Roses and Rainbows
( Free Verse)
What a truly ravishing thing our
love was my darling, you crowned
my whole world with perfumed roses and
wondrous rainbows.
To be the idol of one's idol, what could be more
perfect. Our lips touched and we became
one kiss, we made love and we
owned the universe.
How then, can I not smile, when I think
of the first time you came to me. Clad in
starlight, you stepped right out of my
restless hope filled dream.
Living without each other, we said,
would be like living without the sun.
Today I smiled, as I picked a rose from our
beautiful garden and felt the warmth of 'your sun
wrapping itself around me.
A soft breeze laced with your heavenly essence,
gently teased and lifted the hem of my white
cotton dress,
and do you know what darling,
I could have sworn that
rose,
smiled back
at me.

WELCOME DEE ~ Thank you for your elegant first poem. It is "free verse" but it has great structure and rhythm and flow. I'm a performance poet and I found it delightful to recite ~ six tight stanzas and the seventh (for poetic reasons) an extended one ! The title complements the content. LOVE is exempilified by Roses & Rainbows and you have captured that. S1. Ravishing love S2. Idol of one's idol (I love that !) S3. Memories of the first time S4. Living alone ~ like living without the sun (beautiful) S5. Feeling the warmth of your sun enveloping me! S6. Loved the coyness in this verse ! S7. "That rose smiled back at me ............" The last verse confirms that the subject of the poem is a departed Lover and completes the perfection of the passion in your perfect poem. Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
