... to just be love

Thoughts of you
are dancing light
in this gloomy day
as raindrops in my hair
replay the touch
of your fingertips.

My steps acquire
the rhythm
of buoyancy
while you shine in me
and I bask
in your brilliance.

Smiles of love
travel as lightning
through the air
causing the collision
of our hearts
within water’s
seductive play.

This moment
reverberates in soul space
where distance
shrinks to zero,
as we fall into each other
to just be ...

... to just be love.

Hi Margherita, So glad you're back and with such a lovely poem. Many of the poets haven't been on the site much lately. I haven't been very productive myself as I have had a lot going on in the past couple of months.

Margherita,

   Just dropped in for a moment for a couple of reads and I found your name and catchy title.   I've read many of your poems, but I think this is my new favorite.
It's still hard for me to believe Englishis your third language, as this just seemed to flow so effortlessly.  Truly beautiful!

It's good to read your work again!

hugs,
  misce'

Dear Martie, thank you so much for your loving comment. You know what it means to be just love.

Thank you, dear LeeJ, for your beautiful reply. I know the kind of courage you speak of. There is an awakening taking place to the wonders of life, but there will still be many who won't believe without experiencing themselves this kind of mysteries. Please go on and dare to spread your truth.

Dear James, thank you for your sweet appreciation.

Dear Walter, thank you for your kind words, also on my poems on the Spiritual Journey forum.

I am very happy too, dear Ida, that you came back. Though we do love Pip sometimes life has other plans for us. I had the joy of a visit of my daughter with her precious trio of grandsons. I am looking forward to your inspired poems to appear here soon!

Thank you so much, dear Miscé, you warm my heart with your comment. It's good to know you peek in often and for you too I hope you will post soon. There are some who say it is impossible to write poetry in a foreign language. There may be some truth in this affirmation, but your compliments encourage me. Of course I check the words when I have a doubt, but it might not always be enough.

Dear DS, it's my favorite kind of poetry , thank you so much for reading and commenting so lovingly.

Thank you, dear Earl, you are always generous with your comments.

Dear Yann, thank you so much, your reply brings joy.

Love and inspiration to all of you.
Margherita

You said it so sweetly. I particularly enjoy the play between water and love… two substances we can’t live a life without.

A very touching love poem. Beautiful imagery and choice of words. And the picture is an extra bonus.

I don't say it often enought,
but only your heart itself
can exceed the warmth in your words.
