Notes About The Poem

Constance's Ten Beautiful Lines Contest      April 9, 2025

Listen to poem:

Amber Rays of Sun

"A new relationship is like a seed that we plant and nurture ~ 
           it grows into something beautiful and everlasting."
                                                              ~ Jodi Picoult



When the veins of indigo thoughts in my broken heart
were gently touched by the golden glow within your soul
we blended together in a splendid hue of luminous sheen.

Upon love's palette, we are a soft shade of verdant green
awash in a crimson rouge of blush when I first felt the rush
of romance ignite my senses on our first night together.

So, I'll write what's in my heart, and the verse would start
with white rose petals of rhymes about the many times
I felt blue, wishing you'd recognized what was in my eyes.
Now, they shine with love brighter than amber rays of the sun.

Lin, seems as though love and affection have a power to heal and then make us feel really happy and complete. I always like to think about the blue side of the spectrum and how lucky we are to slide back toward the center. This is beautifully put in your poem.

My newfound friend, you are always so kind with your detailed comments. I've been experimenting with audio, and I've never liked the way I sound, but Dilly got me interested in attaching it, and I DO think it adds to the poem's intention. So... thank you so very much and have a restful night. Hugs for you. Bon nuit!

Lin, I'm always amazed by descriptions of how love can make us feel so beautifully and so deeply. You do have a way with this topic! The words just entwine the thought and body of love itself.

Maybe my heart is too visible as it puts itself out there on my sleeve. Thanks very much, Duke.
