Love Stanzas

Love Stanzas I write of celestial moons and flying carpet rides, Of seasonal hues and rising tides. I write when golden sunlight fills the skies, And emerald hills enchant my waking eyes. When the aroma of thulian roses scents the air And wind blows the willows like Pele’s hair. I write of all things that remind me of you, How I’m sheltered by your shadow in all I do. When I hear the sweet call of a turtle dove, I smile at your deep amorous voice I love. You are always the one after forty years Though we've endured a few hardships and tears, It strengthened our bond as we grew old Our wedding vows seemed to be written in gold. You put my feelings first and I reciprocate I cherished the fact that you were my soulmate. When moonlight gleams on our island sea Our love songs still echo eternally. The love we shared remains pristine and pure When our souls combined to forever endure. 8-29-22 I write because Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon ____________________________________ 7-17-22 Rev. ~First Place~ Rhyme Rumi Quote Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet "From deep within my heart I always catch the scent of my Beloved.
