M’Love

For me, this is a poem of nostalgia.

Just beyond the garden wall
across the meadow
last night’s dew clings fondly
to our willow’s cascade
enwrapping it
in crystalline embrace

comes a zephyr’s stir
it shimmers

as if bejeweled with diamonds
sparkling in the morning sunlight

a splendor befitting
the lush beauty

this bright Spring day
has begun clear and crisp

bird songs lilt gently
carried on the soft breeze

our willow rustles
a tender murmur

I see you afar
approaching on the woodland path
backlit by April’s sunrise

your hair flashes golden
a’burst in dawn’s glow

I am a smitten lover
beholding my beautiful beloved

I watch you
as you stop by the willow
a’swim in wildflowers

your head tilts upward
eyes close
lost in nature’s serenade

in this moment
breathtaken
my love spills over

desire kindles ’round me
until I am ablaze

you fix your eyes upon me
your lips sculpt a smile
then a kiss

good morning they say

I fly to you
take you in my arms
swept up on passion’s wings

this golden morning
I am consumed
by the sweet fire
of m’love

  1. You had me with the first stanza. Have always loved willow trees and to see it resplendent in your words in this stanza….truly beautiful. Sigh….you’re giving Sanaa a run for the money in terms of most romantic writer!

    1. Thank you Lil. I am a hopeless romantic, which, when the pendulum swings, can make me dark, cynical. Two sides of a coin, at least in my case. Sanaa has a more steady grip on her romantic nature. But then then again, I did as well at Sanaa’s age. Hope she never loses it… 🙂

  2. So many wonderful lines in this work.
    The opener…
    ‘Just beyond the garden wall
    across the meadow
    last night’s dew clings fondly
    to our willow’s cascade
    enwrapping it
    in crystalline embrace’
    sets a whimsical, fairy-tale scene.
    Uplifting.

  3. This is so romantic… I adore how you describe the play between nature and girl… just perfect place and time to meet.
