~a Crimson Rose Ii~
'Crashing'....Into the rocks....
I stare, until a light mist
Gathers itself within my eyes
I gance to my left, towards the cove
A sailboat sailing, just beyond an empty shore
I peer, I stare, but, 'She' is not there
I resend my sight....
Her bluest, of alluring blue eyes
Heavenly eyes~Her timeless glow!
Wearing a flowered sundress
Her shining, and flowing auburn hair
Standing there ~
I beam, as I gently ring the chimes
Those, that she did once fashion
Forever there, now by my side
Dolphines and butterflies
Her favorite flower....'A Crimson Rose' ~
I then set my coffee down
And, gather them within my hand
I think, I shall keep the top up, today
It is, kind of cold....
"Can we dear, can we"
Peter Gabriel ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driving down a coastal road
On a grey and cloudy, seaside day
Somber silence, as I look toward the west
The oceans breaks, as I glance upon its edge....
Gazing, beyond its horizon, and beyond all time ~
Turning back ahead, and into the rear view mirror
A tiny heart, red, and her golden cross!
A tear from the corner of my eye, falls, as I arrive
I slowly pull up, park, and once again, get out
Across the solemn ground
That I have crossed before, I walk
I quietly and humbly kneel down
As I run my fingers, through her glistening hair....
"Hello my love," I say, as I lay them tenderly
Before 'Her Eyes!'~
There, for her grace to see~'Her Beauty!'
I carefully arrange them, my heart bleeding inside
As I remove the old~"And there you are, 'My Dear!'"
I then stand, and I hold her close....
Kissing the perfectness, of her wonderous lips!
And I whisper, "always," into her everlasting soul ~
"Forever 'My Love,' forever!"
A bright gleaming as I look unto the sky
And then, I close my eyes....
"In your eyes, the light the heat, I am complete"
"Can we dear, can we"
She giggles, as I hand her an eternal
And neverending promise, once again, within
