Wrap Me in Ribbons

Wrap me in ribbons,
Golden
as swaying autumn wheat

Wrap me in ribbons,
Green
as rain moistened moss

Wrap me in ribbons,
Cream
as newly hatched chicks

Wrap me in ribbons,
Saffron
as a sweltering sunset

Wrap me in ribbons,
Indigo
as a winters twilight sky

Wrap me in ribbons,
Lavender
as the fields of Provence

Wrap me in ribbons,
Umber
as the rich dark earth

Wrap me in ribbons,
Opalescent
as dewdrops on spider webs

Wrap me in ribbons of Valentines
My love
whilst I wrap you in mine.

  1. Oh - I'd love to be wrapped in all these ribbons... but I especially like:-

    "Wrap me in ribbons,
    Saffron
    as a sweltering sunset"

    A lovely love poem.

  3. has this only been posted such a short time; then realize have read this many times as a silent prayer in artistic prose. This work visually moves me in each verse. Outstanding work.

    Suppose could print it off yet it's the setting of where it lies that calls out the return.
