Listening to every heart

Knowing Thou This Woman

Thou sayest thou cares to know this woman?
That it is most awkward to know her well?
Hear me, my friend, come hither and see
For it is in this crystalline tear that fell.

See thou this tear? This drop of hope and faith?
This love that has spilled out from within
This bit of tenderness that just escaped
This, a precious release of soul therein

Now wipe thy baffled look from thy face
Harbor not questions in her cosmic embrace
Take her offerings wrapped in golden sheen
And believe in all of her feather-light dreams

Thou shouldst ne'er question her resolute steel
That inner fiery core that only she may feel
That softest part therein that believes in you
And would raise thee up, through and through

Thou sayest thou wants to know this woman
What art thou missing in this, her touch?
Cannot you feel the holy awesome of her?
Thou couldst, if not on thy guard so much...

And this is the reason of the why, dear friend
That she, her crystalline tear on thee, would spend
For thou, thou wouldst question her very heart
While crystalline tears for thy soul she imparts...





Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Oh, Karilea~
This is just exquisite.
What a joy to read.
You shed the crystalline tear so gently.
Pure joy.

BEAUTIFUL must be the mountains whence ye come,
And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams wherefrom
Ye learn your song.
=======================
Written with salty tears burning my eyes. You must shine more the brighter and burn away the clouds from your horizon.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I loveth thine writing
And thou poem so fine
I loveth the way
Thou maketh it rhyme
That I might write
Such a piece in my time
Would maketh mine heart
Beat in time with thine
That I might hear
the song thee hear
That I might someday be
The poet I see in thee...

can you tell I liked it???
