Life
i raked and i raked, then i stopped to admire
a city truck came and stood by the pile
vacumned the leaves and then off it went
with our autumn coloured futon in tow
with books, maps and google, our trip i planned
smiling more, anticipating, day drawing near
repairs, construction, closed for the season
is there a plot to keep us apart
snow fell through moonlight till the crack of dawn
gloves on, scarf flying, i bolt into the white
brown snow, yellow snow and finally no snow
i wanted to make a snow angel for you
a surprise it will be, with a drive to your work
i dream of coffee and holding your hand
meetings, tutorials, overtime on a friday
i yearn for a moment just alone
then i heard the sun as it called out your name
tanning lotion, chairs, blanket and cooler
overcast, over-crowded e-coli in the water?
no soaking in the water this day
life is in the way of my love for you
seconds found can be so rare
so i will pull my heart out here
say i love you in this poem
Wonderful! Such an engrossing poem. Very visual. Totally enjoyed it! Thanks :-)
...then i heard the sun as it called out your name...intense, very intense the inner cry...beautiful indeed the touch of love.
how romantic this poem is
You say it so well too in this fascinating and well written verse Steve. Every stanza a poem in itself it makes those last lines so warm and inviting. A lovely read.
Another way to say "love" indeed!
Felt as though I was taking a trip reading this wonderful piece! the ending is endearing, great write.
