Yours Forever



http://sundaywhirl.wordpress.com/

Forgive, shoulder, topples, shallows, bolt, broken, gathered, dancing, drop, burst, causes, feet, hoops.



My thoughts of you like shadow-hoops
Skim o’er the dancing shallows
I feel you warm against my mind
And cold against my shoulder

I gathered once, so tenderly
Your words easily spoken
Dreams topple in futility
As hearts lay sadly broken

To forgive you is easy, love
Forgetting seems unending
I cannot drop like work-worn gloves
The causes I’m defending

The door to you I cannot bolt
Or seal with firm endeavor
My feet may seek unbroken roads
My heart is yours forever

  5. Wonderful illustration of the conflict we all undergo with loved ones from time to time. When the conflict is ongoing, the forgiving and forgetting is so much more difficult.

  7. The first stanza grabbed me, Janet. I love the tension between warm mind/cold shoulder. The end rhymes and near end ryhmes work well in this piece, none are akward or forced. Excellent wordle contribution!
