Ode to Seattle

by Debbie L. Stewart - Aries - Not entered

Oh, the splendor of your very being
evokes my heart to swell
As I breathe within your bosom
I savor the seduction you instill

Our time as one 
Leaves me craving
the moisture of your touch
Submerge me in the taste of you
come now, I'm not asking much 

Emerald are your eyes
by height dramatically tall
yet reaching down 
you brush the Sound
Could you be real at all? 

I'll never know now, I must leave
Beyond the bliss of my dreams
I'll be shrouded in grief

Replacing you will be my
absurd illusion

Reason for writing:

    My husband's job took me to the Midwest...and as I sat staring out my frost covered window at the flat, bleak landscape, this poem filled my head, my heart and my soul.
