Patience of Love

Tell me those lies you alone can tell with that spark in your eyes as accompanying jest I’ll take the mirage of love my friend hide in a smile the pain of a heart lacerated by claws hidden in softness of paws Trust me it’s love Autumn tears falling open wounds washing with sunset leaves covering snow gauze softness capping from clawing wind protecting in arms of love resting Trust me it’s love Sun rays peaking then hiding through breeze blown curtains inviting to flowering branch where hiding love bird is singing and waiting for heart to get drunk on sunlight dreaming of paradise awaiting Trust me it’s love Pearly moon light paleness pupils seem to vanish from eyes reversing night sky into an expanse of serene blue light breezy spring scent inebriating music of stars serenading two hearts circling around each other Forever in love Sixt Place Winner: Brian Strand Contest 1290-2/29/24 First Place Winner: Brian Strand-All Yours-3/4/21 Sixth Place: Craig Cornish- Blue- 1/11/19 Sixth Place: William Kekaula- Say It Again- Contest-5/15/21.
