Notes About The Poem
Written for the 'Love poem using four words' contest by Darla Seely
Love Is a Four Letter Word
When my mind is mute from pain,
I seek your oval moon eyes,
to glow like a star at dusk.
To ease me away from the edge.
To show me calm in the rain.
My soul is akin to your love.
I ache for you to sing my name.
Echo our song in the tone of a harp.
To wake up with you at dawn,
feel your soft gold hair,
to feel safe in your warm arms.
To hold you near.
Rest my face upon your silk skin,
form and flow our lips in joy.
With your hand on my head,
gaze at your chic aura all day.
If I was to draw you a home,
I'd make a room for my soul,
to ink you a poem each day.
If only I was a wing,
you a bird,
then we can soar high into the dark sky.
Run step by step up a hill,
but not fall,
like 'Jack and Jill.'
If only we were able to stop time,
so I can walk the path home.
Then life may turn fair,
then when the wind blew with woe,
we'd be safe to dote in our vows.
