And On Love's Path May We Forever Trod

And On Love's Path May We Forever Trod

Once this soul beheld, - joy of morning dew
Dawn- its bright golden beams racing unto-
Verna glory within love's soft sighing heart,
Enrapturing language romance imparts,
Sight of flowering meadows, hill and dale,
Blessings of her gentle touch without fail,
As sky and sun announce the coming day
We together in Nature's beauty play.

Dare our hearts this soothing visage deny, -
As its colorful hues sets spirit's cry,
Entranced by passion's whispering breeze
Upon love's journey we trod with great ease.
I a former victim of loss-love's wrath,
She a sweet angel sent to cross my path,
Bow we both to what treasure Heaven sent
And pray to God this love never relents.

Once this soul beheld, - joy of morning dew
Dawn- its bright golden beams racing unto-
Verna* glory within love's soft sighing heart,
Enrapturing language romance imparts.

And on love's path may we forever trod.
While hand in hand, truly blessed by God.

Romanticism,
Dedicated to poetry's romanticism
 and the enticing beauty that 
 women gift unto this too oft drab world.


1st. Note:

*Verna - Wiktionaryen.wiktionary.org › wiki › Verna
Coined in the 19th century, from Latin vernus (“spring-like”) or as a feminine of Vernon. Proper nounEdit. Verna. A female given name from Latin quotations ?.

2nd. Note:
I watched it snow today, we have now about 5 inches of white
cream splashed upon the ground. Looking out the window I 
 thought of my youth and to my mind came a snow angel.
And the truth, the beauty of life , love and womankind
 sudden the first four verses came in a flash and I snatched
 a pen to jot it down. That pen had a will a heart of its own
 and within minutes this came to be.  I reread it -made one
 small change. I changed the word "sight" to the word "joy"
As in,  - "joy of morning dew",  in the first verse..

Tom Cunningham Date: 2/16/2021 3:29:00 PM I think you missed a name off your list of the great romantic poets, your own. You are up there with the greats Robert. Tom Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 2/16/2021 4:32:00 PM Thank you my friend. It is very kind of you to give me such a compliment but I would never dare give myself such a prestigious level of poetry talent and creativity. I do, as do so many others, constantly study, read and endeavor to try to better my writing skills. My frequent blogs are a part of that agenda, that studying that has been going on now for 51 years. A great many poets here have contributed to that ongoing study with their creations. God bless.
