Listening to every heart

The Mirror of Your Eyes

‘Tis right for poet or artist’s eye
That takes up what love belies
What we discern in all reality
Is but conceived by your fantasy

Do see then with heart’s spirit blithe
Those words shared as hear it light
Sung of souls met, this song sublime
Gives one cause to come in time

Would with thee I inhabit such delight
If I eyed thee so in candle’s light
To mirror me your pleasure just
That thee see reflected trust

Now Sire, seek these eyes of green
Thy trust I have, this, thy love’s dream
This one heart holds thy passion’s flame
All of which abides, in reality’s name

O do please share with me twinklings
Of thy spirits that roam in your dreams

Sunshine,

Thank Thee for this, Thy sweet poetry.
I really loved it.  
Sounds like my own Muse
waving from your plain.

(smiles) Oh Karilea, this is soooooo enchanting, I love it when you write like this! It makes the reader feel like they're drifting in the world of your Muse. (kiss on cheek) This is a true keeper, sweet friend, the mirror of your eyes always reflects the pleasure of the written word! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sunshine - Beautifully done and very intriguing.  It reads as if love is whimsical and in reality can't truly exist, but we all hope our dreams of love will someday become real.  I don't know why, but I am on an interpretation kick today, and usually I am wrong.  Either way, I liked.

A very pretty poem, Karilea,
sensuous in its own magical way.

"Would with thee I inhabit such delight
If I eyed thee so in candle’s light
To mirror me your pleasure just
That thee see reflected trust"

Great job!
