If I gave you

~

 

If I gave you my heart on a big silver platter

would you sit with me here at the edge of the moon

Arranging the stars in a musical pattern,

singing along as they whistle their tune

 

Then could we climb to the top of the tower,

counting each step that we touched as we rose

Looking out over the valley in slumber,

trying to guess every dream that they chose

 

Maybe then sail on an ocean of petals,

riding each wave made of marigold leaves

Dropping our anchor just next to the garden,

tied to a web that an old spider weaves

 

Or we might pick up a brush filled with laughter,

painting a kite on the chuckling skies

Run with the string as a masterpiece follows,

chasing a tail laced with blue butterflies

 

Kiss in a rainstorm of umbrella whispers,

splashing in puddles reflecting your smile

Wake up the sun as it snoozes till lunchtime,

rest in the shade holding hands for a while

 

If I gave you my heart on a big silver platter,

showing you life is a beautiful view

Promising all you could ever imagine,

would you give your heart on that same platter… too

This is the kind of joyous love you see in movies, and youth.
Great poem Will.

Thanks Ciara, if only movie love was real. : )

[Soren]

Will this was marvelous. It was dream like in a way, in another it reminded me of a song. Maybe a song from a romantic movie but it was childlike in its innocents and very adult in its theme of love. Loved it.

Thanks so much Soren. I am happy you liked this one.

That is what love should be, climbing trails with each others, facing the hardships together, enjoying the moments together... each step in life, ups and downs, this feels like a wedding vows.

[willweb]

Thanks again for always being so kind to me. I guess it could be wedding vows.

Anytime :>
