Dragonfly

by Maple Tree   Dec 27, 2012


She completes the exit
in a soft whisper, as her
eyes look in the distance
of a soul that radiates
her heartbeat.

The vows she hears
are the grand entrance
to what she feels for him.

The days flicker by like a
melting candle, each moment
is precious when loving the one
person who rests by her side.

In the arms of a man that lights
her heart, like a dragonfly in love-
he fills her thoughts with
peace, hope, and tranquility,

He is her breath, as she
is his spirit, to carry on in life
as in death, for they are eternally
bound together in love.

~ For James~

"Killian, the Goddess I serve, looked down upon man and woman when they were created by Ishap, the One Above All, and saw them apart.
Man and woman looked heavenward, and cried out in their loneliness. Hearing them and pitying them, the Goddess of Green Silence spoke,
Saying, "You shall not abide apart". She then created the institution of marriage as a bond to bring man and woman together. It is the melding
Of souls, minds, and hearts. It is two become as one.

From the book: Prince of Blood
By Raymond E. Feist

    Beautiful poem Andrea and it's so sweet this is for your husband! What purity here, what love that really has is bound in something so deep. Very soft images, loved the uniqueness of incorporating the dragonfly in love. How simple yet how profound. Beautifully written :]

    What a beautiful love poem for your husband Andrea...seriously. I feel as if you could of only wrote the last stanza and it could have stood alone as a poem. The power and affection in it was just amazing.

    This is beautiful, the two of you are inspiring. I love you!

    ^^ this is my favorite part. Love is beautiful and the way you portray it with your words shows it.

    This was a very sweet, romantic poem.

    He is her breath, as she
    is his spirit, to carry on in life
    as in death, for they are eternally
    bound together in love.

    I really enjoyed the last stanza. Especially the first part where it says "He is her breath." Because when I think of my fiance, that's what he is. My breath.

    I haven't read this book so my comment will just be based on my thoughts....this unfolded like some ballet performance combined with an opera IMO...

    She tries to get his attention although...secretly she knows she already has it but...it's a game they both love to play? He adores her so much that he is willing to pander to her game knowing that the senario will always be the same for....they are in love....

    Beautiful write and a very creative way of telling us all you love your man and he loves you too!
