"Love - No. 12" - a poem

love
is the aspect of my true-love's hair
in storms and mists and when weather is fair
a beacon of Home on stormy seas
a visioned goddess from the bended knee
breezy beauty on a warm summer's day
loosely restrained in spring gardening play
from hats of autumn stubbornly fights
sweet nuzzled softness on cold winter nights
flys and flows when unfurled and untethered
is bound to be bound for business endeavors
errant as always and annoying at times
like the hair of my beloved, a color sublimed
love

Donna - Well now, as a matter of fact I did. Memories of how your hair flits and floats when we are on our drives were quite prominent, as were some others.

Wilhelmine - I'm glad you liked that line. As fate will have it, "No. 9" is a potion referenced poem.

Reminds me of "Sweet Child of Mine" - her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide

Very sweet. There's nothing like when a man runs his hands through your hair. "Breezy beauty on a warm summer day." Nice line.

I hope you know I realize how incredibly lucky I am, although I have no clue in the world what I did to ever deserve you....I love ya with every fiber of my being....
Ok, I suppose that makes me a sap too, so be it.
