Still Love

~ The waking sun does slowly rise as dewdrops kiss the lawn Pastels paint horizon’s smile in shades of tinted dawn Oleanders dance the breeze while shadows come to play Maples stretch their yawning leaves, a colorful display A new day breathes a happy sigh beneath these skies of blue Still love is all my eyes can see each day I look at you ~

I had to read this one because you posted it on 9/17, (which is my anniversary - 14 years, and counting) and it so eloquently says how I feel, so thank you-

This is such a beautiful love poem, Chris. You created beautiful images of the sunrise and the flowers blowing in the breeze. (You should have seen my 10-foot oleanders thrashing about during a hurricane.) A very creative poem, filled with passion. Hugs, carolyn

Thank you Carolyn. I appreciate your kindness. I too have oleanders in my yard, I love to watch the shadows on the ground as they move in the wind. No hurricanes though. : )
