She Lives
It’s been some time since I wrote poetry, busy busy in the content marketing world! Here’s one I wrote tonight whilst sitting on my balcony, it’s called “She Lives” and I hope you enjoy it.
She lives in that cool night breeze
A minty kiss on your cheek that wakes you gasping
A faint scent of jasmine that cloys the air
Leaves you spellbound in her garden.
She lives in the first splash of ocean
Tiny worlds cast rainbows from your lashes
Look to the horizon, a blurred myth
Don’t blink for she is fleeting
She lives in the whisper of the cypress trees
When the earth is still and holds its breath
You will hear her voice if you stand alone
A soft sweet song that brushes each leaf
She lives in that tiny white shell on the sand
Hold it in your palm, its pearly smoothness
Raise it to your ear and listen
She’s alive, she’s alive
She lives in the petals of the sweet pink rose
Tickle your nose and breathe the sweetness
Let her linger a while, her powder softness
She lives, she’s here, she’s always been
