But we loved with a love that was more than love... ~Edgar Allan Poe
If a heart could swirl like a scarf upon a fence post, mine would choose to do that with you.
A dance of what is and could be.
The wonder of discovery.
The kind that new lovers hold, and dreamers think on and want to know.
The yearning that lonely hearts don’t speak of
is as vast as
ocean waves,
yet as quiet as a soft sigh can roll off parted lips.
The feeling I speak of feels like the most sacred of
prayers.
Hands stretched out in adoration.
A reaching out and inward the way lovers’ hands will do.
For if a heart could swirl like a scarf upon a fence post,
mine
would choose to do all of that with you.

beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie, glad you posted this. Thoughts I wouldn't have had, some I would, enough to identify. My favorite lines here are,
ReplyDelete"A reaching out and inward the way lovers’ hands will do
. . . mine (heart) would choose to do all of that with you"
I really identify with these, for playing, loving, and yearning they are for me.
p.s. Friday is Mrs. Jim's and my 50th wedding anniversary.

That is such an apt central image you've built your poem around, Carrie. I think that anyone who had a heart could identify with this.

WOW! Carrie, this is gorgeously written, truly.
