Blame It On the Weather...Blame It On What You Wish....

The day is glorious with a clear blue sky but belated, chilly westerlies are a-blowing scattering limbs and leaves. I awoke early and somehow became imprisoned at my computer! Nothing very odd about that, to be honest. It happens frequently! I do have other things to do, like change the sheeting on my guest bed as I have a friend coming to stay in a week or two, but I've put that aside for the moment...or longer! With this wind, the sheets will dry in a second (slight exaggeration...call it 'poetic license'). I'll blame the weather on my creative splurge. I wrote another poem this morning, which I would like to share with you. Make yourself a drink...it's quite lengthy!

Promises....

I will lavish you with jewels to match your star-like eyes
Said he
I shall profess my love for you through the waking hours
Said he
I will walk beside you showering you with scented flowers
Said he
I shall tenderly embrace you every morning at sunrise
Said he

I will at each day's dawning celebrate my love for you
Said she
I shall smother and covet you with deep ravenous kisses
Said she
I will devour you with my love which nothing eclipses
Said she
I shall with my eager caresses beckon you at morning's debut
Said she

We will run along the beach together like carefree children
Said they
We shall name the evening stars locked in our love's delirium
Said they
We will make endless love in the rain shrouded by a grey atrium
Said they
We shall be consumed by our passionate desire a seductive siren
Said they

I will change nothing about you not your inviting lips nothing
Said he
I shall see life and beauty forever through you awake and in dreams
Said she
I will wait years for you in one day cross oceans fight raging streams
Said he
We shall spend timeless hours mingled in our warm tender loving
Said they
