Ticket to Heaven

Inspired by a conversation with Cryingkate (Connie)

 

 

 

Ticket to Heaven

 

 

We drink from the fountain of earthly delights

Sweet to the taste, ever cool to the touch 

Blushing of purity bred in our hearts

Glistened enchantment now needed so much

 

Beneath a rainbow’s curved ribbon effect

Painted in singular motions of love

Rippled reflections bare moonlit disguises

Memories fashioned below and above

 

A ticket to heaven on silver cloud linings

With only the touch of your rose petal lips

Swallowing all that affection does offer

Consuming desire in delicate sips

 

Breathless endeavors of water fall shimmers

Deeper we dwell inside every dream

You in my arms on this aqua blue evening

Illumined in passion, aglow in the gleam

 

Softy your eyes shine eternal devotion

Enchanting your beauty now all I can see  

There is no need for this ticket to heaven

For heaven is anywhere you are with me

I read this and actually said "ahhhhhh" at the end... love this. Recognizing heaven when it is right in front of us is beautiful thing to point out. "Consuming desire in delicate sips" -- that is a great line. Very nice Jack. Thank you for sharing.

[Jack...]

Thank you Jenny. Your kindness makes me smile this early morning. I am happy this one resonated with you. And yes...heaven is often right in front of us if we only take a moment to look

It's hard to describe the balance you attain between tenderness and strength. How does one move a mountain with a rose? ... Go ask Jack :)

[Jack...]

Thank you my friend. You humble me with your words today. How do you move a mountain with a rose? You don't, you climb that mountain and shout to the world your love for her.
