A Gentle Poem
Beauty slips from lips kissed with wild delight,
kindness flutters from soft dark eyes,
sighs gather cool moments,
in smiles I capture sweet sunrise
while waving goodbye to a dream filled night;
soaked by your bright presence.
Garments flap
in photographs
as you stand up tall and proud.
Loud love dances sparks from maiden to knight,
musical magic throws surprise,
wise womanly currents
flow smoothly across life's disguise,
here inside Winter's warmth that fresh snow-white
grace whispers reverence.
Silence snaps
within green laughs
of oil pastel shaded clouds.
Bowed down I offer a gentle poem,
customised to caress your heart's rhythm.
