Sighs sail within aqua dewdrops And stream across my dreams... Delirious kisses touch my skin Like warmth from pale sunbeams... Silver petals of liquid light Fall gently in swooning eyes... No thought drifts between us here Beneath forever's sky... ....Breathe...just breathe... Whispered words do glitter gold Upon a pearled rainbow's wing... And with the swell of emotion's tide The harmony of love I sing... Enwreathed within your tender arms Teardrops of bliss do fly... And caught within this perfect moment Our souls together sigh... ....Breathe...and simply be... *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

I love this poem, my dear. I wouldn't dare attempt capture a moment as soul touching as this one for fear of missing my mark, but you've given the feelings life by your words. Needless to say you have my vote  Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

This is beautiful, Krista! Pity there is only one little box to check instead of say ten or so. You got my vote!! Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Alwye, this is beautiful!! Well Done!!! Bridgette "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

If there is one word that I can choose to express my state, it will be 'blessed' If there is one word that I can choose to express what I feel, it will be 'wonderful'. Regards, sudhir |

Krista, This is a wonderful poem. I'm glad you submitted it, cuz I would have yelled at you until you did. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

This is worth it just for "Breathe...just breathe." It's all the more powerful the way you structured it -- having longer verses and stanzas, then simply that before heading into another stanza. It forces you to pause, and to breathe yourself. Very cool. Mike |

dear alwye, i'm a little surprised that i haven't read this one of yours before, must date back before my first time here... i voted, but i dont think that's as much a show of adoration that this poem deserves... you're an excellent poet and i admire you greatly... it's nice to have such a fine poet as moderator in the teen forum... everyone needs someone to look up to sincerely, a sad tomato you're such a beautiful freak... i wish there were more just like you... |
