Images

by Lawrence J. Henriques, the Snowman - Not entered

Like meadow grass caressed
 by the misty morning dew,
Love, I yearn to awake finding
 my arms still enfolding you.

Like golden sunlight bathing
 swaying spring flowers in warmth,
My heart longs to gently touch
 your love's entreating hearth.

Like radiant moon beams in,
 the still autumn harvest air,
My fingers wish to flow through
 the tresses of your soft hair.

Like waterfalls cascading,
 down in a mountain forest,
My lips desire to touch yours,
 ever softly without rest.

So hard it is to capture,
 the moment when we first met,
Love, words can paint such landscapes
 of true wonderment and yet,

Though extraordinary,
 they are most heartfelt and true,
There still are no images
 that can serve justice to you.

Reason for writing:

    Brought from my heart, to my mind, by the sweet muse, Jean
Louise of Sidney, British Columbia... As always, inspiring
such wonderful images, yet none compare with the sweetness
of a single smile that radiants from her lovely countenance.
