Leaning in, she
Loosens layers
Latched to his heart
Listening quietly
To laments
Of loneliness
Bare, his soul lay
Lost, lusting for love
Longing for hope
How so like him
She learns is she
Laboring for similar things
Belief whispers gently
Never too late it is
To receive what is lacking
Lovelorn, lost as well
Lending him her lips
Limbs entwine
Lure strong, powerful
Legacy launched
Lives eternally linked

Is this linked? How did I miss this earlier? And I'm so glad I didn't miss it totally because it is amazing.
Beautiful!
What alliteration!

Very nice...missed your posts...Have a blessed holiday season....bkm
Oh my, oh my.
Liked the first stanza, nice use of alliteration throughout.
Indeed, a beautiful use of alliteration—like a tidal wave of L-sounds energizing the lines. Nice write!
Polly,
I absolutely love your poetry! It's moving and sentimental. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh how lovely. Legacy, indeed!
Loads of L's here, but my favorites:
"Loosens layers
Latched to his heart"
- and, of course:
"Lending him her lips
Limbs entwine"
Absolutely beautiful and poignant.
Lovely!
What a loving and aching poem! You've stolen my breath..It's just that wonderful.
Very, very clever! :)
Polly
