Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “M’Love” by: rob kistner © 3/14/24
Just beyond the garden wall
across the meadow
last night’s dew clings fondly
to our willow’s cascade
enwrapping it
in crystalline embrace
comes a zephyr’s stir
it shimmers
as if bejeweled with diamonds
sparkling in the morning sunlight
a splendor befitting
the lush beauty
this bright Spring day
has begun clear and crisp
bird songs lilt gently
carried on the soft breeze
our willow rustles
a tender murmur
I see you afar
approaching on the woodland path
backlit by April’s sunrise
your hair flashes golden
a’burst in dawn’s glow
I am a smitten lover
beholding my beautiful beloved
I watch you
as you stop by the willow
a’swim in wildflowers
your head tilts upward
eyes close
lost in nature’s serenade
in this moment
breathtaken
my love spills over
desire kindles ’round me
until I am ablaze
you fix your eyes upon me
your lips sculpt a smile
then a kiss
good morning they say
I fly to you
take you in my arms
swept up on passion’s wings
this golden morning
I am consumed
by the sweet fire
of m’love

You had me with the first stanza. Have always loved willow trees and to see it resplendent in your words in this stanza….truly beautiful. Sigh….you’re giving Sanaa a run for the money in terms of most romantic writer!
Thank you Lil. I am a hopeless romantic, which, when the pendulum swings, can make me dark, cynical. Two sides of a coin, at least in my case. Sanaa has a more steady grip on her romantic nature. But then then again, I did as well at Sanaa’s age. Hope she never loses it… 🙂
So romantic, Rob. You might remember that we have a beloved willow tree i our garden.
Thank you Kim… 🙂 Great tree… 😉
So many wonderful lines in this work.
The opener…
‘Just beyond the garden wall
across the meadow
last night’s dew clings fondly
to our willow’s cascade
enwrapping it
in crystalline embrace’
sets a whimsical, fairy-tale scene.
Uplifting.
Thank you so very much Shirley… 🙂
Beautiful poem, Rob.
Thank you Dwight. I still remember when the sap was rich in my veins… 😉
Oh this is beautiful Rob and so well written.
Appreciate the kind words Kim… 🙂
This is so romantic… I adore how you describe the play between nature and girl… just perfect place and time to meet.
Thank you Björn — this grumpy old man still has romance in his heart. It shines when my emotional cloud cover clears… 🙂
