Perhaps We Are Vines...( a collaboration with Trace)

 

Perhaps we are vines

gently intertwined

strong, yet vulnerable

as we nurture tiny buds of loveliness

hearts etched with sunlight…

 

Like a summer morning

dew kissed and glistening

diamond light

           melting

                  into ribbons of delight…

 

Wrapping us in poetic ecstasy

 

Leaves quiver,

flowers bloom

and seasons change…

 

                 We have changed

                         

Still, we remain

gently intertwined 

                   

                    Perhaps we are vines….

                                     

Growing stronger

as buds bloom to beautiful flowers

beckoning to be adorned

           by dreamers

                       and lovers

and those longing to dress their worlds

         in romantic colors of bliss…

 

So when evening falls

and the sun sets on a misty shore

the essence of the bloom will

                    shimmer

as stars dance in the sky

in a serenade of sweet lullabies

         weaving delicious dreams

            til petals fall

                 like rain

 

in the softest shower of possibilities

 

Certain  when morning comes

with the dew

         and the hope

of the next new bud to surely bloom again…

 

still we remain

with a poem in our hearts

 

Perhaps we are more than vines…

 

                          Perhaps…

        we are star-crossed

Another gorgeous poetic duet from you two. So seamless and so perfetly written. This one wrapped around me like Queen Anne's Wreath on an old wooden arbor. (I am the old arbor) :) Julie and Trace, how you write these, I don't know. How long you write these, I hope forever.

Star-crossed poetry entangled in
romantic overtures of blissful dreams ...
dancing in sunbeams of ecstacy.
Beautiful collaboration. truly... Pat

[MsJewel]

Thank you my dear friend. It is wonderful to see you here. When are you going to start posting your gorgeous poetry? I miss reading you. Hugs, Julie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Julie... I may have written one or
two poems that you have not read, such as
Heart of an Artichoke. I wish you and I
would have collaborated on that. I would love
to read your romantic poem verses about
the heart of an artichoke. You could always
do your own version. hugs... Pat

i like the constant reinforcement of love and strength of the relationship that is captured when you two do duets...

you guys harmonize like simon and garfunkel...neil diamond and barbra streisand.
unbelievably well, so much as one voice.

[MsJewel]

Trace and I have been writing together for so long, we finish each others sentences! He challenges me to be a better writer. I appreciate your kind words on this one Jacob. It is a special poem to me. I know Trace will be thrilled by your review as well. Have a lovely weekend my friend. :) Julie

The visualization and eloquence for this poem go hand & hand in a very special way. I liked the show & tell method used by the both of you as well. This poem could've easily been (2 Parts), but I see why it's not because of the gracious ending. Great work by the both of you. An excellent & fabulous write. :)

[MsJewel]

It actually was two parts, I wrote the first and Trace answered my poem, but I decided to post them together as a collaboration. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :) Julie

Two people with such beautiful spirits can only write such exquisite magic.. Sometimes when kindred spirits touch something otherworldly happens and I am blessed to have the privilege to witness the offerings of such a union.. You are two of the most lovely people I have met and I adore this piece as much as I adore the two of you.. Stunning is the word that comes to mind.. It shines its brilliance upon my heart and warms me inside out..

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind comment and compliment. "kindred spirits" - I like that. I'm thrilled we are friends - you bring a sassy sense of humor to the cafe that I truly enjoy! Have a lovely day my friend :) Julie
