Avid desire

*
In the heat of afternoon
something blazes deep inside
followed by a vast inner tremor.
Soft invisible wings
cling to my heartbeats,
emotions expand
into ripples of alertness.

My very essence is on fire
flames whisper
of universal truths
to be captured in flight
right in that moment
out of space and time
by my boundless consciousness.

Every cell seems to respond
to the irresistible call
of passionate divine tunes
asking to be perceived
to be hummed
to be absorbed
to be shared.

I become the vessel
filling with the river
of sacred revelations.
You are me, I am you,
look into the mirror
and greet your soul
let it dance in your eyes,
reflect All there is,
dress your gaze
with the incomparable
fullness of pure beauty.

Be the crystal clear pond
reverberating star sighs.
Be the light, invite the shadows
to dance within the circle
of life’s manifestation
where all connections
are tied in Love.

Be ME, be LOVE!

Feel the tremor inside
follow your avid desire
to transcend all materiality,
discover unity.

Be ME, be LOVE!

Dear Margherita-This is really lovely.  I can't pick a favorite line because there are too many to pick from.  Great poem, dear lady!

Love-Faith

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Great poetry!

"Soft invisible wings
cling to my heartbeats,
emotions expand
into ripples of alertness."

Avid desire for sure.

Margherita,

Before I open your poems, I know that they will fill me with beauty and love.  It's a no-brainer.  You are beauty and love ~ and this poem is one more gift that you have shared with us.

Love,

You took the reader on a sensuous-time-line quest, and one that was even more profound the second time I read it. Profound is the word.

Dear D., I try to put that passion into words and to share it. Thank you so much for enjoying this and telling me so.

Thank you, dear Faith, for your very kind and warm comment and for loving it in its wholeness.

Dear Marcia, again I feel humbled by your remark. The gift is reciprocal, dear Poetess.
Thank you!

Thank you, dear JL, for your generous comment. I enjoy your reviews.

Dear Diana, you see me with your own love-eyes, dear friend. In our essence we are all equally loving, but we do not always trust the inner whispers that actually try to get this message through all the time. Thank you so much and ... I think the same of you.

I love what you say, dear Eg, if you are inspired then you become the gift. Thank you so much.

Dear Alison, thank you from my heart for your loving comment. I always read (besides your fantastic poetry!) your comments, also on other poets' offerings, because you put the heart into them, then you add, according to the case, compassion, wit, wisdom etc., that is always so enriching.

Dear Ruth, you too, always say such nice things, which fill my heart with joy. Thank you dearly!

Dear James, it's always a pleasure to have you reading and commenting! Thank you so much.

Dear Luke, thank you for telling me you enjoyed the read and for feeling the core of it.

"sensuous-time-line quest", I love that definition, dear Jerry! Thank you so much for your most kind comment.

Ida dear, it is always such a joy to find you on one of my threads with your generous, loving reviews. Thank you!

Thank you so much, dear Yann, for reading and commenting so kindly. It feels good when you feel too ...

Love and joy to all.
Margherita
