Listening to every heart

0 posted 2006-03-08 01:32 PM



Beyond the Pale

Stoically he
nethers my world
completely unfurls
my sails
as he propels
he prevails
through the gales
goes once
then again
beyond the pale

and I would sail away with him

he sights me
highlights me
then cleverly, wittily
delights me
brightens my way
every day
sings the song of my heart
delights in my art
gallantly adds chivalry
to bravery
takes a bit of daring
puts in all the caring

and I would illuminate his night

I look for him
I see his soul
young in old
a bard of gold
old he’ll never be
the graying is just
a way to see
a fantasy
of haunted light

and I would treasure him tenderly

For his soul glows rose
O do concur with me
this coveted man
captures poetic plan
painting in motion
safe harbor from ocean
harbor thee my art
steal command
seize my hand

and I would listen to learn again

for he’s stolen mine heart
all along
in the course
of prairie song
it’s not wrong to long,
to subsist like this,
written bliss
smells sweet

and then to breath him in

so to thee

from whom I derive
all that makes me alive
for it is how you play
the words that pay
the tribute kind
now please don’t mind me
when I say

~*~

You may have your way
with your words
as you discern ~ that
they do not escape unheard
but beg to be spoken, so

solid gold slips
these tokens
from my lips

to your ear
hear me now in
whisper soft

for you wing me aloft

and raise me again
to new fancies of height
finger with me the stars at night
under a pale moon’s faint light
to receive sun’s delight

all these the reasons be
why you linger beyond the pale

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Sissie....There are many men at passions that this could apply to, me thinks.  And, I would add my voice to yours, can I please?

To be written so.....he is a lucky man, and I hope he fully knows the extent of it.

ROFL @ Jamie... whose antics gave me my voice back... for Sunshine's poem took my hands from the keyboard... and I'm not sure she could have heard my applause. *S*

the phone rang while I was reading this... it was my sweetheart, who hates poetry... he wanted me to look up something for him... I said wait.. I'm reading. He said I need it now. I said SO DO I! HUSH!  
It's just magnificent Ms. K~~
and much too good for the likes of his red neck *wink*, so I will keep it under my pillow and dream!!

Sunshine, I read this when you posted it but I couldn't find words to express my awe. I though if I waited a day or two I would but it hasn't happened yet. All I can say is beautiful! :-)
