Entwined

Just the other day we walked on shells Afraid to verbalise what our brains would say You complimented me about my eyes Sweet words flowed through those lips I call mine Conversations that lasted for hours, Had us floating in our own bubble of smiles You and me. Me and you. We are. Entwined. Like the tree needs its roots in order to grow, So my love for you I will show We are. Entwined. As the sock always goes with a shoe, I too, will be there with you We are. Entwined. Like the thread blends admirably with every stitch, I'll hold your hand when we pass every ditch We are. Entwined You and me Me and you. We are. Entwined.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.

I remember being entwined when I first met my husband-to be! Ahh, what a feeling. It was beautifully written.
