The bewitching hour has finally come

When I am no longer feeling numb

The time I envision, the perfect scene

Not ordinary visions, but words, fill my screen

Imagery exposed, with the lightest touch

These are moments, I treasure so much

A time, when I can fall, into the night

That caresses my soul, and holds me tight

The moonlit skies, the twinkle of stars

This is the time that takes me so far

Gathering thoughts, I feed off the words

A creature of poetry, longing to be heard

Through My Darkest Hours ~ #freeverse #poetry

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat

Like the pouring of the rain against this old house

Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world

On shoulders that held more than they should

Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life

Never a complaint, you just went about your day

And night couldn’t come soon enough for you

Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep

Before I even had the chance to say thank you

For making my world a much better place to live

And this I know, as time passes, and days fade

You will always be the light that guides me

Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

Oracle of Life ~ #poetry

Priestess of the emerald wood

Shrouded in nature’s mystery

Branches reach to seek and find

A gentle beauty, strong and free

Oracle of Life, divine
Ageless in her sunlit stance
Graceful limbs intertwined
Mesmerizing at a glance

Leaves of green do bow and sway

In rhythmic symmetry

She breathes her soul into the day

With the beautiful splendor of a tree

I wrote this poem last year, and decided to share it again.  I’ve updated it, as today, we celebrate 33 years of marriage.  Our friends said we wouldn’t last.

We sure showed them  ❤

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!

#writephoto – Wishes – #poetry

There are notes, floating, in the breeze

Clinging, steadfast, to the trees

Music written, for the eyes to hear

Words that sing, to those held dear

I can only imagine, what each note holds

Perhaps a wish, where a secret unfolds

Or a trinket, shared, from a woman’s purse

I’m sure each note, is quite diverse

So I’ll hang a wish, upon this tree

And hope it comes true, for thee and me

 

Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)!  Thanks again, for another beautiful photo prompt!
