I would walk for a hundred mile,
Just to hear your voice, to see your smile,
I’d scale a mountain way up high,
Just to see you soar, to watch you fly.
*
I’d swim the length of an ocean wide,
To watch you float on a moonlit tide,
I’d catch the stars that light the sky,
And gather diamonds passing by.
*
I’d steer the moon that claims the night,
To swathe you in its resplendent light,
I’d weave a path through constellations,
Trailing dreams and declarations.
*
I’d keep the sun from slumbers wake,
To catch your dreams before they break,
And I’d hold them in my palms up high,
So you’d know love and you’d know why.
I had a recommendation from the very talented http://polysyllabicprofundities.com/ to check out ‘Romantic Monday’. Such a great way to spend a Monday, so I wrote this piece with that in mind.
Nice. Serene and romantic write. 🙂
Thank you. A bit brighter than my usual tone, dark is so much more fun to write though 😉
I completely agree. 🙂
So beautiful…just what I needed to get out of a grey funk. Thank you:) Oliana
Thank you so much 🙂
Ah you’re welcome…you do write so well. I was in dark mood all day.

There are so many lines I Iove here and the ones that caught my breath were the last line of each stanza…just beautiful.
I saw this phrase in a sign today while out Christmas shopping. It captured exactly how I feel about my daughter…over the moon in love with her. God’s most wonderful gift to me, and my husband, ever. And what you wrote so beautifully captures the essence of those words. Bless your talent for lovely verse…
Thank you for such a beautiful comment. I’m so glad it came across like that. I wrote it not really thinking of any particular relationship and hoped it would cover different things for different people 🙂

This verse captures exactly how I love our daughter…TO THE MOON AND BACK. Helen’s verse brings the phrase to full bloom…so beautifully. I bow to her poetic talent…

Wonderful words. I love you. I’m with you.
Thank you so much 🙂
This works on so many levels. It’s just gorgeous. I can apply it to so many people in my life. All of whom I want to make feel the way you describe. Really beautiful.x
Thank you for such a lovely comment 🙂
That’s tender and beautiful. So much so that I can’t even attempt humour. Great job, Miss Helen.
Thank you. It’s a bit brighter than usual, I may be sickening for something 😉
You’re not wearing a Santa hat are you? Is that it?
This is beautiful. You definitely write poetry with heart and soul; not to mention you have great rhythm. I love (prefer) rhyme and structure. It is difficult to believe you are a beginner poet (not that I have been at it for very long either).
Thank you. I don’t think of myself as a clever poet, I just write what I feel and the rhythm just happens. I’m pretty basic, lol 🙂
There is much rhythm is this romantic ode. Filled with the warmth and comfort that only true love can bring.
