The Lovers Tender Embrace

Lavender and roses,
Slow whispered roses,
To whom do you sing to my dear?

Sun kissed wheat fields
And unmarred iron shields,
Why do you cower in fear?

Your quivering form,
Your eyes so forlorn,
I'm afraid your motives unclear.

And what now is his?
Purest drop so amiss?
The poor hing has shed a tear.

Oh sweety don't cry,
For it is none but I,
Look 'round, this place is clear.

Here, rest in my lap,
And around you I'll wrap,
Gentle arms clothed in lace so sheer.

Oh your sobbing is so grim
And my sweet your so thin,
I fear that you'll quite simply disappear!

Now sleep sweet my love,
Dream of the flowers and dove,
For lately you've been acting so queer.

And then when you wake,
Your hand I shall take,
And we'll find magic both far and near!

This is a stunning piece. I loved the beat and cadance to the poem. I don't have the eye that you do or the words you have for expressing how a piece feels or looks. I wish I did because this was just stunning to read. The simplicity of the thoughts were just right, then add the beat and cadance and then you have more complexity to the heart from which your writing comes. The meanings take on another life separate from what the words sum up together. I have read it a couple of times now and I like it more and more.. :) Thank you for the RR..

It rymes to the beat with pasion and beauty that words them selves provoc deep meaning. Very well writen.

This is beautiful. Truly dripping with emotion. You never cease to amaze me.
