Analysis of Sentimental Curls



Whispers of love capture the dawn's cool light,
magnificent colours swirl in the day
while language dances inside this fine heart.
Rainbows somersault in a deep blue dream
as birds flutter wonderful feathered songs,
inhale sweet life's old mystery and laugh.

I push forward into a subtle laugh
that slips promises through tomorrow's light,
sorrow is nowhere as my tongue flips songs
across a brand new scented blissful day.
Heaven's charming grins lift a fragrant dream
into the secret places of my heart.

With a delicate gift pinned to my heart
I skip through the fields of a wondrous laugh,
the universe is a generous dream;
lithe in its sparkles of delicious light.
Alive in the folds of a joyful day,
on the tip of my rapture are wild songs.

Passion whips at delight with gentle songs
as emotion gathers beats of my heart,
twirls of fascination crash in the day
and I hiccup while I'm lost in a laugh,
my soul's set on fire by an Angel's light
as I swim down the rivers of a dream.

It's a simple sigh that lives in a dream
while complexity bathes within soft songs,
but here I'm balanced on a beam of light
as God's breath roams the chambers of my heart.
All I can do is juggle His white laugh
and enjoy all the moments of this day.

Flowers waft aroma through this bright day
that engulfs every single, precious dream,
intricate poetry spills a mad laugh
as I memorise the lines of her songs.
I'll present my dear lady with my heart
as I recite these new formed words so light.

Sentimental curls light up in my heart,
and I will dream as she opens her day,
for wrapped in the songs is a special laugh.
