And I~for you

Just having some fun

 

And I ~ for you

 

And I ~ cling to a fortress

of endless temptation

with rings made of gold

and a tree built of life

 

Faltering corners

in new found dimensions

a little left over

but so very nice

 

Clinging to them

 

And I ~ search in a fountain

with quarters for feelings

so far neath the waters

my song sings alone

 

On sea shells and posters

of rock concert heroes

with hair like a Sheppard

to call the sheep home

 

Calling to all

 

And I ~ call to the mountains

in echoes of sailors

with waves in the morning

and snowcaps at night

 

Floating horizons

alone on the wishes

that winds will prevail

and make everything right

 

Sailing again

 

And I ~ lean on a valley

of tree lines and saucers

with cups filled with coffee

to taste when it’s due

 

With smiles forever

and words down on paper

with love as my meaning

I write them ~ for you

 

Please hear my call

Hi Jack. A lovely write in call and response. Heartfelt and introspective. Elegant verse. Lovely presentation. Imagery is good as are the descriptives. Each vignette paints a lovely picture that any reader can appreciate. Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are well done. Very nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Nice use of simile. Lovely depth of feeling. A beautiful way of expressing love through nature's imagery. Very good closing lines. Well penned and a much enjoyed read. Write on!

Another great romantic piece. I feel a bit of longing and perhaps disappointment in this one.
