An Old Poem for a New Union on the Poetry Bus


Blue wedding ring in flower by Micah Hewett



Stars

This cluster of stars
from night's ancient skies,
      visited your heart for direction --
             gathering colors from reflections
             of passion tears in your eyes;

then, to exist beyond ether
where it was formed,
      discovered your lips --
             kissed by the soul of a feather, slipped
             from sweet air where dreams are warmed

                   and eased love's glow gently to land,

finding eternity here on my hand.

This wedding poem I wrote for Michael 15 years ago is my representation for this week's theme on TFE's Poetry Bus (theme: write a poem for a non-denomination wedding). Argent is driving the bus this week for Don't Feed the Pixies, who we thought last week we had lost forever....... but he is back and his poem on Argent's page is gorgeous!

I'm much more of a prose fan in general but this is a very beautiful piece. You write very well.

I am glad that your friend is back!

susan~ Thanks much...you write very well!
Interesting you would mention prose because I hope that the next prompt pulls that out of me.

Fireblossom~ Yippee, so am I! You must pay him a visit. Well, it is not an order, but I think you would like his blog a lot.

Lydia,

An incredibly beautiful written poem with an incredible picture to connect to the poem! I'm smiling. What a wonderful wedding vow you wrote..and poem all in one. You write beautifully.

Makes me think of a poem I wrote a few years back "Passion flower" or is it "Purple Passion flower"?..hmm..will have to go and check my archive to find the title.

Glad to hear your dear friend is back in the blog world and okay. Good to hear.

Love,

Rhi

I guess every poem has a phrase or line that resonates. This is mine: "where dreams are warmed".

On a poetry bus positively brimming with love, this stands out.

Some really lovely images here.

What a lovely gift you gave him. It must be lovely to be married to someone who writes poetry about you. And for you, it must be nice to be so inspired by your love that such poetry pours out of you.
Happy to hear about Pixie's return!

Lydia said...

Argent~ Thanks much. I see you posted your poem late and must come by...

Belette~ It is the only poem I have written for him, however! Love poetry has never been my forte'.
I'm so glad Pixie is back, also; whew, that was a close call!
