COMFORTER

 

A comforter is a form of bedding

The modern example is a duvet

Or perhaps a continental quilt, 

An eiderdown is best, so they say

But I think that you’re the best

Comforter by a very long way

LOVERS WALK IN HAND

 

Lovers walk in hand

Thru summers scented meadow

With lustful intent

LOVE APPEARED LIKE AN EMERGING FLOWER

 

Love appeared like an emerging flower

Blooming like a flush on a maiden’s cheek

Spreading out like the wings of a bird

And taking flight upon romantic winds

Traversing the immense poetic globe

Reaching every corner of the world

Before returning to its love-struck source

For there is no greater extent

To which a love can aspire

Than all around the world and back again

I STILL CLING TO YOU

 

I still cling to you

For fear of drowning

In your arms

I feel secure

But it’s an illusion

Its false security

Despite your deceit

And betrayals

I still cling to you

Instead of swimming free

Not for fear of drowning

But fear of being alone

THE WONDROUS BEAUTY

The wondrous beauty

Of your pale white skin,

That seductive landscape

Pure as exotic silk

Fresh as winter snow

And as cold as your heart

GRACILE

 

Moving Gracefully

Like a snow-white swan

On a glassy lake.

You came into my life

 

Like an angel

Descending from heaven

On pure white wings

You changed me forever

 

But your gracile elegance

Mesmerized me

And blinkered me

To your true nature

 

Because hidden from me

Beneath the surface

And belying the grace

You were no angel

SILENCE IN THE MEADOW

 

Silence in the meadow

As we lay amidst the flowers

Young lovers entwined

In the moonlit hours

When love is keenly felt

We succumb to cupids’ powers

But as night gives way to day

The love we feel is ours
