Softer than the Rain

~ a love poem ~

 

Steve Hanks art

 

 

Softer than a touch of rain or dew

that glistened from the clouds in tender skies

your hands, your lips, your caress, I knew

and yet, in your embrace, I felt surprise

 

As if the skies were woven with sunbeams

to tie warming ribbons around my heart

and carry me as lovely as a dream

to gentle storms that wait…when clouds depart…

 

I found it was like spring, the lights divine,

as each sunrise was golden for the one

who only bloomed, this rose upon the vine,

in your embrace and kissed with the sun

 

The greatest gift of all you took, my love

and still, I will always remember you

when storms fall like springtime from above

softer than a touch of rain or dew

"I found it was like spring, the lights divine,

Your consistency is impressive. This poem to me is an amalgamation of ethereal and erotic qualities that are brought together for a pleasant reading. The softness of her naked skin and the equally soft brushing of soft words across the page tie it all together.

The second verse is my favorite but the poem as a whole embodies imagination which is the backbone of good poetry. Though the poem speaks of a lost love the reader is still left imbued with each line. The voice is soft though it sheds a tear.

Beautifully done.
