In Song of Love & Rune
our love poem
Love is me and you,
‘wake in bed, ‘till two,
joke and jape and eddy by
the moon.
*
Love is you and I,
lost in our own vibe,
drum and spin and grin amid
our own high note and our
own tune that is so shy.
*
Love is our four feet,
sunk in sand and sea -
the tiny trip we plan to let
our skin
and hair
and soul soak air and sky,
to sigh and let our rum, sole life
be free.
*
Love is work at five,
to save for a new hive.
By day we buzz, by dusk
we’re bees
and two odd peas that have
both lost all hum and jive.
*
Love is you
in my eyes -
the zany view as you -42- eat
milk ice in
a cone;
the way that the
best word (or two) to fit you must be
“safe spot” or
my “home”.
*
Love is me
in my head
then back with you to read you my
new poem.
All I want to say
in text and song -
our calm now wild in
the open, then
back to the odd silk that we
have sewn.
*
Love is all the sun and rain (of us) -
the way that both
can wane -
and if our gold may turn
to rust,
love is sift and raid amid the dust
to wipe the mud
away.
*
Love in us is not
a roar of fire, it’s
an echo, it’s
calm glow to root our
unco wave.
It’s seed and sow,
it’s work and row,
it’s dirt and then it’s
soap to wash and lave.
*
Love is me and you
in a cot out on
the moon -
odd and rare in song of love
and rune.

So beautiful Much love and Light for You both and the beauty and Joy of Your love !
Dear Mrs. Gina - As I always scroll through your presentations to see what I may have missed - This one really caught my eye - Thanks for popping out special memories Jay
You have such a distinctive talented writing style
Most beautiful poem my friend, bravo 😊😊
Oh, how I love your use of verbs in the first few stanzas: joke, jape, spin, soak, buzz. While reading the second half, I had the idea that these would make beautiful wedding vows.
Awww my sweet Red Partner, you guys look sooooo adorable! 🥰🥰🥰 Your poem was so sweet! I really hope this one places in the challenge!
These runes you have inscribed for us bear such testimony to the love the two of you have for one another. May it always wax stronger & never wane.
Some lovely words there Gina and a great picture too to draw us in and a lovely one to leave us with.
Boom! Mic drop! :-)
First, I love the picture. Your poem speaks to me on many levels. My wife, to me, IS "my safe spot, my home." Very well done.
A marvelous poem, and The photo of the two of you made me smile. What a beautiful couple! Now, I have to ask: Is "-42-" a reference to age, or "the answer" or both?
Aww you two are cuties and this was such a sweet poem so great entry.
Aww, this is so sweet, and that pic of you both suits your words perfectly. Well done, my friend.
I’m so glad they extended the deadline for the S&S challenge because this is a very valid and beautiful entry. And You guys looks great together.
This is so heartwarming. I love the photo you added at the end! Beautiful couple :)
Yup, yup, yup...love it
Beautiful, heartfelt poem :) Lovely photo!
