Day Five
What could be a better gift than a book of love poems? Perhaps poetry is not your cup of tea but think of it like this. The book of love poems can work like a card. It says words you want to convey but in written form. Books of poems can be found at the brick and mortar book stores or on book sites on line. Both my husband I do electronic reading. We can access one another’s account and order a book for one another. Last year my husband gave me in lieu of the book of poems a romantic suspense novel instead. That itself was a nice surprise as I do like a good romantic suspense to read on occasion. This morning I found he had a new poetry book added to my collection. Such a surprise as I was sure I’d find an IOU for today. Actually it was me given him the IOU for the book of love poems. It’s not that I did not want to get the book for today; I could not find one that really spoke to me. I found a few, read the description but none seemed to just hit the spot for a purchase. I’m sure eventually in the next week I will find one. I need to keep searching. That’s one of the things about showing love, finding the right words in a card. That is the reason behind a book of poems; you might find the right words.
A few years ago I published a book of love poems. A few I used in previous ramblings. Over the course of the next few weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day I will either post one of these pieces or a quote from one or two.
Today I’m posting a piece I composed in 2017 after an evening stroll down by the lake. It comes from events in my life.
Until tomorrow....perhaps you and that person could read a love poem or two together.

WISH UPON a STAR

A pinkish tinted full moon shines down giving us light as we walk towards the lake
Reflecting moonlight on the water
Casting eerie shadows upon the ground
A warm April night strolling to the end of the dock
Taking a seat on the bench
Staring out across the water
We do not speak....both of us lost in thoughts
I wonder what you are thinking.....do you care what is on my mind
Silence it's deafening
Looking up into the evening sky
stars sparkle like a million diamonds
I find a star.....make a wish
You reach for my hand
Then whispering you say
"I love you"
