The very thought of you
ripples these words,
Flapping and tripping over
slippery tongues.
Imagining the imaginable
in your presence,
Embraced by the charm you
await me with.
It’s easy to excite
boredom when you invite,
Our near rendezvous sends
my heart aflutter.
Cherished memories connect
our separation,
Your handsome world has
inspired my muse.
Perched high above the
world of monotony,
I seclude myself within the
confines you offer.
Snatched times at ease in
this togetherness,
Your sunny location oozes
warmth and beauty.
Trivialities seem less
fraught in this sanctuary,
I hug your being and defer
waves of goodbyes.

The last few lines struck me so beautiful I couldn't help but close my eyes as I recited them:
ReplyDeleteI seclude myself within the confines you offer.
Snatched times at ease in this togetherness,
Your sunny location oozes warmth and beauty.
Trivialities seem less fraught in this sanctuary,
I hug your being and defer waves of goodbyes.
A truly magical piece of work :D
Lots of love
Sanaa
this is such a feel good poem Eileen, the words dance in a spirit of joy..the warmth of the destination could be felt in almost every word..."Cherished memories connect our separation, / Your handsome world has inspired my muse." most beautifully wistful lines & my favorite..Bon Voyage!!
ReplyDeleteAh, sometimes one wants to deter those waves and hugs as long as possible....keeping that feeling of togetherness as long as one possibly can.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and warm emotions drenching the hearts :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear Eileen, just imagine how dull life would be if we didn't have people like this in our lives!! Very imaginative...and interesting piece.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely.......a visit to someone dear.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your opening lines, I knew you had found a place that opens your heart even if you just think of it:"The very thought of you ripples these words," where better to imagine?
ReplyDelete"Perched high above the world of monotony,
I seclude myself within the confines you offer."
Oh, do, do, and as often as possible!
Beautiful. Love those ripples.
