Your smile crushes the very essence of me
I am expired in knowledge yet reborn with love

your eyes

once captured,

reveal amber glow of twin volcano's fire
joining souls in one momentous passing

how your quiet strength inspires these tears
tears gently kissed with whispered glance

"on an island,
on an island alone with you..."

curtains fall,

and there in your hands,

my beating heart...

Thank you Captain, although these words are nothing compared to your works and many other poets here.

Your comments are truly appreciated.

I don't think you can compare one poet to another or the way they express themselves and say... "not as good"
you can say it is different, but people write from their hearts and from where they are.. so you can say the words are not the same and the delivery is not the same..but it makes it neither better or worse...
just different

You're right, Captain. Perhaps I should have expressed myself better. I actually didn't mean that other poets are better than others. It's just that I sometimes find fault with my own writings.

LOL
  Not scolding.... or certainly not my intent... simply didn't want you running your own words or talent down...
  you don't write like me, and I wouldn't expect you or anyone to, since you haven't had my experiences, you've had your own equally rich ones to draw from. You and everyone has their own voice as well... how they say things, so for you to say what you said above...isn't fair to you..

you write well... so don't sell yourself short...

Those first two lines are very captivating. Peace.

Yes, Novus_Os, an astute observation on Hawaii in volcanic eruption, as seen by night. As the late vulcanologist Katya Kraft called the glowing lava, "It is the blood of the earth!"

Sunkissed, there are exceptionally beautiful lines and images here, and this work bespeaks of love of an ideal, perhaps through archetypal recognition, whether auto-envisioned or seen in another person.

The very last line is to this reader a bit reminiscent of pre-Colombian human sacrifice ritual. Whether that was intended or not I cannot tell---and please do not give such a secret away here!

The upshot is that this is skilled writing from a very well-talented writer. Cpat is right about not low-rating yourself.
