A tender kiss
The lingering hand against my face, begins to trace
Explore my heart, a whispered start
In my dream last night
Somehow
The words slipped out
Beyond my reach
Again
I lost the sun
To the musings of tomorrow
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have that dream
Again tonight
This picture is dedicated to #TuesdayOrange #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra who colors my world every day.
Leaning on the doorway, the entrance for which
Waiting for my heart to separate
Reality from not
Yes, it may. Yes, it may.
Oh, the loveliness, a burst of beauty and covered the color of love.
Say you’ll be mine
Say you’ll be mine
When the sun shines, one of the times
You can see, I’ll never be free
Until that time
Until that time
Say you’ll be mine
Happiness divided by two is multiplied.
Memories don’t fade, they are my own
Whispered words lay
Holding them safe
Waiting for
When the time is right
Again
This picture is dedicated to #TreeTuesday by @Old-Guy-Photos! Let's put up some trees today! You know you want to!
Let the light in
Reflected from a greater source
Reach for the moon, hang on to the stars
But always remember your roots
Advice from my tree
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank you for allowing me to muse along... and just so you know, there is always a muse or three left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again. I love this world with all my heart, although some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

"sometimes straightforward and sometimes almost woven into the fabric to avoid detection."
I just love what you said. 😍😍 You are good on words, Denise, so you can really do this. And you describe it so vividly, I can imagine it!
Is one of the flowers called daffodils? It is very pretty! 😍 We were taught a song about daffodils back when we were in elementary, and the name of that flower stuck into my mind. When internet days came, I searched what "daffodils" looks like. Hahaha! 😂
Photos are amazing, especially the ones facing each other, as if talking. 😍
Thank you @gingbabida! I am glad you like my words. I often wonder if I should skip them from my posts, but, I do enjoy playing with the words, so I leave them :)
Yes! thise yellow ones are daffodils and they are a spring flower. They arrive in very early spring, sometimes there is snow on the ground. Not here, because we get very little snow if any, but, many places north of here. I will have to see what songs there are for daffodils! Now you have me curious!
I am sorry I didn't get to the contest yesterday, I worked the night before and had errands and then just fell face-first into bed the first chance I got! :( I checked today and the date has expired. To be fair, I wouldn't feel right entering a contest I donated to, however, I hope it got a few more entries and if not!!! You have a grateful winner! :) I wish you luck and thank you for hosting this wonderful contest!
Have a great day!
!tip
I researched it now, and it's a poem by William Wordsworth, but was taught to us with melody. Hmmm, I wonder why. 🤔
That's totally fine, Denise. You need not explain. I know that you are busy. Your support and donation is more than enough. I am most grateful for it.
Have a pleasant day ahead. @dswigle
I actually learned many poems by way of melody. I think it is easier for kids. :) Thank you! I will have to look it up now!
Well, there is where you are wrong. I told you I would try and I wanted you to know that I had intended, but, got too busy (I haven't even finished the Market Friday from this week yet!)
And you are important enough for me to at least give you an explanation on why. I am most pleased to be able to do anything to help. Thank you for understanding. And I do wish my feed were better. I miss so much!
Thank you and have a most wonderful day!
!tip
Awwww, you are the sweetest, Denise. Your words sent ripples of warmth to my heart! 💕💕💕 Thank you so, so much @dswigle, more than words can say. 😘😘😘

I believe that if I could completely ignore the craziness life dishes out, I'd be musing most of my waking hours. As it is, I do it a lot, as obviously you do. Words are such fun playthings, aren't they?
Your poem is wonderful and those gorgeous flowers just give it even more feeling as we read along. You are a wordsmith extraordinaire!
It's a real rush for me when I can write my deeper thoughts in such a way that the reader identifies with what I've said and fully understands, but it's also nice to know that someone simply enjoyed the way I've arranged the words.
Thank you so much for such a warm and wonderful comment like this. Oh, but, musing really is fun, isn't it? Words just laying there until somehow they make magic to my ears.
I won't sit and dwell upon it. The words come in five minutes or they will never come
I have no idea why I started pairing the pictures to words, but, to me, they seemed almost incomplete without them. So I began giving them a few here and there. Now, I can almost not stand to put up a flower without one. Although I do. Some people need a break from it.
Yes. It's true. :)
Thank you again for some of the best comments ever. Have a great day!

Hey Denise. How are you? Lovely photos as always and that confession of love in your dream that slipped away. Sounds compelling and I think there is so much more to it.
LOL Oh, do you now? Well, I am not a kiss and tell! Well, I sort of am, but, words have a way of saying more or less what you mean. Somewhere between truth and fantasy, something like that!
I hope you are having a most wonderful day!!

Simply splendid.

Oh, but, it is!!! Come closer to the sun, you are much too far away! We haven't had winter yet, which in the Washington, DC area seems strange, although they are not ever harsh winters.
No snow, no freezing temperatures, although it has dipped down at night. Where did our winter go? Too late now, they just need to move on to spring. It is too late to start this winter thing now!
I hope you are having a most delightful day!

Another wonderful day in the neighborhood, Joan. For some reason, we have been blessed with a winter that has never happened yet. I'll be gone to South America for part of February and a cruise on the rest of it, so hopefully, I can avoid it before I have to come back! :)
I hope you are having a wonderful day and the temperatures are not getting the better of you!
!tip
Escaping the winter for the South, then having a cruise sounds a good way to recoup with little to no internet obviously where you will be located. No deadlines nothing drawing your attention away other than having a lot of fun, enjoy!
Hot months still arriving, February is normally our hottest month here Denise.

Well, I will be in South America (Mostly Columbia) next week and then will hop on a cruise a week later.
So, I got enough time off for that :)

Oh my Oh my .. hello goodbye .. must all flowers one day die .. another beauty in our minds .. you give us here through these rhymes .. Shall I shut my eyes .. I fear awake to find them gone.
And folks.. that's why I am not a poet! I'll try better next time. For now I will enjoy your flowery photo's and nimble mind, which is much more delightful than my own.

Hahaha!! You are truly such a wonderful person, Brad. @bdmillergallery Full of fun and well, it just makes me smile to watch you and your poetry.
I have to admit, not bad. Move it around a little and voila! I think it works :)

The colours on those flowers were so vibrant
But it's your musings that got me today <33
Good prose, I liked it very much,
Beautiful flowers. Even more beautiful prose to go along with each. It's amazing how you take such beautiful pictures. For some reason, my hands shake; my body is about to fall over if I don't hurry up and snap. Hence, horrible blurred pics; pics of my feet, hands, and other parts of my body I never intend anyone to see, lol.
Thanks for sharing.
