Falling in Puddles...

Old Bank Street, Manchester, UK by R.A.D. Stainforth

listening to the rain

feeling each others pain

walking together in silence

climbing stairs to your flat above city lights

stripping layers of ourselves

bare and vulnerable we softly touch

sinking into the quilted comfort

we dance to the rhythmic beat

of rain hitting the window pane

singing sweet refrains of love

lightning strikes, thunderous

in darkness, finding light
falling into puddles

easing our pain

as one

Forever Weeping

 

In  sorrow the willow will always  weep 
opening  her heart , tears  softly  flow 
crying for a world  that  has fallen  asleep 

planting seeds,  waiting for  dreams to reap 
under moonlight her slender  branches  glow
in  sorrow  the willow  will always  weep 

protecting precious secrets you  keep 
hidden in her trunk in the earth  below 
crying for  a world that  has fallen  asleep 

awakening silence she counts  lost  sheep
across the river  the wind  does  blow
in her sorrow the willow will  always weep

some will  fall the mountain is too steep
darkest nights, will the blackbird crow
crying for a world that has fallen asleep

hope in a horizon, sun begins to peep
will today be the day that love will grow
in sorrow the willow will always weep
crying for a world that has fallen asleep

Scentsational

floral

cherry   blossoms

promise  filling  the  air

transitory   nature  of  life

full   bloom

~

cherry 
 flowering   tree 
 awakening  blossoms
pink and white  petals  call  me  home 
 safely

~

sweet   scent 
 cherry  lined  street 
 all  roads  lead  me  to  you
 tangled  in your limbs, petals  fall 
 fruitful

writing about Cherry Blossoms

Until the River Meets the Sea

until the river bends

and I drift into the sea

in my heart you'll always be

love a mystery that never ends

laid my dreams in a river bed

heartache, silent ripples of loss

skipping stones with just one toss

recalling all the words we said

riding  waves through eternity

rolling off shorelines of paradise

tossed in the waters of sacrifice

seeking a piece of serenity

until the river bends

and I drift into the sea

in my heart you'll always be

love a mystery that never ends

lulled to sleep, by a mariner's song

billowing sails of tranquility

verses of poetic sensibility

tears wept for a love so strong

beacon of light flickers ahead

parting  clouds ,  sun does shine

slowly giving birth in a river bed

those wondrous dreams of mine

until the river bends

and I drift into the sea

in my heart you'll always be

love a mystery that never ends
