Toe Ring

I love you. 

See how the sunflower leans 

To the sun that emanates warmth, 

Nurturing rays. 

Your love is unfathomable,

I cannot wholly emulate. 

Your hands are rough and strong

From the home you have built.

Your feet sunburned, toasted reddish brown beautiful

With the glimmer of gold from your

Toe ring. 

I thank God for choosing me

When planning for you. 

Your altruism shakes my heart awake,

It too often nods off. 

Look at my hands, 

Grievously smooth, naive.

Look at my feet, 

A toe ring flashes gold, hopeful.

you have this cool calm way of expressing moments in life that are not so easy to explain, times when maybe there was a quiet and these are the things that come to your mind...if I knew you personally and read this I would be wondering what you were thinking all the time.

Lovely poetry. I had a girlfriend who had one and the title brought back the memory. The poem is from the heart where love radiates like an ocean's depths.

[Bare Trees]

This is a little different. People often don't look at feet, as if they're the most disgusting part of the human body. I do, though. I always look at girl's feet for some odd reason, see what color she painted her toes, how well clean they are, and if there's a toe ring I might look at that too.
