There is no length, for which I write
I stop when everything feels right
It may only be a verse, of three small lines
Or perhaps I will stretch it, to seven or nine
But when the words fall into place, you see
The poem I’ve created, is really for me

I can write a million poems
About true love, at its finest
But if I do, you certainly
Will find me a bit too biased
Thirty three years ago, this day
I married my very best friend
A man who stands beside me
On that, I can surely depend
“Dorinda, my lifetime partner”
Etched inside my wedding band
His promise, in a symbol, placed
On the ring finger of my left hand
We celebrate each other
No matter what it is we do
Adding to those every days
By saying, “I love you”
To those who have yet to find
The perfect one for you
Never give up hope, you see
Your soulmate’s waiting, too!

Contentment fills her restless mind
Slowly she steps, without care
Unafraid of the man who is leading her blind
Neptune awaits for her there
She colors his realm with a gentle caress
As he heaves a watery sigh
Her exquisiteness he must now possess
Underneath his liquid sky
Salacia, beautiful queen, sublime
He has fallen for her ruse
Quenched forever in perfect rhyme
She is one with her god, his muse

The sunlight fades, ever fast, away
As darkening clouds, obscure the day
Bringing daggers, lights against the gloom
With a thunderous roar, and shattering boom
Over the lands, to quench an insatiable thirst
Pelting down, from the skies, a raucous cloudburst
Flooding over the streets and sidewalks, where
People run to escape, this torrential nightmare
The falling of the rain is, how Mother Nature rebels
Until she’s had enough, then, the rain she will quell
Author’s Note: I wrote this while listening to a thunderstorm. The skies opened up and it poured!! I love writing to that sound 🙂

She serenades the sun to sleep
With a lullaby, from her strings
Her music floats, into the air
Takes flight, on angel’s wings
It floats among the heavens
On the tails, of passing clouds
As sunlight fades into the night
She is blanketed, with a shroud
Of darkness, it settles over her
Yet, she continues to play her song
Knowing soon the moon will rise
Tis who she plays for, all along
