Elizabeth Wesley Poet Rhyme

Being In Love

Being in love is when
Veils of mist vaporize
And swollen buds appear
To brighten jaded eyes.
When they open up
The heart defibrillates;
Then the rush of passion surges
And intoxicates.
               *
Being in love is when
Dreams of autumn whisper low;
And the love fires burn
In the frost of winter's snow.
But the leaves spin and turn
When sorrow's pain of losing
Feels such exquisite pain;
And things beyond one's choosing
See love go again.
              ***

Phyllis Babcock April 17, 2013 at 10:52 AM To be in love and then to have to watch it go is a sad thing. Lovely poem. Trying to read a few as I have not been on the soup a lot lately. Took a break and have been more on facebook. Need to get back to writing but seem to be in a writing slump or maybe just my mood. Snow just does not want to leave this year. love phyl
