

of teddy bears named Clara

and satin skin touching mine,

drenched in the moon’s soft light

creating silhouettes of affection

floating on desire…

 

as I drift, awaiting dawns serenade

bringing another new day…with you

Very good. Trees seem to be reaching for something up there, longing for something. Every day is a new chance to see the world and share it with each other. Thank you for the chance to read this piece.

Thank you so very much for visiting my world tonight. I truly do appreciate you stopping by. You kind words thrill me. Thank you again.

What I love about this, is that you bring a love story to poetry, and in the middle the song...
(that was perfect, a perfect timing). It feels like falling in love with a beloved in utopia, too good.
but then back to reality, and you'll see life is great when you wake up :) it is just gorgeous to read your words Jack. You're a magic maker! ;)

It's lines like this one "sunrise wishes and coffee cup hopes" that make reading your poetry such a pleasure. There is a youthful innocence to the emotion. An exuberance animating every line. Your poetry is alive and spirited with charismatic imagery. Jack, this is lyrical and lovely...I can not praise it enough. May dawn always serenade you with such thoughts. Lydi**
