~Torch Not My Heart~

Whispers...
with a silver tounge you pierce my heart
with words of love you touch
silken phrases slide as honey on lips

Words drip as raindrops on petals caress
a candle burns
a shared flame
melting hearts as molten gold
fused as one, two souls seethe
no voice to take this in my hands


Just torch not my heart

A wonderful expression of togetherness. Well done.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

I guess the secret is knowing when the words are true or not.

BloomingRose~
Oh !  This is lovely.

I was instantly reminded of the era of musical perfection
of the 'torch singers' of their day.

Those silken voices that sang out in the blues of the night
could capture the 'flame in each and every note.

Oh, now you've sent me on a search.
Thank you.

Daniel~ Thank you much.  

Mark~ Thanks for the nice reply.

JM~ True, words in a poem are sometimes from things we may hear from a song, or other things that inspire the imagination. They are fun just the same, wherever they come from.
Thanks

Tracie~ Thanks  

Marge~ You hit the nail on the head. This one was inspired by a song. I listen to music when I write so sometimes it happens like that.
Thanks.

You have managed to speak the whole tale in just a few short verses... great job  

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
