our loving escapeโ€ฆ

love lost and unadorned, yet remembered, and
stored, for itโ€™s you, Iโ€™ve always adoredโ€ฆ

like butterflies have wings, you always see me,
as I am, not another iteration of a dream
romance

making my towards you, raising through the seas
of possibility, and tranquility, I look forlorn
at times

yet, know

youโ€™re always there with a helpful hand, guiding me,
through ordeals trivial, and those most plentiful,
and mystical

remembering this, gives way to a love
deep within

like sap running through the veins of a tree,
my heart pumps love throughout my
beings entirety

holding it in place, creating a soft and textured space,
for our loving escapeโ€ฆ


The opening line to this poem, and thus the entire poem, was inspired by a wonderful poem, titled November, by Simmi, of Rose-Colored Glasses? If youโ€™ve not yet visited Simmiโ€™s site, and read the poetry there, please do so, it is lovely.

I give my heart to you

drinking in the sea water, I hear the bell toll, and,
indeed, itโ€™s my heart you stole

with a second glance, just the kind of romance,
making stories appear
much more than circumstanceโ€ฆ

I give my heart to you, as you walk from the sand,
into a land, ill-defined,
and yet, part of the current storylineโ€ฆ

waiting with bated breath,
your hand again clasps mineโ€ฆand

in that moment, we realize,
just how much love is left in the world
when weโ€™re togetherโ€ฆ

is divineโ€ฆ
