Remembering with great pleasure
Strumming arpeggios, against all odds
Deep abundance and resonance promotes
Pasting roses on library walls

What is real meaning, is unseen

Exaggerated travel writer with sense of smell
Intermezzo of magic proportions
Dark-eyed enthusiasm muscular
Staying power of friends, sharpened fangs of soul

What is spirit is undetectable

Sight-seeing curiosity, on wise men totally rocks!
Sounding out a brochure
Together browsing a guidebook
Ludicrous baptismal, front seated bliss
Sensing handfuls of resurrected dreams
Astonishment in a tuxedo
Both listen and wonder, staring into the mirror

What is soul is indistinguishable

Ears pierced and ready to under-go
Feelings of a child…a rare statement of impeccable taste
Drifts sheik naturalness, into contagious charms
The laughter and appreciation belfries us
Like the soft hands of pause, tingling intermission
Forming around an entryway, toward an absurd unknown
Voices talking quietly in the voyage of our room
Timelessness as flesh concentrates on silent sounds

What is heart is indiscernible

Offering a cue of lights and placid sense
Well-being spotted in wide-opened patience
Feeling you, without your touching me
Walking toward a wide-eyed innocence
Drifting toward a center of embodiment
And…..

What is core is not visible to the eye

Plum-tinged tenderness in a jewel-box cloister,
Smiles the clean-shaven face of corridors
Pageantry leans through some high-powered camera’s eye
Pressing bouquets of anemones into our robust sighs

What is essence is invisible to the sight

Timelessness as flesh concentrates on silent sounds

The above sentence is particularly captivating, but the whole poem is just great.

Yes the essence of a soul is perceived ... by the soul.

You say it beautifully!

Love, Margherita

Enjoyable read,
Particularly like the single lines between the stanzas
A good style device

You see inbetween the in and outs of things and paint them with remarkable color.
