Summer's Breath

A warm breeze gently lifts the white voile I watch it dance from across the room where I lay Half awake, and recovered from yesterday’s toil I’m awakened to the smell of an early summer’s day Honey suckle makes its heightened presence known As it thickens the air with pungent perfume Soft, sunrays through the opened window shone Casting shadows of climbing ivy in costume While a brilliant blue sky steals its golden hue Bids me arise; take in the beauty all around Endless sunrises and sunsets, to pursue When again the world seems young and life more profound I hear the ocean’s call through the wind, ’come home’ Our long-distance love affair still growing strong It makes no difference where these feet may roam Come summer or winter love endures it can’t be wrong ~*~ 06/12/13

To judge this artistry as a mere poem in a contest would be such a disservice. Your pure talent has been used to create such beauty... it was tremendously moving.... Jake

An undoubtedly brilliant write. It brightens the day with beauty and ecstacy of love. Well done. Thanks for visiting my poem the Bloodshed of Mynamar,Anne. Your positive and encouraging thoughts are a solace. From time immemorial mankind is witnessing huge and monsterous shadows of the first bloodshed. May be this is the nature's idea of keeping the exploding human population under control. The mystry is known to God alone. Love. -Mohammad

You're an outstanding poet, Annalise. "climbing ivy in costume", this paints a nice picture in my head of those plants with character. Can't believe there's no other comments here yet... fantastic work!
