I see you afar
approaching on the path
backlit by sunrise
I sit
warmed in morning’s window
watching you
as you stop to rest
in this moment
I’m consumed by you
as your lips sculpt a smile
I’m swept away
on love’s sweet tide

So sweet Rob… before that smile of she seeing you I thought maybe it was about stalking #greatrelief
It is Bjorn, it’s the heart stalking it’s loved one, in a sweet innocent way…
Love the anticipation in this, especially the line “warmed in morning’s window.” Beautiful.
Thank you De…
Aww…
…shucks
Your romantic poem is such a relief after the bleakness of Björn’s quadrille, Rob! How exciting to be watched by a lover when ‘backlit by sunrise’.
Thank you Kim, glad it lifted…

Unable to comment anywhere because WordPress says I don’t exist, even though I’m definitely logged in to both WP and my email account. Just thought I’d share that.
Also, the poem is lovely.
Thank you Xan?
So you must not be a WP site, because this is the only dverse share I’ve been able to comment on, including dverse itself. Very frustrating.
I see you Xan…!
There is something almost spiritual about the moment when a loved one turns to see, recognizes you, and smiles. Really sweet poem, and I think I’ve seen you use this image before but you spiced it up?
Thank you Lisa…
Very romantic scene.
