Exuberance - panel on glass by Howard Mendelson


*
You are my Zen bliss
and my sunshine world,
my dawn and my dusk
and all the time in between
when we hold each other tight
to dance among the stars
and to snuggle by candlelight.

You are my eyes' favourite sight
they know you by heart
and recall you in dreams
when silken slumber builds
fleeting walls of separation.

You are my weakness
and you are my strength
with you I am exuberant
I feel the world is ours
whether we stroll across flower fields
or invent new ways to be creative.

You are my words and my silence
I tap into the well of You
And I rise into every new day
with freshly coloured wings
and a heart overflowing with love,
a love emitting the unique scent
of the blended essence
of you and of me.

“You are my Zen bliss
You are my eyes' favourite sight
You are my weakness
You are my words and my silence”

Very nice Margherita.  The first line of each stanza is beautiful.  Speaks to the heart.

JL

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

"You are my weakness / and you are my strength"

Can't hardly say it any better than those two simple, but powerful lines, Margherita.

Enjoyed this poem of love very much.

Thank you, dear JL, for your kind comment and for the lovely "compression" of the poem into its essence.

Dear Jerry, thank you, we always try to express the "everything factor" in love and the words you choose to highlight are indeed significant to that purpose. Glad you enjoyed it.

Margy you have always been a wonderful writer but your poetry lately is really dialed in... you are ascending right now, don't stop to look around, just keep climbing up on top of your lifetime of work... I can almost see that mountain from here.

Amazing picture as well!

Dear Lori, what a compliment! Thank you so much for your kind and generous words.

Dear Richy, I am ascending? hmmmm .... feels good, I always love to be in the clouds! Thank you, dear romantic Poet, for your very flattering comment.

Love,
Margherita
