You are asleep
your face conveys peace.

I linger for a long moment
in contemplation
of our lives entwined
and suddenly I feel
a soft tremor inside.

My heart whispers
of love sublime
that transcends
all earthly comprehension.

A love that is anchored
in the commitment
of our two souls.

You are asleep
Your face conveys peace.

I perceive a
soft tremor inside.

Soft tremor nothing, I could feel that all the way over here in Cal-e-for-nigh-ay and we're used to big quakers and such! I'm going to have to give your poem a 10.Wonderful on the richter scale!!

Very lovely Margy, just like you!

Your words touches the soul of us all . . . When words can reach out and caress the soul there is nothing to compare. This,then, is one of those times.

Margherita - That tremor is a sure fire sign that you are committed to someone who you feel is equally committed to you. That's a feeling of deep love that even let's you sleep peacefully and you've captured it so very well. Nice work M. Namyh

Thank you from my heart, dear Jerry, for letting these words touch your soul. I much enjoyed your beautiful comment.

Thank you, dear JL, for your kind comment and for picking out what you appreciated most.

Dear Martyjo, I am happy when you are around here you know, sweet lady. Thank you for loving my little offering in its wholeness. It's so gratifying when that soft tremor takes place ... still after a lifetime!

Dear Namyh, you are so right! that even lets you sleep peacefully I enjoyed your thoughtful comment very much. Thank you!

Dear Ebonygirl, love is not always as peaceful as I render it here, as none of us probably is able to keep the levels of perfection at the maximum heights ... partners are enriching to each other, insofar we drench the bond into the liquid  solution of LOVE that brings always healing and gratitude, even when there are differences to be accepted or wounds to be cured. You got me thinking, girl. Wishing you to be blessed by a true soulmate.

Dear Ruth, thank you dear one, for your loving comment. Yes I perceived the moment as perfectly illuminating. Great that my words conveyed that message.

Love,
Margherita

There's such a strength emitted by a sleeping soul...  especially if you happen to be the other half of that soul.  Beautifully written.

Dear Michael, thank you so much. Yes it seems that while we sleep somehow the soul shows on the surface, and the soul is the true core of our being. Only while we are awake we can wear masks ...

Dear Amaryllis, thank you, it is such a joy to find you in here with your loving comment!

Thank you, dear Al, it was an afternoon nap and that's why I stood for quite a long moment to look at him, long enough to be inspired by what I felt.

Yes, dear Nicole, I agree with your statement. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Love,
Margherita

I can not tell you how this spoke to me... I'd have to write too much to explain. Allow me to simply say, that I witnessed the soft tremors inside my mother's heart shine all over her face when holding my father's sleeping face in recent years. I am so thankful for love like that... and that you enjoy this kind of love, and share the joys with those around you!

This is the kind of poetry that mellows harsh thoughts...people should read it when their life and relationships are challenged.
When someone is sleeping, and their lover contemplates their feelings, that little tremor, that look of peacefullness in the observer, and observed, confirms the association is a lasting one.

Needs to be sent to Hallmark to replace some of the crap they put in their romantic cards.

Thank you, dear James, for enjoying this.

Thank you, dear Shelerella, for your most loving reply. I am glad you have that tender memory of your Mom holding your Dad's face when he was asleep. It is a very special feeling indeed.

Thank you, dear Owl, I am glad you appreciated it.

Dear Ford, thank you so much, I much enjoyed your comment. These moments are precious, as we become aware of the depth of the bond indeed.

Love,
Margherita
