last night’s dew clings
fondly to the old-growth
wrapped in crystalline embrace
it adorns the stately cedars
as if diamonds
that sparkle in the morning sun
a splendor befitting their beauty
this Spring day begins bright and crisp
bird songs lilt
carried on a light breeze
I see you afar
approaching on the path
backlit by sunrise
your hair golden in dawn’s glow
lover beholding beloved
I sit
warmed in daybreak’s window
with tea and fascination
I watch you
as you stop to rest
in this moment
my love spills over
floods ’round me
until I am consumed
your lips sculpt a smile
I’m swept away on passion’s tide
on this golden morning

Yay, a romantic spring poem. 🙂
I needed a little Spring today, so I wrote some…
This is my fave:
“with tea and fascination
I watch you
as you stop to rest”
This poem came from a memory of early times with my love, later she became my wife…
