Spirits of the night Here against your silhouette, The reed stems dance, Like the spirits of the night, Heralding your presence. Here you hear my heart, In a palpitating trance, Like ripples hastily depart, A trip to the Heavens. Here your eyes release, A lustrous blue glance, That brings my soul to peace, Resting in silence. Here two swans span wings, To head to their plans, Smiling I pack up my things, Knowing love blossoms. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |

Here you hear my heart, In a palpitating trance, Like ripples hastily depart, A trip to the Heavens. ================= this is stunning... absoltely graceful the emotions are as perfect as the imagery wonderful writing I will have to look for more of your work take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Thank you, lady lost, Bsc, Heather, Jamie, Angel and Janet for your kind comments.. I will submit this to the critical analysis poems in the mean time.. I just feel that the last stanza doesn't feel too right to me. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
