Anniversary Poem


He loves me…
He loves me not…
He loves me…

Petals fall delicately
On emerald grass below.
They mix with dandelions and clovers,
Honeybees and caterpillars.

He loves me…

Wind picks up the satin ovals,
And teaches them a swirling rainbow dance.
A tribute to the passing clouds
White puffs floating overcast.

He loves me not…

Love and passion fill my heart
As I concentrate on each delicate petal
Like soft silk between my thumb and fingertip.
Gently plucking and dropping
Silently wishing and praying

He loves me…

A thousand miles seems like a million
Days are years and seconds are hours
Until I see you again

He loves me not…

Six months together
And yet I miss you

He loves me…
And I love you.

I lay here in the hot sun
Amongst the grass and petals waiting for you
To come lie next to me
As butterflies dance overhead.
Holding my hand.Holding me.
