And I sincerely hope

I do

 

And I sincerely hope

 

 

Sunlight shines through your window

Warmth embraces your wintered skin

Radiance of nature’s kiss

You feel it…

 

Music plays this early morning hour

Melodies fill the room with sound

Lifting your weary spirits

You hear it…

 

A smile that glows of wondrous beauty

Enchanting and eternally contagious

Sending hearts a’ flutter

You show it…

 

Coffee is freshly brewed and hot

A welcomed companion at dawn

Slowly pouring yourself a cup

You taste it…

 

Spring is waiting on the chilly horizon

Blues skies and fragrant blooms are not far off

Butterflies are soon to awaken

You sense it…

 

Silky beaches with turquoise waters

Margaritas in romantic locations

Resting in the shade of a majestic palm

You dream it…

 

Poetry appears on a flickering screen

Wonderful words to entice your mind

Verses in flowery fonts and design

You see it…

 

Even though I haven’t told you

I adore you more than all of these things

And I sincerely hope

You know it…

This is so full of romance, the simple appreciation and enjoyment of everyday things. It seems to speak of a love from afar, where you let someone into the private places of your heart and savor them through words. This rings with such sincere emotion. Makes it something in itself to savor...perhaps with that cup of coffee. :) Very lovely!

Oh my god this is so beautiful. I can relate to it so much. Hate you Jack, for making me feel like this.

Sorry about that Addie...don't hate me, I am only the messenger, but if you have no choice, just know you will be standing in a very long line. :) Thanks so very much for your kindness today.

Something is definitely in the air.. is it contagious I wonder??? If I were you Jack, I would tell, immediately,if not sooner, last week even... a mutual friend says "carpe the hell out of diem", good advice I think.. I know not a very good review of the poem itself just something I was thinking as I read... ~~redzone

[Jack...]

No problem my friend, the fact that you stopped to read is fine with me. They say, a mouth is a terrible thing to waste, well that's not what they say but I just did and this one right here needs to be locked away somewhere. I get myself in more trouble with it. Thanks again, I appreciate you

[Sami Khalil]

This was wonderful and unique as far as writing goes. You sum up all these things that engage us every day, every waking moment but midst all of that you wish she knows she is the only one that is your priority. Splendid...:)..................

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving such kind words for me.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...Any time...:)...................

[Lyn Anderson]

Despite the fact I am not the least bit sappy, this is a lovely well written sentiment.

[Jack...]

Oh come on now...you're a little sappy. We all know that. Thanks my friend. I truly do appreciate your kindness.

[Marie]

To see and feel and hear and taste...a lovely way to wake up, to a lovely poem...

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Marie. I am happy you enjoyed this.

[Aethereal]

I enjoyed how you used all the senses in this poem. It inspired me to write this tiny poem for you which you may keep as your own: I could have added more lines, but then it wouldn’t be a tiny poem:

Spring

You feel
sunlight on your window sill
where there’s no more snow or chill.
You hear
thrushes that you hold so dear
each song worth a joyful tear.
You show
smiles with a transfixing glow.
Spring is more than what we know.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much. I appreciate you stopping by today and this little poem you left for me.

[Marie]

Very good. Spring is always treasure we don't expect.
