Marriage of Diamond and Gold

MARRIAGE OF DIAMOND AND GOLD ~ Scented honeysuckle heaves from her pillow ~ Her chest rises and falls, a strong and gentle ship Her lips tinted pink with luscious femininity Her laugh pulls joy from the the thunder of his heart ~ His strength, as the ship anchor, keeps his marriage grounded ~ He will lasso the universe, reshape the moon and stars for her She holds his shoulders, looks into his eyes, certainty of blue Their minds, like an intertwined road, meld, separate, and kiss again ~ Their rings clink together like champagne flutes ~ Diamonds and gold fizz, exuberant in their lives Sensate flesh and size perfect, imperfect, paradise His arms cloak her shoulders, a raiment of dreamy content Kim Rodrigues © 2017

I agree w/the other poets, this is a beautifully romantic poem, Kim. I love poems about happy marriages. Wish mine had lasted more than 9 years. But, such is life. Wonderful poem w/dreamy imagery. Love the line ... sensate flesh and size perfect, imperfect, paradise. Two being as one has type of feel to it. Great write. Love and peace.

Thank you, Freddie! Mine took a lot of work. It helped that we did have love between us and God saw us through the rest. Some don't make it...my bro and daughter both. I've come to see things in a different light through time. Blessings, friend!
