My Serendipitous Romance
Vacant heart
Fielding layers of incessant gray
Resigned to mediocrity
Not seeking
Yet, there you were
Seemingly too-good-to-be-true
A real life sorcerer
Vibrantly colorizing my world from that first mystical smile
Sowing hope atop ashes of forsaken dreams
Captivation so electrifying
Love’s rays swooning the stars to lasso the moon
Anticipating the next
But relishing the now
Nurturing what is
So “the end” never pecks its way across our page
Euphoria thickens my throat
Tears of appreciation silently pool
Swept off my feet for a lifetime
My Serendipitous Romance

YOU most certainly know how to make a girl’s — year! 🙂 Thanks for providing the endless support and ever-gracious words that inspire me to share. As you so eloquently capture in your Heart Song Ode:
“Though it is far easier to quit
We must step out from our comfortable routines and caves
Entering the world of risk, emotion and waves
Crashing into both life’s challenges and raves
Asking us to to come alive, take a chance and surf the waves”
Scaling those waves makes it all worthwhile. Whether in love or life, Brad, you deserve the very best!
Absolutely beautiful poem, touching and alive! Happy Valentine’s Day!
As yours always touch me… A toast to the magical dance of enduring love!
“Captivation so electrifying” describes new love and the moments in old love when eyes meet in a way that makes it all so fresh again… I love your poem!!
Blessings ~ Wendy
Happy Day of Love’s Celebration, Wendy! Perfect interpretation — I feel the same magnetism now (after 14 years of marriage) as when I first met the love of my life over 17 years ago… xo

Hi luggagelady. Wow! Thank you for calling by and liking my poem ‘Last Working Day’. The Foureyed Poet.
Thanks FP! Your poem left me peering around every corner with chills rolling down my spine — eek! Good job! 🙂
It’s free-flowing, optimistic and soothing. Perfect over afternoon tea. Thank you.
For some reason, I’ve always envisioned my readers downing copious amounts of wine whilst reading my posts…Tea never crossed my mind. Thank you for expanding my vision with your gracious remarks!
P.S. I’m still smiling over your hilarious haircut post. At least you don’t have to endure 2-hour highlights — ugh! 😉
