Where ever eyes arrive in beauty
There to, are faces of love
White nights and jasmine gaze
Preparing a voyage through poetics
Painting rose colored canvases uncombed
Taking off in a new direction
Loosing dry wrinkles of skin
That was once cracked and misshapen
We don’t dare appraise life
Falling to our knees in prayer
Vitality now names the community
Day dreaming sprigs of agreement
Absurd encroachment of the sea…white foamy baby’s breath
Growing lengthy memories and naive white satin years
Burning passion for life cultivating youthful enchantment
You grin by candlelight
And I wonder what blanket befalls us
Reaching out to my lover, sending rays of the moon
Without knowing why, something’s coming out of the world
With a morning after, and another after that
Voices smell the slightest breeze and whims of soft tissue
Like high tides lapping tenderly against the sands
Soft droplets of warm twilight, carries a poignant stare
All for us and our hungry tongues
Wrapping us in an immense sense
We emerge, throwing our arms around this scenery
Drowning in the bread of interwoven warm palms
Swarming to a part of speech only lovers understand
Deity predicts this noon of fire and the existence of that hand
Cupping our faces, whispering in our ears
Of a common voice…like a translated author
Bringing back to us, parts of speech
We look through rich windows….together

Lee~
While I slowly savor the entirety of your word-thoughts ... something ALWAYS grabs my attention and won't let go ... this time -

'Preparing a voyage through poetics
Painting rose colored canvases uncombed'


- this thought encircles me with a myriad of questions, seeking answers to carry me forward in the quest~

Thank you for being a poetess~

From the title which drew me in to the ending I am in awe. The imagery, feelings, words to ponder upon and decipher is mesmerizing. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
