~ while Iron and Wine say it best, I will add some of my own visions of love today ~
husband
You let me snuggle
husband
You let me snuggle
icy toes resting on calves
and I sleep smiling
doves
sweet warmth underfoot
sweet warmth underfoot
promises of tomorrow
future round and cool
ruffled feathers envelop
until doting mate takes o'er
children
laughing eyes light on
my stooped visage uncurling-
run screeching to arms
held straight with a back born fresh
now with love's sweet compromise
Ahhhh...I do love this song. In my next life, I will marry someone who sings this to me every day. :)
ReplyDeleteYour words are lovely, also. But I'm not marrying you. Not even in my next life. Although do I hope we're still friends...
You know it's funny, I *know* I shouldn't comment after three beers. Yet here I am, doing it anyway. If my words don't make as much sense to you as they do to me, please don't hold it against me, m'kay? ;)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI really like the part about the husband. It was so sweet.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
My Blog

ReplyDeleteLoved them ALL, but the children one REALLY touched my heart!
Great song!
Thanks for sharing....X
Sorry for not being around much this weekend. It was Victoria Day weekend and finally nice most of the weekend! I spent every waking moment outside gardening - my favourite pastime.
ReplyDelete@Me: but I did stop for a beer at the end of my toils Ms C. And cheers to your birthday! :)
@Sara: Hi Sara. Thank you for stopping in and being so kind.
@Shanae: He was always the best for that. That to me was the ultimate expression of love. Miss that on cold winter nights...
@Brian: Well, thanks for hosting Brian. I thought that I would look at love from a few different vantage points.
@Ron: Thanks Ronnie! I am a pretty lucky woman, as that is usually how I am greeted by my babies when I arrive to pick them up at the end of the day. That fills me with a pretty special love. :)
