Poem Title:
Poem
This potpourri is a redolent of our sweet memories When you and I happily shared our love under those deciduous trees Those fragrant petals and autumn leaves were gathered for you to keep Bear in mind that my love for you will never fade; but, it’ll run so deep. You will always be in my thoughts while I’m away When I’m in the battlefield, you’ll always be in my heart to stay You’ll be the source of my valor, strength and hope to be alive You’re the only reason why I always dream to survive. I’ll always remember those blissful moments when I’m with you You always prepare my breakfast - one of the sweetest things you do In our dining room, before you serve the meal for me Center table is adorned with our sweet potpourri. Oh, how lovely to see you one morning upon waking up Your beauty I adore is celebrated outside in musical chirrups In your beige hat, nice dress in billowing skirt with petticoat you wear With your sister, those sweet potpourri – you lovingly share Dining room was entirely filled with a morning grace When sunshine peeps through the window pane, I see a glow on your face An enlightenment I feel, for I know your melancholy soon to vanish When the curtains wave, I’m here my love -- don’t feel any anguish. The picture of you, I paint it enormously in my mind and heart When the sky dims, it will be my only hope to look at As every bit of tiny leaves and petals dispel their fragrance into the air Inhale and feel deep in your heart my everlasting love and care. June 9, 2013 5. 10pm Note: This is a poem dedicated to George Dunlop Leslie. He is really one of the great painters. I admire him and I’m so impressed with his awesome paintings. I thank our dear friend, Isaiah for sharing him with us /me and his works. He truly inspired me to write this poem especially by one of his paintings, Potpourri. I imagined myself as the lady on his painting. i: ))))) First Place Contest: Any Poem Goes Judged: 6/19/13 Sponsor: Poet Skat Second Place Contest: George Dunlop Leslie (Choose a title from one of his paintings) Judged: 6/17/13 Sponsor: Isaiah Zerbst
