FURTHER THOUGHTS OF LOVE (Poem)

FURTHER THOUGHTS of  LOVE
(Dedicated to My Wife
Upon Our Marriage in year 1990 )

As lovely as an ocean of flowers
On a dewy, cool summer morn.

As warm as a summer’s evening
Under the stars and the moon, now new.

As sweet as the gentle hum of honey bees
Seeking nectar from open blooms.

As indescribable as the smell of the air
After a summer’s soft, cleansing rain.

As enjoyable as the bird’s songs,
Singing to mates, unseen and unknown.

As refreshing as the early morning breeze
Ruffling my hair, caressing my face.

As joyful as being with you,
Sharing the summer’s panorama.

THOUGHTS OF LOVE (Poem)

(Dedicated to My Future Wife on
the 19th Anniversary of Her 39th Birthday)

As lovely as the first snow of fall,
Large flakes mounding on long green needles
Of balsam fur.

As gentle as the rising winter sun
Casting soft pink light through the trees
On a winter morn.

As cozy as a wood fire casting soft light,
Shared with someone special who loves you,
On a winter night.

As soft as a winter fog settles,
Casting stark dark limbs with an icy hue
Around an icy lake.
