Proclamation
I love you
and I’ll
shout it from rooftops.
Chisel giant hearts
through Mount Everest.
Take out an entire edition
of the New York Times.
You love me
and you’ll
preempt the president.
Send our rocket to Venus.
Fly fluorescent banners
over the United Nations.
Let’s write our names
on this perfect sky
so even heaven knows
we are in love.
***
I see you in bright colors
Eating red ripe watermelon
while searching verdant trees
for bluebirds flitting pass us.
Remembering how fields
of brilliant wildflowers
beguiled us as we inhaled
fresh mowed grasses.
You would smile fingering
purple passion leaves.
Your favorite hour when
wide awake you listened
to the sounds of dawn
calling all colors out to play.
We shared the calligraphy of
oceans watching orange sunsets
splash through waves.
No one else has ever evoked
such a shining palate as you.
Love how vivid these poems are! I can feel the emotions pouring off the page 💕
