A Handful of Words by C.E. Vance (best ereader under 100 .txt) 📕

Whispering serenade - if I ever hold you closely for a while,
let words only end with the sweet touch of your smile
Approach each moment slowly - savoring the taste of our wine,
fruits of awaited fortune becoming mellow with time

Whispering serenade - a sharing of hearts is true love made,
romance sincere, the purest flourishing, to never fade
Hold all dear unto yourself - it's all for you and no one else,
enjoy each moment - then place them gently upon the shelf

Whispering serenade, the years will come and pass us by,
soon they'll find you - alone -  with infinite tears to cry
For loss weep not - treasured years are full of wealth,
with memories there - remove them lovingly from the shelf

Whispering serenade - reflect on times we had at our best,
remember our love - shared heartaches survived each test
Hear every word - spoken often from depths of soul,
while away the moments - and from death's shadows I'll stroll

Whispering serenade - a voice from hereafter calls your name,
depart into sleep - awake in dreams from whence you came
Awaiting you now- walk with me through life's other door,
forever as always - all of  heaven greets us once more

Whispering serenade - now I'll hold you closely all the while -
words only ending with the sweet touch of your smile
Approaching each moment slowly - savoring our lasting wine
fruits of awaited fortune - lasting till ends of time

With rosy cheeks and a whimsical smile,
merriment’s child assumes a pixy’s wile
Donning ribbons and bows of silken gold,
in promenade she sings a joyous ode

A spinning carousel complete with ponytails,
long tresses flowing in the whirlwind’s gales
Adorned in frilly clothes from head to toes,
decked jewels of sparkled spangle glows

In trimmings suited for a royal queen,
brightest gem steals each moment’s scene
Around about in her magical light,
room glistens with the enchanting sight

With skip to my lou and giggled shoo fly shoo,
like flies in the buttermilk she flies away too
Far and wide to where innocence dwells,
the heart of a child casts its whimsical spells

C.E.Vance

In sanctum's aisle - welcomes the surrender,
blessings sipped from Heaven's sweetest wine
Vineyard's yield, brims each vessel served,
paying homage to the nuptial's woven vine

Vowed hearts bestowed- each to other's keep,
night's embrace void to succumbing still
Love’s absence of falter - prevailing the years,
vestige of plummeting trestle’s, forever nil

Beneath the veil - smiles every moment's dream;
a mirrored facet from night’s brightest star
Roses aligning aisle for petal strewn way,
bows homage to image of their beauty’s par

Mist of morn moistens a long sharing kiss;
offered in liquid depths of jade colored eyes
Timeless recall -- to paint the elegant views,
portrayed with the promise of everlasting ties

In sanctum's aisle - welcomes the surrender;
blessings sipped -  from Heaven's sweetest wine
Vessel's serving- each heart's contented yield,
till time's eternal, our love is a woven vine

Spoken muse at evening's edge,
given its voice from long ago.
A view in place - outside the reach,
forever spawned by twinkle's glow.

Awing wonder - presented by night,
a voyage beyond dream filled eyes.
Threshold leading past the moon,
through the door, to endless skies.

Ride along on a falling star,
whisking by the facets of light.
Chase the flow of stellar winds,
a wish upon - taken to flight.

Shining pebbles within the grasp,
worlds displaying a sun in rise.
a will-o-wisp taken in hand,
an elusive lure becomes the prize.

To lands in lights of pondered glints,
oceans awash on new-found shores.
Horizons discovered in leap of night,
abreast with heaven - the dreamer soars.

To boarders of the clustered field,
sees a height of sparkling showers.
Crossing depths without moment's loss,
a witness to paused sweeping hours.

Come touch the face of father time,
for journey - his stance so still.
Far in distance he patiently waits,
once again - a venture so real.

Sloping hills stretch into lush green valleys below -
a place where picturesque scenes of flowers grow
Silken petals aflush with rich colorful hues,
shaded reds and yellows to brushing of blues

Showy mixture abounds, mid breezing blades of grass,
standing tall throughout the hill’s calm majestic pass
Billowing winds whisper - with a soft sweetened flair,
sweeping blossom's fragrance across the open air

In the hollow flows brook's water so crystal clear,
pronounced babbling heard - upon approaching near
Across rocks it rushes in the season's showering rains
imparting life to many in its coursing veins

Above the surge and beyond- alighted birds sing
some pausing to preen feathers on a ruffled wing
As tree’s leafy branches hold them safely aloft
from their haven, chirping voices sing cheerily soft

With flowers dancing beneath blue cloudless skies,
wind's whoosh gives nature's orchestra steady rise
Combined - the harmonies play daily without cease,
music composed provides the valley its tranquil peace

Gathered to self in lonely still,
residing within darkened decor
Way restricted with all blinds drawn,
latches bar your threshold’s door

Looking past the inner bounds,
lost words reveal no path to soul
Mind adrift on hush of scene,
into your guarded world I stroll

Remnants become unhindered sight,
clarity surpasses each subtle shade
Come wakened images before my eyes,
daunting shadows slowly portrayed

Pretenses on a moistened smile,
guised tears glisten where they fall
Uttered in soft stammered voice,
sighs stumble from behind the wall

Embracing loss in memory's past,
face of betrayal enfolds like night
Plagued thoughts embrace spirit’s core,
a mocking love that felt so right

Avert your eyes and see me near,
I wait outside the bleakness viewed
Seek a wish that fulfills the void,
deny the bearers of false allude

Gathered to self in lonely still,
residing within darkened decor
Release the latch to all blinds drawn,
my heart is knocking at your door

C.E.Vance

Beneath floral laden arbor,
love sought is never denied.
Heart's dark plaguing shadows,
find nowhere to reside.

Array of tailored blossoms -
harbor no stinging nettles.
Offer within sheltered bay -
bears your silken petals.

Comfort found in longed embrace,
always clad with sweetened veil.
Pondered scenes from wishful dreams -
follow close in myriad detail.

Opened eyes deliver your thoughts,
image evoked awaits you here.
In my arms is where it dwells,
surrounding blossoms always near.

Blemished hopes from foolish care,
deceits guised in offered bouquet.
Sordid scourge from wilted bundle,
finds no keep in arbors stay.
