These Have I Loved 2014

These have I loved

Softly simmering scented candles

Cradling their melted limbs in a candy dish bowl

These have I loved

A summer storm’s thundering bass

As lightning flashes and keeps the pace

These have I loved

The fierce movements of the surging currents

Beneath an aquamarine tide

These have I loved

Walking beneath a sphere of radiant yellow

That heats and greets my face

These have I loved

Empty wine bottles that are hung from the

Tree branches to capture the light of the day

These have I loved

Novels promising worlds of adventure,

Thrilling plots and escape

These have I loved

The soprano plink of ice against a

Porcelain mug of white

These have I loved

Writing poetry in a room filled with me my book, and my words
