the world is
black and white
with shades of grey
where epitaphs are chiseled
to remember the day
you last brought
color to my
life.
i miss
your plum lips
breathing rainbows
across my horizons.
how much longer
will it be before
you are home
from the grocery store?

I miss your plum lips breathing rainbows across my horizons....
I want someone to think that about me.
awesome. Lisa
breathing rainbows across my horizons.... great line!
Breathless...just perfect. Your wife is so lucky *smile*
Way cool that you miss her when she is away for a short errand. This is loving and fun.
This one struck home with me. Mine missed me so much at the grocery store, that he now goes with me, when he's in town.
Oh, Brian, she may not be home for a long, long time. Shopping can somtimes be grueling. Maybe a foot rub upon her arrival...I mean for her:-)
I think Mr. Sister might benefit from the school of WayStationOne! Love it!
I get so hungry for time on my own that I think it would take me a lot longer to miss someone.
So much chemistry, so much synergy...
Beautiful, Brian.
Is it romantic love or stress of being left alone with the kids?
Yes, Brian, how frustrated are you.....really?
I miss my wife when we are apart, too. She is the blue in my partly cloudy sky.
I love that line.. plum lips breathing rainbows across your horizons..
Lovely..
Totally absolutely lovely..
wow.. thank you for posting this for us to enjoy.
This is really good, Brian. The subtle rhymes and the use of colour are powerful. The last stanza is a surprise, but not a shock (coming from you). Lucky lady.

That was a bit dark, eh?
just a little fun love note tonight. it got a smile...and that brightened the room.
The way it should be ...
you are too cute!! this makes me giggle!! i know my man hates it when i am gone, the kids drive him nuts!!!
great poem i just love it!!
so. husbands like you DO exist, hey? s'nice to know. :) this was beautiful. she is one lucky gal. sounds like you're very lucky, too!
That was sweet. Hope she appreciates your beautiful poetry!
Very pretty.
And I hope she remembered the beer! ;)
You want the chips, don't you?
You're such a sweetie.

OHHHHH! You're getting ready for Valentine.
All romantic and such, and then bam.....the grocery store. Good ending.
I dig that. Very, very much. Awesome, Brother.
brilliant and adorable!
how I would love to get a note like this when I go to the grocery store. Instead, I get twenty texts "don't forget icecream" "can you buy this or that?" "when will you be home?" or my personal favorite while I'm driving home from the store "we just ran out of TP are you still there?"
so romantic...
Sooooo cute!!!
Well, I think YOU should have gone to the grocery WITH her!
Just sayin'!
What a lucky lady...
This was great!
Wow - do you REALLY miss her THAT much when she runs to the store? You need to live in 400 square feet and be together 24/7 for just about 5 years. Then you will look forward to those little breaks! LOL!
Seriously, you are too cute and that was real sweet. :)
this is the most incredible piece of writing i have read in a very very very long time
just absolutely floored
no words, brian
damn...
You should of saved this for Valentine's Day....it is absolutely beautiful.....:-) Hugs
Sounds like love to me. This writing is beautiful. Thank you so much.

Awesome poetry, Brian...but the last line made me laugh! :)
because that box of cookies is calling your name!
Very sweet, Brian.
Whoa, romantic. Love it!!!
Ohh
too short and sweet.
but that is the sweetness
and the sentence period.
Ha!
fondly,
Dianne
Wow - that's the perfect valentine.
Leaves me wondering....
Beautiful. :) I wish I got love notes like this one... Or I wish I got any at all... ;) You and your wife are both lucky to have each other! Well done.
Just fantastic! And with such a twist at the end... fabulous description of rainbow kisses.
Sigh.
You are such a romantic, of the very rare kind as well.;)

Awww, you are so sweet to write this for your wife.
You should try to go to the grocery store with her sometime. My hubby used to never go with me and then about 5 years ago he started going and he has now discovered that he enjoys it. He talks to the employees at his favorite store and has them special order things for him. I never knew they would do that with the large chain grocery stores. He likes it when he finds things on sale and saves money. A lot of times he will stop on his way home from work and this now saves me trips whereas before he would never go.
Now it is a fun trip for us to take together. The only problem is that when we are together we do tend to spend more money then if only one of us goes to the store, especially if we go to Costco.
Plus it is a good way to teach the boys how to shop properly and save money. Maybe you could turn grocery shopping into a family night. The grandkids enjoy going with us when they are here.
God bless.
Beautiful!! well expressed emotions.. :))
Take care
ha ha haha The question always arises...wouldn't you be better doing the grocery shopping which is the only way to ensure you get what you want?
I bet she brought fresh colours back from the shops!
Very sweet.
Gee, this was fun... smiles. It's a good job romance keeps... nevertheless I hope she wasn't too long at the grocery store.
So romantic! I loved it!
Hugs

...with a bag of Double-Stuffed Oreos.
Loved it.

if she is in Belguim at the moment at the grocery store....euh lots longer. We have just a little bit of traffic chaos due to one inch of snow.
Until we learn to drive through a tiny bit of snow, you'll have to wait. Sorry
That is so adorable!
the real question is....
do you miss the rainbows, or the snacks and beverages that she will be bringing home? hahaha!
Awwww! You are such a sweet romantic! Your wife is one lucky woman! ;)
With the weather, all trips become dicey ones...
very nice Brian, great post, have a wonderful Monday and thanks for ALL your support :)
As you like to say in comments, Brian: smiles....
I would like to think that u said:
I miss my wife's plum lips breathing rainbows across my horizons...
but that way, it is less interesting!
very impressive writing,
romantic and creative,
beautiful post!
Wow,
U True
And
Cool,
I am glad that u decide to visit Amy,
some of our Rally members get 3-7 awards, but refused to say hello to her...Well, It does not cost anyone anything, but it shows your inner beauty when u show love or care to those who has given love and care in the first place.
beautiful blog,
outstanding brian!
Chill, dude, most women do not want to be ravished the minute they walk in the door!
Sweet and adorable...a winning combination!
I don't think this is about a woman at all. Well it might be. But it seems like someone was lost to death and before they left they said they were leaving to the grocery store and never came back. Am I hot or cold here?
so sweet.
ah yes, I sometimes wonder - is something wrong with me? i love solitude.
much love
xxxxxxxx
Such a romantic, you stay home and write poetry while she goes and lugs a shopping cart around ...in the wind, and the snow, and the sleet. There'll be a few 'plum' words issued from those lips I'll bet!
I love that last line!
Wow. Just wow.
Love it. Like always. Your wife is a lucky lady. Everyone should be loved like that!
A fantastic tale of longing, the twist in the last line really emphasizes the love you have for your wife. Great work.
P.S. I read the comments saying that your wife is a lucky lady, may I add that you sound like a lucky man to have a wife who elicits these words.
i am very lucky indeed!
Aw that is so cute!She's lucky!Enjoy the return from the grocery store ;)
You guys are just too in love. :)
I love how your words bring me in and then at the very end ... surprise me!!!!!!!!!
Breathing rainbows across my horizons? OMG! I'd like to get into your mind to see just how you come up with such wonderful images!
You're in love, love, love! Very sweet!
I had to read this one again........ I love this one too. I'm glad you wife smiled when she read it.
You don't have an Uncle or a big brother that is single around 47 to 52... do you?? who can write like this.. ?? lol...and living in nyc..??
I've got plumb lips breathing rainbows across my horizons right now, and I love it. She's more than incredible and definitely a literature person, I bet she'd love that. Again, wonderful piece!!!!!
Wonderful ending! Your good!
Hi! Brian,
All I can actually say is...Wow!
I wonder what your thought would be when she (your wife) return from a trip visiting her family?
;-O
@Willow...LOL!!!!
Thanks, for sharing!
DeeDee ;-D
I miss your plum lips breathing rainbows across my horizons...
Tremendous line. One of the best I've ever seen, actually.
I finally made it over. Hooray!
Brian, this is wonderful! You're wife is very blessed :) And the line about the plum lips? Exquisite!
Happy Thursday,
Jen
