Dreaming Eyes

LONG-EXPECTED moment
Ling ‘ring year at last has flown,
Pomp and pleasure, pride and plenty
Lady Lola, are all your own.

The morning sun lights up the tops of trees
And spreads the lovely lawns with misty morning dew,
As mother nature slowly stirs itself,
To arouse a world of beauty and despair.
Dark clouds begin to form and rains to fall,

Forever wave, forever float and shine
Before my yearning eyes, oh! dream of mine
Wherein I dreamed that time was like a vine,

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a dark sea;
My heart is gladder than all these,
Because your birthday is today.

It’s your birthday and you’re still just
as genuine and beautiful as the day
I met you.
Wishing you a Lovely Birthday with gratitude

Nice dedication Peter,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
