Seeker of Light

by Maple Tree   Nov 8, 2012


He nestles near a river bed
of golden rod and honeysuckle.

I gaze in the eyes of an afterthought,
unbeknownst to me of his adoration.

Freckles descend from the
crevices of his endless smile.

I knew him before the war began,
in a time when fantasy was pure.

He is the aged symphony of
my endless melody,

Ill keep on singing forever....

    I LOVE THIS!
    I love it when you right Nature poems, I cry when I read your sad ones and I melt when you right these love poems, you just have it all, and that is what makes you, you.

    The gentleness packs a punch, it is so sweet and lovely to read but it has that depth and grit to it,
    AWESOME

    Maple, this is so lovely, you take us all on such a roller coaster with your poems, the emotion so different but just as strong in each one. This is a heart melter, but for the right reasons, it gives us a smile with a tear!

    Ben is right. (Don't get all egocockomanical now!)

    The line pauses are perfect.

    Each pause granted me a few moments to picture the image that your words painted for me...

    And the one line, that just squeezed my heart the most:

    "He is the aged symphony of my endless melody."

    Small tangent:
    When I read I'll just keep on singing forever, I could hear your voice and pictured you the way I saw you in your video...lol

    Hell yes!!!

    Now thats a frickin love poem..i love the attention to detail in short line here.

    The breaks in the lines rather than in a lump give you that extra bit of time to imagine and relate to what your sayin.

    This ooooozes adoration!!!

    LOVE IT!
