Stanzas of Love

I write of celestial moons and flying carpet rides, Of seasonal hues and rising tides. I write when golden light fills the skies, And emerald hills enchant my 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 call of a turtle dove, I smile at the mellifluous voice of the man I love. As a glowing garnet sun sets on a calm sparkling sea Your love songs will echo eternally. Our love will remain pristine and pure As our souls combine and forever endure. © January 20, 2013 ~Third Place~ For 'My Valetine' Contest Sponsor: Suzette Crous Decodeing secret message: This message is to my mate when we met on one of my flights, hence the flying carpet rides. The tides are because we live on an island in the Pacific.

From your note it sounds like you were a stewardess? (or even a pilot?)...If so, I bet you were a good and 'magic' one!
