Dawn's Calyx Woke Her and She Saw Pink Explosions

Dawn's Calyx Woke Her And She Saw Pink Explosions

Dawn's calyx woke her and she saw pink explosions
As if hot flaming rays across the window sill
She woke me, I was brainstorming some implosions
Laughed together, love was in the pinkest pill
But day cried out, I am now tantalizing you
Your hearts are combining but my golden rays shift
Radiant glazes that give you more than your due
I work with love, in tandem we paint in to uplift
At the beach morning sun again touched our souls
As the ocean's strong waves washed our lazy feet
We marveled, life astoundingly joined our goals
Must have been Heaven's lovely will that we would meet.

That day, in the afternoon we vowed to wed.
That glorious night, we slept in a silken bed.

Thank you again my friend. Yes, recovery is slow after such a deep and tragic loss. I am back writing a bit after a year and a half has now passed.. God bless you....

Thank you, my good friend. I was a very young romantic idiot a few times in my wild youth. Got burned badly 4 times between ages 18 and 28... Finally took being burned twice while being married for me to see the dagger...My 3rd marriage 17 years, no arguments, no divorce. She was a beautiful angel that never did me wrong. Leukemia killed her after 17 years of us being married. God bless.
