His Soul's Inner Stable

There is a little farm down south
that always stays on my mind and
on it lives the man of my dreams
that I can not seem to live without.

In my mind, I can see the mountains
and they are such a lovely view and
I can see his eyes light up so warm
in the evening's sunset hues.

I can see the roaring camp fire where he sits
and I can smell the hot coffee right off of the
fire pit.

I longingly watch him on the tractor
so gracefully and peacefully labor
and I desire to be with him, and
feel his soul's inner stable.

The crate myrtles are in blooming wonder
and what it would be like to be in his arms,
I often ponder.

My need to hold him runs so deep
even though he's only a friend
I find that my mind and soul keeps
searching for him again and again.

Sharon, A very powerful, sensitive, and quite touching write here. I thoroughly enjoyed your message here and the descriptive touches of your metaphors throughout the verses. My conclusion: Simple, Direct, Powerful, and Touching!! I like the image too invoked when I read the title of your work here. And a "7" from me too for a job well-done. This person sounds like someone quite special to you. Good Luck!! Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary

Thank you so very much Richard for your sweet comment. Yes I did tell him and he did not feel the same way. This was many years ago now, but I still love him and always will. I would rather have him as a friend, than to lose him to something or someone, someday. It is always nice to hear from you Richard and I hope you have a wonderful day....Sharon G.
