Write me a letter, one from you
In which you paint me pictures
In your words, of you and love,
Of places far away, where dreams come true.
Make your words sing to me
Lullabies long forgotten.
Make your words dance for me
Of stars that shine and glimmer
Eternally, like the ones in your heart.
I want to smell the roses you grow,
Run my hands through fields of grass
The ones you see, the places you walk.
It’s only through your words that I come alive
For I have been stone far too long
Now I feel an awakening, a stirring inside
From nothing to hope to something,
That from beyond my horizon,
Your words will float my way
Taking me with you, I can ask no more.

Wonderful poem Michael. It’s amazing how words can convey so much, whether in a poem or a letter, or even an email. Words are powerful things.
Thank you Jackie. Lovely comment.
There is nothing more special than a letter full of words that are really meant is there? My grandmother was a great advocate of letter writing and when I was an adolescent and at my very lowest ebb ever, she wasn’t able to talk to me directly about the problems but we used to write each other letters. They weren’t deep and meaningful just passing the time of day, but I treasured every one. They told me that she loved me in spite of how I felt about myself. God I miss her! x
They are treasures to hold on to Pooky. My mother died over thirty years ago and the week before she died she wrote my a letter. My mother had the ability to write you a page and manage to tell you nothing. But I carried that letter round with me for many years until it fell apart on me. I wish now I had taken better care of it. Letters, mailed ones are rare now days.
Michael I truly love this, this would have to be on my current favourites of yours. Writing a letter by hand – the art has been lost sadly, how beautiful and so much more connected are we when we spend the time to do. For I have been stone far too long ~ a poignant line. Excellent my friend ~ smiles.
Oh you flatterer you. If I did handwrite the problem would be reading it which could detract from the whole romance of the thing. But thanks very much for your very generous comment. Happy you have rated it so high.
Credit given where credit due my friend. Yes if your handwriting is like mine – perhaps just keyboard is the way to go – but not nearly as personable. 🙂
Thank you.
Beautifully written. Lots of passion.
Thank you so much Kim. I hope you are well today.
