Whispers

I am he who worships Spring
in moonlit mountain shallows.

I am he who watches you,
insubstantial shadow.

I am he who brings night’s ship
safe to morning’s shore.

I am he who loves you,
your servant, evermore.

    A stunning piece, my friend, and I love the silhouette of flora against a morning sky, whispering as the speaker in your poem. You create perfect art!

    1. Thank you, Melinda. The greatest thing about a love like this is that it only takes two people to believe that it’s real for it to become real. Very cool. I’ll let you in on something else I’m certain of – beautiful souls like yours shine so very brightly that they will always draw a beautiful soul mate to them.

      1. You’re welcome 🙂 I hope what you say is true. He must be a long way off for it to take so long 🙂 I’m not as young as I look in pictures.

  5. What should I say!! I’m running out of adjectives to use and praises to shower you with. Would ‘splendid’ suffice? Would ‘amazing’ sound too little? What should I leave you with?

    1. As always you have left me with a massive smile 😀 Thank you so much for your wonderfully varied and amazingly kind adjective use, Aishwarya. I love each one.

      1. I run out of them when I read the words you pour out of your heart! Please don’t mind it if I stop using lesser adjectives. It would only mean that I don’t have enough in my kitty to praise your poems 🙂

  7. Silently breathtaking. And I am with “busymindthinking” above. I feel as though I say the same things each time,Mobutu that is because each piece of yours I read is of the same golden caliber. Great piece. 😃
