When I was coal you mined my soul
and treasure there you found:
a heart, stone cold, but solid gold,
was buried underground.
So long I hoped and blindly groped
for rescue by the brave;
from skulking fears and sour tears
that haunted my dark cave.
The sifters left my heart bereft
of airy thoughts and dreams;
in all their toil, neglected soil,
but splashed in barren streams.
The dirtied face of my disgrace
you polished with your sleeve;
your zeal above mere heartfelt love
in silken arms we'll weave.
My luster bright in dawning light
forever shall I owe,
to she who dug beneath my shrug
and found the golden glow.

In summertime, our love is enduring as if gadenias
were floating in the breeze.
In wintertime, our love is fireplace-warm~it tingles!
As icy winds whistle through the trres.
If skies are blue, our love is sheer joy~two people
touching in the sun.
If thunder rolls, our love is calm, we find a refuge in
A cabin, light a candle, our love in airspun.
When spring flowers bloom, our love is bold, like red
petals on the dewiest of roses.
When autumn leaves fall, our love is golden and, oh
how dazzing bright, our noses!
like a tall, sunflowers in sunlight.
From one Valentine's Day till the next Valentine's Day,
our love will continue to grow.
From season to season I love shall love you always!
My one, my only, my Eternal Glow.
The skyline shimmers
With golden glow from the east
Gleaming gorgeously

Butterfly kisses
On sunbeam wishes
As daybreak begins its show
In morning's golden glow
Dragonflies greet
Every blossom they meet
While old owl is hooting goodnight
In the moon's waning light
The bullfrogs are talking
And mama duck is squawking
The bass are splashing
And the otter are dashing
To join nature's choir
For all are inspired
Together in this marsh so mellow
In morning's golden glow
Butter flies and marshes mellow Poetry Contest

In golden glow did Luna rise
Yet soon she blushed a crimson hue
As shadows in her path did cross
While Luna in her beauty grew

There is a golden glow from the sky tonight
Makes the grass bright green and the shadows darker
Sparkles in brown eyes are sheer delight
Humidity makes his skin shine healthily sharper
There is a golden glow from the sky tonight
.
Gold sun rays filter
A golden glow through Willow
Expose gold tipped blooms
Cobalt Blue streaks SkyBlue sky
Diminishing as day flies
