Love's Hesitancy

Sunday Muse Image


hesitant to gaze into your eyes
standing before you unfiltered
in the garden of love's paradise

my  roots have grown deeper
birdsong nesting in my head
does vulnerability make me weaker

feeling the ache of darkness
tempestuous storms bewitched us
beneath skies that were starless

in this moment face to face
will our limbs intertwine
in the heat of warmth embrace

 reaching for you in the night
crows lurk to steal a dream
but, our eyes will usher in light

 

linking with The Sunday Muse

Thank you for visiting
love, light and calmness

      Where there is darkness there is always a flicker of light.

      Haha , true the vines/limbs seem to grow together in that garden.

    I like your garden. "does vulnerability make me weaker(?)" gives room for being vulnerable or getting into the swing of things.

      Vulnerability a complex ingredient in love.

    "crows lurk to steal a dream" - dangerous to have crows near your dreams. They will steal just about anything.

    I love the image of birds as translated into birdsong. Beautifully positive.

    So beautiful. I especially love "my roots have grown deeper
    birdsong nesting in my head."

    This is lovely and shivery--the lurking crows and the storms are palpable shadows across their potential happiness but I have believe in them. :)

    Wondrous and purrfect word usage.

    Love can certainly go/grow through dark times, and then there is light to guide us through it all. Love your interpretation of the image.

    'our eyes will usher in light' - what a beautiful way to close.
