There Stands a Gentile Walk

Ocean scents float through open windows
Waves whispering sultry duets
summer’s kiss after kiss
I hear the moon recline…
Bringing in high soothing tides
Floating on the backs of sea gulls
Your voice reaches with lavender
Purest essence settles me
In poetic wine…red and sweet
You are my blood, my flesh my mind
A light evening breeze begs for you nuisance
Warming me…capturing my unbroken attention
Under the blanket of the moon…where night exposes
New dimensions….we gaze in gentle slumber
Across the cup of daylight, charming us to the 11th floor
With our hands around time…pockets full of rose petals
sprinkling
We walk cloaked with the honeyed lips of morning
Beneath faint echoes of the open sea
Where paradise free hands our minds
Enamored by warm memoirs
Radiant moist breath of liquid gold
You are a genius ray of paintings
From whence love is linking
Reflections of light in ocean waves
Curing for us a golden display
Excited sighs of a child
Enigma of fragrance, this river emits surprise
Sound pours discovery and understanding…feeling the green of Ireland
Cupping free spirit…not to tightly, letting it flow
But in a union only true admiration knows
Melodic fellowship…of a twelve string guitar
Classical sounds and spiritual moments
All family has entered writing money on my mind
An immaculate ear gives birth to strength

Listening to every heart

Lee, your critique button is open, and I would not want to bruise your sensitive heart.   I have no problem with your words or meaning, but could you give "space breaks" between thoughts?  I think your poetry would be read more, if it were not jammed together.  I am going to assume for the sake of the process that you may go with "stream of thought" writing...which is a good thing... ...

but unless there's a break between those thoughts, to give the reader a pause to ponder...it becomes difficult to know what it is you really want to tell or share with us.

Does this make sense?

I think that this poems speaks of a brilliance rarely seen, and it should NOT be changed in any way, for me it reads fine, maybe the other poets are trying to write it how they would have written it, but it is not their poem it is yours.

When read as it is it displays urgency, please remember that you are just the poet,you just write the poem, it is up to other people to make out of it what they will.
Once you have finished it, it no longer totaly belongs to you but to what others see, feel etc, what i get out of your poetry may be different to what others do, that is why we are individual.

The poem was lyrical and coloured with words of many hues, enjoyed it.Thanks.

Jack.

Mystic One...many thanks for your comment

Sunshine, I have read your work...it's brilliant and do not take your comment as an insult, don't worry, but as a suggestion...you have given me something to ponder.  Thank you

Sy...always good to see you in there...and many thanks to you for your comment, as well.

Noah...you are a dear dear person...thank you for the well wishes

Kaoru...thanks so much, I so love your poems

Jack...I find your comment amusing and kind and chivelrous, but, also, what you said is very true.  Most people who read my poems think I'm expressing my love for a man...and sometimes I am, but most of my poems depict a spiritul relationship that is oh so great and powerful...and is a Man of many names.

As far as poets critics...that to I find ammusing and very rewarding at the same time.  And your so correct...the poem "is me", who and what I believe in. My very significant essence and signature. So, it really doesn't matter if others read or what they think and believe, what matters is, that I listen...and maybe learn from them on how to articulate myself in a maybe better way, so that my words reaches others in a more complimenting and significant way.  The day that I grow to old to learn, is the day I might as well roll over and give my flesh up to the grave.

Many many thanks to all of you, don't worry about hurting my feelings, as I'm pretty mature and think skinned...and Jack...I do so appreciate your very generous comment.  Smiles and hugs.
