some where deep in the shadows

0 posted 2003-05-12 10:52 PM



thoughts...
of a most mysterious girl
she's stolen away the shadows
and asked are you breathing?
when unresponsive,
she blew the life of wind
and the wind of life right into my heart
let me see you,
was all she asked for..
stepping from the shadows,
i was most privellaged to see her beautiful face
I breath now.. was all i could muster
and now i live,
every moment is happier than the last
the wind flows to me and from me


critiques are wanted and encouraged

Poem's good as it stands, and could be a home run....

thoughts...
of a most mysterious girl

If you think about it, you might decide these two lines aren't needed at all....they set the stage, but the next line starts the flow of imagery, and it's so strong it needs no setting -- or stage.

she's stolen away the shadows
and asked are you breathing?

when unresponsive,

This line needs to be more obviously about you, so the reader can't mistake the reference as being to her.

she blew the life of wind
and the wind of life right into my heart

Chop "right" right out of there -- it's extra and the line flows better without it.
Also, need a sense break after this line, so it doesn't try to join with the next.

let me see you,
was all she asked for..

"all she asked" is what I'd say (and I wish I had...this is good)

stepping from the shadows,
i was most privellaged to see her beautiful face

You don't have to say she's beautiful or that seeing her is a privilege, when the next line says it so powerfully without coming out and stating it... I'd consider dropping both words.

I breath now.. was all i could muster
and now i live,
every moment is happier than the last
the wind flows to me and from me

To me and from me... It just doesn't get any better than this simple image. Excellent work.

Small but large item -- all to many people here are allergic to spell checkers...never be one of them! You're too good to have anyone sent away by a misspelling.

I'll look for more of your stuff, for sure. You have a lot of talent and I prize that.

The wonder of the wind,
And of our search for companionship,
For love.
And the mind sees the wind,
Winding around, and binding.
Thought provoking.
