alarming loft via angel’s breath
no more than a word spent to send me there
her smile stealth, though not meant as such
my heart exhumed for another chance
what sheer delight to discover thus
a shared desire, but could it be
that life-long err still deserve her love
I’ll question not, pray it come to pass
exquisite grace from thee I watch
your kindness flows for all to see
and when the reaper, my life arrest
may I cease by your side, most humbly

What an amazing picture these words paint in my mind! They are full of ‘exquisite grace’, just like the Seraphim they describe.
Thank you, Mauri. Jennifer brings out the best in everyone she touches. I am truly blessed to have such an “angel” in my life.
Al, you have brought me to tears today, what a soul filled stanza, that evokes the
essence of true love you and Jennifer share.
“exquisite grace from thee I watch

Beautiful, Thank you. ~Monica ;~)
Aww…thank you, Monica. *Hands lovely friend a cyber-tissue* I constantly marvel at Jen’s talents and grace. I thought it would be nice to celebrate them with my words.
What stunning imagery and beauty!
Thanks for sharing Al!

Hi Sammy. It brightens my day to know you stopped by. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed my poem.
That is absolutely beautiful, Al. Eric used to write poetry for me and I know how special it made me feel to see his words expressed in such a way. You painted such a touching portrait of Jen; you both are very lucky to have each other.
Thank you Karen. Jennifer is truly the kind of woman who comes along but once in a lifetime. Words fail to do her justice, but I’ll continue to try. Thanks so much for your warm response.
Oh this is absolutely beautiful Al! So very lyrical. Breathtaking….nice job!
Thank you so much, my lovely friend.
rhythmic splendor – well done.
Much appreciated, Tim.
An angel indeed! Words felt by touch, feelings released in words. What a great poem!
