Do I need fifty dollar words,
candlelight and wine
to express what’s on my mind?
I’m not one to write
heartfelt emotions
in rhythm or rhyme,
no poet am I,
and fancy words can’t match
the hue in your eyes,
so I’ll be wise, take my cue
and simply whisper
“I Love You”
An oldie from my poetry collection, Finding a Balance,
Something soft for this Sunday. ❤️🥂

Thanks, Marina! You’re so kind! I haven’t written new poetry because of working on my book, which I’ll be posting about soon. And then I’ve been writing the short stories for a challenge and change. So, time for an oldie. 🙂 Hugs and hope your day has been beautiful, too! 🩷🌷🩷
I’m very glad you post these. They’re not “oldies” to me! 😉
We’re having a breather with cool winds as we expect a heatwave sometime during next week. So those winds are extra appreciated!
More hugs your way! ❤️😘🤗
Well, thanks again, and our weather is the same. Stay cool this week, and more hugs coming! 😃🥰❤️🤗🌹
😘💗🤗
Beautiful 😍
Thanks, Paula! ❤️🥂
Oh Lauren, this is such a sweet and tender expression of true love. Now, whose heart wouldn’t melt behind your powerful words simply put, “I Love You!” 😍💖🥰 Girl, pull out that bottle of Chardonnay! 🍷🍾🥂 Cheers!
Oh, you’re so sweet, Kym. Years ago, I used to write a lot of romance (a lot) inspired by my wonderful hubby. And I still do, but my poetry has shifted in various directions which makes me happy. I want my writing to evolve. Sheesh! Sorry for the long reply. Anyway, thank you so much, and the bottle is ready for pouring. 😃🥂🩷
Honey, the older we get, it is natural to evolve, because that means you are growing in new and innovative ways. 🥂 It’s good to have someone inspirational in your corner to help birth those compositions! YES! 🤩😁😍
Exactly, Kym, thank you so much! And yes, he’s a keeper. 🙂 Big hugs to you again! 🩷🥰😘😍🦋
