Debbie, My love

I paced placidly along picturesque pathways,
Around the vast verdant valley that led nowhere.
Oh Debbie, my Debbie, disappeared in thin air!
I'll search and I'll search and mutter a prayer,
I texted her and called her, but alas all seemed in vain.

Ah Debbie, my Debbie, I shouted her name.
All echoed back at me. still, I yearn for her love.
I imagined her hot lips, lingering on mine,
Yet she escaped me and flew like a rock dove,
But why, oh why? We fitted like a glove.

The blissful breeze blew through the cottonwoods,
"I'm here! I'm here!"  Her voice echoed impulsively,
Elated I searched among the trees near a river. 
I saw her there, beneath the willow, seductively.
I ran and hugged her tight, with all our fecundity.

Dear victor, i did not forget about you, i try commenting on as many as i can when i get on soup, migraines are a constant thing that I go through so i did not get any migraines from reading your work infact i enjoy reading your work, (responding to your soup mail) before i forget commenting so thought i will respond here to you and also to your evocative and touching poem that i didnt see earlier; youv written very well as always. And your rhymes are so sublime and captivating! I love the flow and how delicately you weave imagery especially lines such as “ The blissful breeze blew through the cottonwoods,” truly enhances and adds strength to the emotions youv depicted here in such eloquence! Heartfelt poem! Pleasure reading this, sending you light always and wish you all the best with health too . Thank you for always supporting me

This site was an unusual one. But cute. Now what is a rock dove?

It is a common dove, but it is found in the wild and is not domesticated.

Plenty of devices used, monorhymes, the awesome alliteration all through and through a romance with Debbie that you once knew. Hold her tight and kiss her hot lips, Victor. A lovely romantic fantasy! I'm faving for me.~Hugs
