Dreams like Pennies in a Jar



Under moonlit sky we go for a drive
radio playing, sitting side by side
shimmering stars, a few clouds in the night
weatherman said it would rain but,  he lied
love I give to you free, keep your wage
dreams like pennies in a jar I have saved
woven memories, stitched by hand I made
remove your mask, I long to see your face
lovingly we embrace, our wounds we nurse
healing, within our spiritual church
finding sweet bliss, to deny  would be worse
forgiveness,  deposits in our soul's purse

sighing, lightening life's load from our back
true love tattooed, we will remember that

posted for dVerse Bout Rimés  creating a poem with these end words:  drive, side, night, lied, wage, saved, made, face, nurse, church, worse, purse, back, that..

  13. The weatherman lies away
    But mother nature does have its way
    A drive within life
    Free from strife
    Releasing dreams two go
    Together as the dreams flow
    Nursing such wounds to health
    Pennies to dreams brings true wealth

    1. Mother nature sure does have her way
      causing turmoil on any given day..
      following dreams is the way to be
      listening to the whispering trees..

  14. In WA state, along the the coast, weather forecasting is simple; if you can see Mt. Rainier, it will rain soon; if you can't see it, it's already raining; a sterling piece this, both the use of the words & the form.

  17. This poem has an aura of faerie dust but its glitter doesn't deny the truth of what is said. Sometimes it's better to let love happen even if it breaks your moral standard because to deny it is even more immoral and wicked. Well said and beautifully written.
