Plunging into an eternal sea Oblivion as old as the comrades of bones Grey-haired and wise Eye to eye, ear to ear…I love you most I know your heart as streams flow flowers Even better, your teardrops and where they go Hear not my frustrated words…listen only to good Discern my foolish childlike impatience Allow if you will…mortal feelings We were together before, hopelessly in love Memories tattooed in the moon Where beauty’s fire shall honor a poet’s heart I only wish you wouldn’t take things so personal We knew Charms that no one feels, air no one knows Your scent lingers upon a canopy of pillows Where you walked before There are no other things…but love It is man kinds covenant with each other You are to me, my amorous soul But…we are so from two different worlds We cannot be…I am merely your curtain call The one with which the cold truth applauds Freezing on my skin, going Deep within the chamber of my heart You are the deep tones of my flesh The hush on silent starry nights The angel which sings through each light The unusual enchantment of adventure True love in all it’s agony The fear in the unknown All stones which cut my soul The laughter that moves me Storms wailing mercilessly Horizon’s on the sea A bird with a homeless spirit The joy in a child’s laugh The excitement in a brand new morning The enchantment in each rose The white heart of perfume Deep azure prose Pools of passion Dear Heart…let us go Let us forgive Let us pray to God our mortal flesh Knows not the pain of long distress We are lucky to be blessed With mercy and a faithful roof over our heads Dearest….I wish you the love of a woman’s heart With eyes that dance in golden steel As long sea grass floats sensible A maiden fair to win your heart |

LeeJ., This is one of the most beautiful poems I have read. It flows so gently off the tongue with vivid imagery and tender thoughts. This is my favorite of yours to date. You keep getting better and better! Thank you for this beauty. misc'e |

Beautiful is an understatement most definately...I feel a bit choked up... If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

LeeJ To forgive and love in the same breath is a great gift...and your gift goes beyond that, into words with the tremendous power of sincerity. Wonderful writing! |
