This Must Be Love

Jon Merk photo


As night slowly covers the sky,
And morn after morn ambles by,
So has your soft inner glow
Gently captured my eye.

Not like cresting a tall mountain peak,
Or like eagle and hawk, beak to beak,
Before the need even to speak,
It's your beauty I seek.

As sure as the blue sky above,
As snug as a hand fits its glove,
I surprise my heart - quiet grey dove -
Thinking this must be love.


A bit of fictional romantic nonsense for Susan's prompt  at   Midweek Motif Conquest

    The feelings and the yearnings are spot-on for that of a loved one's presence! Rightly so Sherry!

  2. Oh, yes! You capture the surprise and the yielding, the clues to love, however small:

    "Not like cresting a tall mountain peak,
    Or like eagle and hawk, beak to beak,
    Before the need even to speak,
    It's your beauty I seek."

  15. The last stanza is telling. One may be brought back to stark reality in many instances not privileged in seeing what is expected. Success is elusive!
