Extraordinary afternoon

~

 

Where can it be, that my mind has taken me,

as this pathway comes and goes,

causing open doors to close

 

What’s this I feel, in these hours I conceal,

like a pattern on a shelf,

standing right beside myself

 

I find that . . .

 

She’s the morning when you hear that tune,

like a Thursday in the month of June,

or a daisy learning how to bloom,

on a

extraordinary afternoon

 

She’s the . . .

 

freshest corner of the atmosphere,

like a river running bold and clear,

climbing mountains while you have no fear,

when your

prayers are answered and you have her near

 

it’s here . . .

 

in the rainy scene,

like a magazine,

painted tangerine

and a shade of green

 

with a caring smile,

in her special style,

laughing all the while,

every dusty mile

 

Whose up ahead, underneath a sky of red

when the twilight comes to call,

in the shadows of it all

 

How can I know, if my song is sure to flow,

like an echo on the wing,

that will make her spirit sing

 

I guess I’ll  . . .

 

chase the lightning as the thunder roars,

find a rainbow as my heaven pours,

take her hand and lead her on the way

to the,

garden entrance planted yesterday

 

Tell her . . .

 

she is all that I will ever need,

every hunger that I long to feed,

yellow roses in a full moon beam

glowing

effervescent on my midnight dream

 

She’s my . . .

 

extraordinary afternoon

Thank you my friend. After reading your amazing love poem this morning, your comment on mine mean so very much to me. Thank you again.

[Stella Armour]

I am not sure how our poetic paths have not crossed before , i have been here on and off for about 10 years i think. I shall make sure not to miss your poems again :)

[willweb]

I just checked, I posted my first poem here in 2014, so I have been here for 9 years. But as they say, better late than never. It is a pleasure to meet you.

The poem is so good Will.
"She is all her . . .
she is all that I will ever need,
every hunger that I long to feed,
yellow roses in a full moon beam
glowing
effervescent on my midnight dream"
I liked the above lines. You told a complete story in so few words. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

A delightful afternoon of daydreaming, which I do all the time.... you portray such lovely images of nature,
enchantment, finding your path to infatuation, singing about rainbows, "chasing lightening as the thunder roars" you bring the outdoors to life as if it's a person...beautiful metaphors form an excellent poet

"when your prayers are answered and you have her near..."

No... please..., I can't think anything better expression of love exists than this... seems a lover boy's heart is singing for his beloved one. Have you ever heard of the nightingale and the red rose poem....??? Where the nightingale expresses the boy's love to his beloved by her beautiful voice? I'm pretty sure , if the nightingale have voice, then this(your work) must be her words for the beloved.

Beautifully penned with lots of love. Seems you are in love again... lol.

Enjoy your lo.

If you were a painter, your brush would be a feather and your paint would be sunlight. You always write with such a deft; yet, delicate hand, blending light and sky into your words.

[willweb]

Thank you so much Linda Marie.

enchanting story telling ... last verse and closing especially creative to me .. did you put this to music? .. i wonder because of the easy rhyming ... almost sing song .. except the last verse .. love the yellow roses in full moon beam glowing .. nothing better than a good friend and companion on a lazy afternoon .. no matter the storms that pass
