French Artist Jean-Gabriel Domergue

Domergue

 Lately, I have been immersed in poetry, music and art! 

Below is a rambling I pinned yesterday...ENJOY!

 

 In my dreams

we dance,

whirl and spin.

Softly taking my arm

in and out

moving freely,

lightly,

rain falls 

in our path 

it kicks under our feet

we drink

cooling

loving

as we move

slipping over the water.

How you hold me,

gathering

loosely

pressing your face to mine, 

your hands are strong

and when you let me go, 

it is never for long.

Always loving,

Always coming back for me...
