Ode to Seattle

by D.L. Stewart - Aries - Not entered

Oh, the splendor of your very being evokes my heart to swellAs I breathe within your bosom I savor the seduction you instillOur time as one leaves me craving the moisture of your touchSubmerge me in the taste of you; come now, I'm not asking muchEmerald are your eyes, by height dramatically tallYet reaching down you brush the Sound; could you be real at all?I'll never know now, I must leaveBeyond the bliss of my dreams I'll be shrouded in griefReplacing you will be my absurd illusion

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem as I drove away from my beloved Seattle.Employment took my husband and I to a different city.
