Analysis of Simply simplicity



Simplicity is her beauty
Merely is her touch
When she enters into moments
Time isn’t relevant enough

Shadows befriend her
Becoming a silhouette
Of the morning sun
Crowning halos, yet

The falling rain
Serenades her
With its rhythms
Through her Spanish hair

Beneath the pale
 Moonlight mist
A Madonna draped
In a twilight dress

Countless shooting starlets
Down, falling free
Just to glimpse her
Landing near her feet

Simply, merely
Clearly, she’s everything
To everyone
But, always she’s in love with me

Dedicated to my wife Milagros

Nighttiger

A fortyish native born all American man. Married twice and for the last time. I have four children; Three daughters and one son that are all over the age of eighteen. I also have two grandchildren; one three years old and one nine months old. Inspired by God, tragedy, life's experiences and then a fairy tale love. I never intentionally set out to write poetry, but "She" inspired me. "She" meaning the love of my life. That love is a passion that after thirteen years still grows stronger each and every day. It eventually had to be put into writing. As I wrote poetry to her, she encouraged me to approach other subjects. Doing so brought me to discover that poetry could wash away the bitter tastes of life (suicide, cancer, and divorce) that were still living like demons inside me. So when poetic therapy brought those impish fiends to a stalemate, I began to experiment more. Creating fictional characters and situations within my works. The support of this online community has inspired me even further to continue to hone my writing skills giving the readers the best that I can offer. Thanks to all you out there in Lulu land. more…
