Purple's Platitudes

nothing but words …

Want

25 January 2012

Want

 

I want to play in mud puddles

and kiss you in the rain,

my pinky holding your pinky,

with nothing to explain.

 

I want to wake up beside you

and gently touch your face,

expressing more with just a touch

than words could ever say.

 

I want to watch as you create

reflections of your heart,

crafts and candles infused with love,

a kindness you impart.

 

I want to give you my shoulder

and tightly hold you close

when the world crushes your spirit

and you need me the most.

 

I want to live my life with you,

sharing everything,

from heartaches and tears, to all the

chores and joys of living.

 

In all of the ways that I can

I just want to love you,

as simple as those words may sound

it’s all I want to do.

  1. Lovely, Purple, and the first verse was especially delightful:

    I want to play in mud puddles
    and kiss you in the rain,
    my pinky holding your pinky,
    with nothing to explain.

    The simplicity of desiring love in our loves; wonderful job! :)

  2. Michael,

    It’s the wants in life that can be full filled. And the simple little words that mean the most. The puddles, the pinkys and the plans along with the sharing and shoulders. Can it get any better? I say yes. With each day it gets better. And I’m so very glad. A beautiful poem from a beautiful person. Loved it. —— TY—- Ashley

    • Ashley, simple little words are sometimes the hardest to get from the heart to paper, but I keep trying!! I too am very glad, each moment, each day I smile more, giggle too, and my list of “wants” seems to get longer and longer as more and more ideas start to flow and become reality. I am happy you like the poem and even happier that you see more in me than I sometimes do in myself — but then again, I also see a beautiful person in more ways than I could ever find the words to express in you!! Let’s keep wanting the same things (as well as different things too) as long as we want them together.
