Listening to every heart

The Mirror of Your Eyes

‘Tis right for poet or artist’s eye
That takes up what love belies
What we discern in all reality
Is but conceived by our fantasies

Do see then with heart’s spirit blithe
Those words shared as we hear them light
Sung of souls met, this song sublime
Gives one cause to dance in time

Would with thee I inhabit such delight
If I eyed thee so in candle’s light
To mirror me your pleasure just
That thee see reflected all love's trust

Now Sire, seek these eyes of green
Thy trust I have, this, thy love’s dream
This one heart holds thy passion’s flame
All of which abides, in reality’s name

O do please share with me sheer twinklings
Of thy spirits that roam within your dreams

"Is but conceived by our fantasies"

A line to live by.
Great read.  Really enjoyed this poem.

Excellent write Karilea...I don't recall seeing this before.
I'm so pleased you brought it back.

Sophisticated rhymes, dear Karilea.

Those words shared as we hear them light
Sung of souls met, this song sublime
Gives one cause to dance in time




Sigh ... beautiful!

Love, Margherita

I love your poem, Karilea.  The last two lines are incredible!  Do you mind if I take this to the library?  Your skill overwhelms me!

This is a beautiful piece of writing.  Your turns of phrases are so exquisitely drawn.  KJ
