Poetry

Sincerely Poetry Amber Leigh Lipscomb

For eighteen years, poetry found me, Wrapped in a crimson ribbon’s embrace, Twelve blooms tied in a bouquet of words, Each petal a verse, each stem a trace. In whispers of stanzas and rhythms divine, I danced with the echoes of dreams intertwined. Sincerely, I offer this heart of mine, To the art that has cradled my thoughts, unconfined.

Patiently...For You Amber Leigh Lipscomb

Out of the blue without meaning to, I fell for you your bittersweet fragile kiss became my acoustic perfume. Rewriting all the unspoken words that not even time could conceal the truth that you had fallen to. In only an increment of time the fool backspaced the wise and took away all your lies and became your blessing in disguise a soul connection that would never leave each other but wait out love together day by day until both were prepared to tie.
