lavender lines

tumbleweeds thread the head of a pin
while the size of our love’s always been
reminiscent of the dreams laden in your hands
like the flavor of morning dew
know that I’ve always seen you
in my mind
a place in my heart you always reside
while lavender fills the lines
and the love within me shines
together with the sun, the moon, and the stars
awaiting the next time
we hold hands under a canopy of two hearts
forevermore entwined

Dear Jeff,
What a sweetly penned poem of delicate love and fond reminiscence!
The chosen painting is also a very nice accent to the feel of your poem.
I wonder why you have chosen to rhyme the following lines and not the rest:
All in all, well done!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle

Jeff your poem is delicate and a precious gift as is love itself. I absolutely love this line, «we hold hands under a canopy of two hearts
forevermore entwined.» Each line more beautiful then the one before the next. BRAVO my friend and the painting is so perfect. Sending my love, Joni

Lavender calms me and it’s that perfect share of purple that I love dearly. This poem feels comfortable and serene, just what I needed at the end of this hectic day. Here’s to more lavender lines in the future for us both.
