Tender Certain

In the mirror of today
a thin veil whispers separation
for I saw her in my eyes
her curve of hip turned inspiration
‘til I was bloused and breasted light
with her younger woman's delight

From the corner of my glowing
behind the flowing silk of day
she turned like sunshine in my haze
no need for words just wave of knowing
she knew my heartbeat felt her gaze

Though this was only sway of curtain
it laced my fabric   tender certain

(smiles) Oh Martie, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I too am amazed how the simplest most slight sights can feel like something so very valuable! (ksis on cheek) This is a very beautiful feeling, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I believe that you just got chosen the "Bride" of the day.  Pretty special honor that this day would give to you, but then again knowing your heart and how you always rejoice in the beauty that surrounds you everyday, I can understand why you were captured by that breeze.  Wonderful verse and I can just see the image of you in the reflections.  Loved it and of course your beautiful heart.  Big hugs.

=============================

YEPPERS the whole poem....wasnt no way I was gonna seperate any of those lines from one another...they were the perfect poetic marriage of rhyme and turn of phrase...
this was sheer delight read aloud..and as always your personification and imagery is as impressive as the view thru your eyes.
I love this poem!! and the poet
