A screened porch, a chair
my lover, braiding her hair
She sits nude, catching glimpses
from the curious sun
Her eyes stealing the gold
from Heaven’s best trinket
Why would I value that mere ball
when with her, I have it all
When with her, I can control
Heaven and Earth
as Hell is but a rumor
farthest from this moment
since she is beyond all low light
She wears a halo about her
an aura, of a pure yellow veil
woven by angels
wrapping one of their own
No, I shall not enter
upon her moment
I will admire from here
I’ve set myself aside
within the corner of a shadow
smiling like a grateful audience
I am the grand witness
to something so rare
An angel, resting here
upon my porch, my chair
Bathing in sunlight
and braiding her hair.

Beautifully penned, Mark. Another excellent write full of love and brilliant imagery my friend. Amazing read as always brother. Appreciate you.

Thanks Damian. She was asking for a “love poem” since several of my latest were not so lovely I guess. LOL. And the picture really did give me inspiration to jot some lines down, and this was the result!
what a beautiful moment to capture so lovingly she sounds just awesomely lovely…I felt the reverence here and it touched my heart ❤️
She is beautiful! It’s easy to be motivated by the scenes that we create as we live our lives. All of us. A moment to appreciate what we have is always a good thing to write about. Her energy is contagious!
Thank you Brenda for the comment. I was due for something along this subject!
Of all your love poems this one made me get 🥹 eyed.
It’s beautiful and that is how you make me feel all the time.
I’m kinda speechless:)
Love you and all of your magical words babe.
Again speechless:)
Of all of your lovely love poems this one made me teary eyed 🥹.
It’s so touching and magical to me. I felt like a fairy princess reading this.
I love you and all your magical words babe.
I’m speechless! Kinda. Hahaha
Smooches!
Saying that you’re beautiful is me simply stating the obvious. Whether it’s your smile, or the way your hair flows, or your aura of energetic personality, all of it, you are an incredible woman. I will never, ever, be bored around you.
Some moments are too precious to intrude upon. I think you just captured the essence of that perfectly here
Hey Willow!
We had gone to the beach, spent a lot of time doing whatever beach stuff there was, etc. Once home and chilling, there was a nice moment on the porch, winding down. She did have a blanket wrapped around her though. It was a great little time all around. The picture was one of a few capturing that time.
