The darkness is coming among us
I headed out to the rocks to see
The crocuses were among my feet
As I slid along the slippery slopes
To find the one I love
I had to have a closer look
His feather flamed was dosed dull
It was icy and cold to the touch
The look of passion was not mistaken
He saw me that I knew
That trinity of need made the flames flared high
The sacrament of broken need
He ran towards me around the rocks
The water falling in my lead
So much of what he was
Took me by the heart
“What is lovely is what I see” as he whispers to me
What passes to loveliness pleases thee?
The touch of hands
The look so slightly
As the waterfall drops’
The swirl of water ever so slightly
Feeling the drops to my dress
It plasters to my skin
As he took his hand to my face
The shivers of my soul
It pleases me to know
Unhurried as if to please him so
The guilt to having doubts
Took its toll under the waterfall;
The kiss to kiss meets with the lips
Much awaited love to hold us now
The passion that sees the lovers brace
As I meet you at the WATERFALL.

Beautiful poem. Very moving and sensitive.
Thank you Lee… that means so much to me..
Deb this is remarkable. You are coming into your own as a writer. With each poem you exceed your own previous skill and take it to another level. The growth and power you express with imagery and metaphors and exciting poetic flair all comes together to create these mini masterpieces filled with heart, emotion and tidbits of glimmer inside your beautiful soul that we are rendered mesmerized and speechless. By far (even tho I have many favorites) this to me is one of your bests but of course all of us will have our own. You are ready to publish a Love poems Book, I think there are not as great love poems poets like u n this decade.
