Captive heart

Just words

                               Captive heart
Divine woman love the Fall days. The cooler days make her wander into deep forest and search for quiet meadows and beautiful places. She love the feel of the freedom in the sacred morning where the animals run free and the noise of the city is faraway.

I told her. I'm just a beggar wanting the attention of content woman. You have capture my heart and thoughts. I will write song and words for you till you can only see me."

She laughs at my words and she told me. "We must drink in the beauty of nature, be kind to all living things and remember the living. Never forgetting the dead. The kind elders who taught us. Nature and us must be one. Dear Johnnie. You are my ray of sun in the mist of the cold days. My captive heart is your to hold till you become tire of me."

I brought her close and I whispered. I will never be tire of you. You are my day wish and my night dream. You made my dark days become alive and vibrant. I will love you forever and a day.

I liked the way you expressed what the nature expects from us.
The sentences are very sweet. I feel a softness in them.
The whole third paragraph captivated me in particular. Of course your end, the promise made said it all.
An artist only can converse with the nature like this. For others, it is just a season, geography or beauty.
Thank you for this write. Keep sharing.

It is not just the 'divine woman' who loves the cool, whimsical, majestic nature of the Autumn--I, as well. This is truly a contemplative time of the year, that stops us in our tracks and captures our imaginations. Your poem captured this sentiment quite well. 'We must drink in the beauty of nature, be kind to all living things and remember the living..Never forgetting the dead'. So beautiful Coyote..and so true. This woman you captured is the yearning we all have in our hearts to truly connect with the innermost recesses of our souls--summed up by that 'Divine Woman' or 'Man'. Nicely done! (=

"Divine woman love the Fall days. The cooler days make her wander into deep forest and search for quiet meadows and beautiful places.

I like that picture.

Dimness of those days tires me, and I miss the sun, but I do love the colors of Fall.

Your words always capture my attention. =)

Me too. Perfect beauty in place of beauty. Poetry for the eyes. Thank you Sarah for reading and the comment.

I love the days of Fall. Cooler days. Me and grandchildren taking walks into the forest and by Lake St.Clair. I appreciate the comment.

Anytime, Coyote!

I often wonder just how many of these writes are for the woman you married. Valentine

Not enough. We never appreciate what we have. The foolish logic of life. Also I know. Can't find the places gone. Life is in the front of us. Not behind us. Writer's words. Just tales of things that cannot be found.
