Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Linger Still, Oh Thoughts of Love

Escape thee not 
               Oh thoughts of love 
     Linger still and make me smile
Glow in candlelight and stay
       As you guide me all the while

Fill my weary mind with joy
        Memories past and yet to be
In your luminescent style
            Linger still, awhile for me

L Milton Hankins April 2, 2022 at 8:21 AM A lovely poem, Mike. So warm and gentle and a poignant reminder of how sweet those thoughts of love are. I liked it a lot. L Milton Hankins April 2, 2022 at 11:29 AM I think your poem probably prompted me to write my Ode to Deborah, Mike. I've had two great loves in my life, so I could relate to your poem very well. A Happy Weekend to you, my friend. Mike Gentile April 2, 2022 at 10:23 AM Thanks Milt, Happy Saturday!
