Daybreak





The day breaks, the breeze comes up
I think I hear you calling on the wind
My heart soars with thoughts of you
A silken moment, carefully lined again

There’s a fragrance in the air
The pungent odor of the morning tide
Like an intimate memory lingering
Summer’s intoxicating reminder, inside

A written message you’ve left within me
A floating bottle on relentless shores
A dawn in every darkness rises
Like a house with many unopened doors

Only you hold the hidden key
Reaching inward, the locks set aside
To free my spirit within this wind
Floating together, where desire resides

Earth and sky depart, then intertwine
Consuming thoughts emerge anew
Other hearts in the other skies are beating
But not as strong as mine, for you


Dans tes bras c'est mon destin



OSI#124: Overt

Romantic take on the prompt. And who else can hold keys to inner world?

Other hearts in the other skies are beating
But not as strong as mine, for you

Hi Rob;

Thanks for your comment in my post and I do appreciate your concern...

Thank God, the typhoon missed our place, it was in Metro Manila which was hit and ravaged by it...

We live in the province far from the city so we were spared...

Have a happy weekend...:-)

This is wonderfully written, Rob.
So romantic and told in such an allegorical way, you've not not written a line here without a metaphor.
To me your message is very strong, told in a sweet, sweet manner.

Forgot to mention your nice rhyme as well. I doubt that was easy coming up with. It all seems so natural.
