beyond the place you tary
in the ribbons worn by pain –
and the scars I love
I kiss them in my dreams
you come to me
and I to you –
in perfect imperfection
to touch the words we’ve given
jasper wings
to know of north
you surely are –
home within my longing
as sparrows rush the night
and sense the way
the same as these
were given you –
hands to trace you backward
winds to sail
and I your name to hear
dream of me in fields of clover
call for me that way
and I shall walk on oceans
to your door
to lay against the crooked boards
that rise to give you reason
touched against the places
of your love

How does one reply to or comment on perfection? This embodies the spirit of romance with every emotive word. Just simply perfect, Bobbie. One of your best.
…..always,

Thank you, Paul. I won’t remind you that you’ve said that before (and I was appreciative every single time)…. Thank you…… 🙂 Much love, Bobbie
Homing pigeons and turtle doves, mourning doves and singing/sighing hearts do call to me with comfort and love right now, after reading this lovely post. Thank you so much, Bobbie!
Oh, Rose, those are indeed messengers of romance and love……..such creatures of beauty and light. Always they call to us with their songs of love, gratitude and blessing. Thank you so much, Rose. [BTW….I do believe my comments are still going to your spam folder, and based on my experience with Linda, I’m fairly certain they’ll keep going there until you click on the ‘not spam’ option beneath each. But regardless, know that I am loving your words and your mini-ministry of light.] ~ Love always, Bobbie
love, touched with the words of your embrace…This was beautiful “call for me that way
and I shall walk on oceans
to your door” Oh I would as well, I would….
I know you would…..because your heart has the strength of ten thousand winds ~ the strength of love. Thank you, Linda. ~ Much love to you. ~ Bobbie
A quintessential poem of love and romance. The words make the heart soar with the sparrows. And I love the thought of “perfect imperfection”. Outstanding.
Dee, I thank you so much. Maybe it’s wisdom (or maybe it’s senility), but I’ve come to understand that the things that make us imperfect are the same that make us perfect, for they are those which make us uniquely us (perfectly us). There is no ‘barbie doll’ life, and if there was, who would want it. There is mystery in managing, and beauty in brokenness. Unbelievable beauty in being as we were intended to be….. Thank you (again). Much love, Bobbie
As I am sure you can imagine, I am drawn to those ribbons of pain and love scars, something about perfect imperfection connects with my flawed heart and calls it out. Lovely Bobbie x
Vanessa, if there’s a woman who can’t relate, she’s not a woman I want to know (just kidding). Our scars are our beauty. They may be proof of pain, but more than that, they are proof of survival, endurance, and courage. They are proof of love which healed us from the inside. You are beautiful in more ways than you know, and all that is broken only makes you moreso! This I know for certain. ~ Love, Bobbie
“..as sparrows rush the night

I stop to breath out of “perfect imperfection”.
I need to take words with me to make them my favorite.
I have to invent a new word to express Your poem.
Your words shared with us
Made my world perfect this moment.
Thank You for showed me a direction for flight.
Your poems are always in the corner of my thoughts.
Thank You Bobbie!
With love,milena
Milena, you’ve given me extra reason to fly this day. Thank you, my lovely friend. I love you! ~ Always, Bobbie
