Strawberries And Wild Flowers Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Let me know
When the storm is finally over
Tell me when
The clouds aren’t swollen with resent
Oh, I still long for a world that’s lost to me
Maybe it’s still there
With that little girl who’s scared and dreams of…
Strawberry kisses and wild flower wishes
Moonlight lullabies
Glittering fireflies
A sky filled with twinkling stars
Undisturbed by deep city lights
Teach me to laugh
Stop me from crying
Watch me fly on silver wings and dive
Into a crystal sky
Warm cozy fires
Some kind of loving desire
I only long for home
A ride through the woods
The creek singing softly
Warm sunrises and feelings of peace
The fantasy I thought life was
The dream I thought existed
Singing to the moon
Coals hot from use
Magical verses
Endless meadows
Get me away from here
Take me where I belong
Let me taste your strawberry kisses
I’ll watch you make strawberry wishes
Fall in love with my childhood friend
Remember his hugs all life long
Remember the day I said goodbye
Oh why did I get lost
Every reason to go back
Wafts through my room
As I smell your skin
Feel my room
Love my aunt
Already past the gates and running to your arms
Home again where the stars tell a story
And the love tastes like strawberries
And my hair smells of flowers.


*Dedicated to my aunt and her home in the country area of Colorado. Also dedicated to the first person I've ever been in love with....can't wait to see you again.*
