Love Unconfined Drowning in a living sea of waking dreams. I fight off the iniquities that fate so deems. I go to her with my love unconfined and true. Her beauty shimmers like translucent dew. I yearn so to be tangled in her silken hair. To be fettered to her eyes, sparkling there. To spend eterne captive in my loves embrace, But circumstance and distance denies us this place. Forlorn, dejected, despirited, I bide this time of ordeal, Anguishing over the hope of ever having my loves touch to heal. Steve B |

"I yearn so to be tangled in her silken hair." Steve, this line, in particular, moved me. The yearning here is quite clear. You've chosen your title well for this piece, I believe. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Very strong, yearning poem here. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
