Whisper In My Ear - For Sami

"Brightest diamonds shine in darkest rooms,
willing hearts bleed out love for me and you"

Whisper close towards a frightened ear  
soothe a shaken soul   scared tonight
hold onto hopes of flight filled wings
where a painted rose will rise and sing

Carry my crutch just a little bit more
for when the south winds blow again
across flowing strands of love and care
my heart and spirit will be right there

Living moments in locked up dreams
no longer a little blue penguin burrowing
freeing fairy tale fantasy finally come true
glowing in the dark because the shine of you

What a lovely poem for your friends Darren and Sami. Darren is a wonderful young man, the first to welcome me to Poetry Soup. He is going to be very moved by this wonderful gesture.

Oh Tim. How exquisite and stunning your opening couplet is. So very beautiful and poetic. Your poetry and words shine. Entries such as this is why we read. Your middle quatrain is very expressive and emotional. A true pleasure to read. Well done entirely.
