Like a Chrysalis

your silhouette lingers into a soft verse; ebony etched ethereal aura engrained on age old canvas- like a chrysalis your affection encompasses me in comfort ~safeguarded from fear forevermore~ for you shield me from persistent weathered seasons; defend me against the lassitude of grievances i somehow call forth when i am finally happy… hands once ached, now solaced; tears once shed, now dried- fear erased like a pencil's mishap, satchel of passion prevails...dignified enchanted by epiphanies of alluring nights, where touch remains intimate; sheets of satin lining my curves- eyes catch like the first and you whisper… “i’m still so madly in love with you”- you devour me whole - bad seeds and all; (you always did see my scars as beautiful) i am left unscathed in your arms kept safe by love’s renown shield- you are the magic holding the heavens up in the sky... thank God i am FOREVER yours ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Best Free Verse From 2019 Date - November 5, 2019 Sponsor - John Hamilton

Laura, your gift for translating personal and intimate feelings into lovely poetry is admirable... a talent you share with Jewel, whose poetry I have been reading recently. Your phrases are wonderful: lassitude of grievances, fear erased like a pencil's mishap, satchel of passion... loved your alliteration in line 2... your comfort verbs are in full force: lingers, encompasses, shields, defends, solaces. This is exquisite love poetry and I sending this to my FAVs. Be blessed, dear friend ~ John

thank you- "BEAUTIFUL SCARS"... now you know where my penname came from on AP, it's because he sees all my flaws and painful marks as beautiful. Always has. He makes me feel beautiful even with messy hair and no makeup. After 23 years, the flame is still lit, thank you sweet Caren x:)-luloo
