Whispers in the Wind
Wandering thoughts on love

Love is when the flowers smell just a little louder.
The birds—they chirp in lilacs a tone or two up higher.
When you smell the thoughts behind the word or two they say.
The fragrance or their charming smile is never far away.
The spark their eyes are carrying is colour from your dreams.
No swindling, no lies, no games - it’s always what it seems.
Love is when you physically just go about your day,
but heart and mind and soul are still a thousand miles away.
When autumn’s rain and wind are singing soft instead of sharp,
you slowly trust them caring for your bruised up tiny heart.
And moonlit night has never been so friendly before him.
The piney shadows dancing on the pale’n’white beach rim.
Dark and foamy waves have now a warmer wing to show.
A while ago I only heard an omen echo slow.
Love is when the therapy is hearing sound of laugh.
Worth more than golden jewlery is handmade juniper giraffe
Dueting with the laundry and hoovering the floors,
showcases adamantly us when less is truly more.
It’s when red turns into burgundy and blue ends up as teal,
when green is now viridian and rainbow’s white is real.

Fucking hell Cristal. This is beautiful..sorry re my language. I was stunned to read this was your first published poem. For real? You are as I've said before supremely talented. I felt this to my core and it reminded me of how I felt first being with Ruth and all the times I've been reminded of that joy since. Thank you for taking part. I am now reading the entries and catching up to John and once we've conferred we should have the results this week. But yea this was fucking beautiful
Beautifully written… I especially love all the colours.
an absolutely beautiful evocation of the experience of first love.
Wow, this is a beautiful poem! You've picked the perfect words and weaved together to create such serene imagery. I loved it. 😊 (inspired by the love of your life/dancing partner?)
This was so beautiful. Loved your poem!
