Red Umbrella Days

Will you love me through

 blue moons

through precious sunny skies

will you be there

 when the rivers run dry

will you treasure my every mood

take me

 for better or worse,

      when all my scars

                have been viewed

will you still pick me wildflowers

                in december

when the winter freeze

                captures the warmth,

or will your love go

                the way of cooled embers

Will you love me rain

                     or shine

   can I count the poppies of your love

trust that you'll remain

all mine

if i share my red umbrella

        will you promise never to

              rain on my parade 

will you always & forever

...be my fella

No man could say anything but yes to such an endearing question put up in such a loving and beautiful way. This is one of your sweetest poems Frieda. It's so romantic and stirring.
" if i share my red umbrella
will you promise never to
rain on my parade" - So fresh and different in feel! Applause!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Divya, and you'd be surprised eh? Who could pass up this hot mess? lol

[C.C. Marx]

Hmm that's a lot to ask of a guy, don't u think? Sticking around even in the hard times.....u better be weary who you share that umbrella with my friend or it could be you who's parade gets rained on ;) fantastico

[Frieda P]

ha true, you're probably right there...duh me. ;-P

[C.C. Marx]

I'm usually right, just sometimes my great ideas would work better in other situations but they are still right

[Frieda P]

Lol now you sound like me!

[C.C. Marx]

I think you might be rubbing off, next thing you know I will be busting out at least poems a day!!!

[Frieda P]

Hey stop your whining, at least none of the other stuff is wearing off on you, you still seem perfectly sane. ;-P

[C.C. Marx]

I seem the way, but I've been told the crazy people always look and act normal at first ;)

[Frieda P]

True, normal and crazy do blend in.....

[C.C. Marx]

The people you thought were perfectly in there right minds might end surprising you....

[Frieda P]

Probably not, not much surprises me anymore....

[C.C. Marx]

Now that's a shame, what's life without a few surprises?? It just wouldn't be as interesting haha

[C.C. Marx]

[C.C. Marx]

Now that's a shame, what's life without a few surprises?? It just wouldn't be as interesting haha

[Frieda P]

Oh it's still pretty interesting, just nothing would shock me at this stage of the game...!

To love someone means being there through good and bad... and since the good times are easy it is during bad times that we learn the true feeling of them and us.

[Frieda P]

I think in the beginning people always put their best foot forward, then when their true colors show, it's not the same....thanks Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is true if they are not being true... always a pleasure young lady :)

[Frieda P]

There you go again! ;-)

The last stanza is a poem by itself...perfect for Valentine's Day...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Marie.

I like the diclosure of fear and unceartainty here. The fact is, that those we love will let us down. They will "rain on my parade". They will never treasure your every mood all the time, for ever and ever... We submit to the failings of others when we choose to love. Love is not perfect, it just doesn't let the imperfect change it's value. Yes, at times the "poppies of your love" will be counted and recounted. The umbrella will be shared and cherished. Will you return to these moments when the "winter freeze captures the warmth"? I think that is all we can ask for... The last line is the real test because it is a choice and not a feeling and it is something we can demand of ourselves and our lover, "will you always & forever ...be my fella".
Full of emotion and well expressed longing!

[Frieda P]

I think you tinkled on my parade a bit there David. ;-)
Thanks!

[David Scott]

Never... I do feel Frieda P at times, but never on someone's parade. I get the wishing on a star thing here. It is just that we build up such unrealistic expectations that we will never be happy, because nobody can live up to them. Especially ourselves. Keep floating on in your parade and I'll cheer and wave my flag for you. Just know that even here, the horses are up in front and they left some crap in the road.

[Frieda P]

Lol, love how you left that on a high note, thanks so much love! ;-)

[David Scott]

I'm a monster! Ha. You rock.

[kublakhan27]

You must know by now that I'm a sucker for nature, especially nature in transition...who would not want to be your fella? ;P

[Frieda P]

Awh, sweet ;-)

[kublakhan27]

;)

[Quill~]

How can he not? Love is ingrained in this write. You just spilled your heart to the one who holds the answer. I don't think he would be a fool to rain on your parade. This is wonderful. Well done!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Quill, if only, who hasn't been through a hurricane or two right?

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

You rhyme better than me alienbaba...this was a stretch for me...I'm not comfortable with rhyming.

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

You write perfectly the way you do, you are fantastic the way you are you!
