God Woke Me With His Laughter

Today I spoke with God about you
and how I feel born again
how your kiss is a miracle
that makes me believe in heaven.

I know He knows you
I've seen Him looking through your eyes
I've heard Him whisper to the flowers
about your beauty
and how they cannot compare.

I know that once
God made you into a butterfly
and summered the sky azure applause
as His tongue licked your colours
and dripped rainbow poetry.
I was safe
in the bristles of brush
naked in the paint
karma carved on memory skin.
We were helplessly, madly, deeply
in the depths
and I knew it was love,
a breath of magic.

He gave me a gift of dreams
that never let me touch you
yet I was free to watch
and fly beside you
tracing your silhouette
with fingertip imagination.
You felt me
like you had known me
someday, somewhere
and always wondered
what happened to the one
who awoke to God's laughter.

Very captivating, dear Melissa!

He gave me a gift of dreams
that never let me touch you
yet I was free to watch
and fly beside you
tracing your silhouette
with fingertip imagination.

The joy of expectation and/or recognition can be so intense.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

~*~I'm honoured to receive replies from 3 poets whom I adore and regard as highly talented, so big thank you's and hugs!

I think most poets at PIP perceive me as being dark and gloomy with my poetry, however, believe it or not I prefer to write about love and/or soulmates - I am a self-proclaimed hopeful romantic, afterall.
So, it's good to at least finally post my latest soulmate poem. It's certainly not one of my most poignant or in-depth love poems, but, nonetheless, it feels good to share it~
And yeah, I'm a picture junkie too!

Melissa~

The picture that follows your poem reminds me of a Rodin sculpture called THE KISS.http://www.anthonyarmstrong.zoomshare.com

It is hard to comment on this poem, when it does not give me the strength I require.
Then one day maybe it will, just to say that I have read these words I hope can be enough.

a poet who cares

What a lovely poem! You wordpainted the emotion of being in love with a rainbow palette! I enjoyed reading this vey much! The butterfly touch is gorgeous, a metaphor in itself that makes me smile. (It doesn't escape me that this gorgeous creature is called a Monarch, either; like love, gentleness reigns.)
