When My Love Arises

A sea of blue is in his eyes - a sea of blue and azure skies! His lips are berries red and sweet, and in his hair’s a field of wheat upon the pillow where he lies. Written June 20, 2015 A Strand (1067) Poetry Contest

We hope he didn't leave the field on the pillow after he got up! But anyway, you have a tender heart and from what I understand, you are one of the few (like me) who have had a long and happy marriage. We are indeed lucky, hard working, willing to overlook things and willing to compromise.

So beautiful poem in five lines my very dear friend, Andrea. I'm so grateful to read it tonight. I like it so much. I'm sure it will do well in the contest. Thanks a lot for sharing. Thanks a lot as well for reading my simple poem Mehndi. So sorry for the late reply cuz I got flu this past week due to extreme heat here in BKK i think. Was next to some of my pupils. But now getting better. Once again thanks a lot for this poem. Have a great wkend! Many lovely hugs, Leonora

This made smile because I have the feeling you could have written way more than 5 lines on the subject. GL Jan
