Windswept

a simple love poem

art ~ Gary Benfield

Don’t hasten the winds that tenderly tease

and breathe gracefully, as the falling leaves

rain from heaven, as soft as tears wept

 

Let us float carefree, as wildflowers dance

in a warm embrace, with the ambiance

of beauty, forever, in our hearts kept

 

We’ll gather this breeze, this sweet disarray,

only for two, and here we will stay,

together in love and completely windswept

not a problem mam....

a beautiful love poem...and really nice rhyme scheme...you do it so naturally, including the slant rhyme of "tease" and "leaves" and then "dance" and "ambiance"----
the entire poem has that "ambiance"....

still quite edible to read ur work again after such a long span of years, of course. adored the magnetism of these lines: "together in love and completely windswept." excessively deep... & lusciously remarkable as always. worth reading & time investing, as usual. looking forward to your poetry, shortly.

Love can be a complicated thing; can take many forms; it is also, in its way the simplest of emotions; and for me, this lovely poem captures both the simplicity and complexity that is the driving force of our species.

Beautifully written from first line to last.

Beccy.
