Love Sonnet XIV

....Willow Creek singing

Love Sonnet XIV

 

 

I can remember, over and over,

combing your hair with my fingers,

its softness of red

tickling my heart.

 

There was an earthy feel

as you turned to face the morning sun,

singing to the 4 directions

of your womanly presence

 

as the flow of Willow Creek

spoke in riddles to the trees,

deer, and chickadees,

 

who would come, drink the wildness

and aroma caught

in the melody of your song.

Wow ... this was captivating and so beautiful You make me want to brush my hair before bed and wear something a little more beguiling that a over-sized sweater and gi pants.

Again this was just so splendid.

Pryde, if you don't mind my saying, you would be beguiling wearing that over-sized sweater and gi pants, enticing a man to comb your hair. Such acts show more love than words. I think people often forget the magic there is in a simple touch.

Thank you Pryde, your presence in this poem is "beguiling" and much appreciated.

LOL ... why am I thinking ... I would appear a pretty simpleton getting my hair brushed:)

[redzone]

don't know Pryde, but brushing your hair would be one way to just enjoy being with you,

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

very heartwarming. the first line was really moving. "over and over" it's such a simple and subtle way to say "i love you."

[redzone]

Ern, I find it is remembering those simple things is one way of saying I love you. For the time that it lasted, we really did enjoy each other, and loved each other deeply.

Thanks Ern for your kind review.
