                         From deep within her soft eyes
                             and in her sultry laugh
                          come tender hearted feelings
                         where blue-eyed moments last.
                          By graceful taste and sharing
                         through strife or peace and hope
                         there lies my sweet enchantress
                              The lady of my soul.

                          Her rare and mystic mindset
                            a lighthouse for the truth
                           finds passion over matrons
                           on constant winds of youth.
                          With words of golden wisdom
                             Inwoven in her speech
                          with glamour and true vision
                           she speaks of faith in leaps.

                         Her look is deep with dreaming
                           of a love that cancels tears.
                         Her eyes are filled with wonder
                             and unpermitted fears.
                        For she's come down from heaven
                           and all the lives she passed
                             are vehicles of purpose
                           that wait to bring her back.

                         And when her needed tableaux
                           protects her special doves
                          with teeming flair and purpose
                            she triumphs in her love.
                           In calm she waits out worry
                          when time for changing grows
                           and there's no other mortal
                           more patient with her own.

                          Deep in the heart of my soul
                           lies the jewell of her worth.
                          where destiny has brought her
                            to deal with love or hurt.
                           In bold and sudden fashion
                             she rises from the fold
                           to state her love with spirit
                              the lady of my soul.

                          She knows the dry eyes hiding
                            the feelings in this man.
                           The sweetness of her merit
                            within my pulse expands.
                           Her armor or her softness
                           both stir my mind like fire
                           no quick reluctant purpose
                            can quell my deep desire.

                           With cheer and expectation
                           and time for all things born
                          she heartens the disheartened
                            and comforts the forlorn.
                           She's gentle and all-seeing
                             and mirrors her repose
                           with love for curing sadness
                              the lady of my soul.

                         Her words are wonderous music
                          that warm like melting spring.
                         And her song is like the twilight
                            the end of day can bring.
                          Her senusous naked valleys
                          where sensation turns me on
                            are places where I take
                            the finest journey home.

                          And year by year she's gifted
                         with the will to share her source
                           Her love of future scanning
                             the path of evermore.
                         And back from all life's setbacks
                          she springs to keep me whole
                           with sorceries of gladness
                              the lady of my soul.

Thank you Noah and Marsha you're both so very kind!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

I smiled at Nancy's reaction to this one...recalling the first time I read this, it took my breath away, and has always been high on my list of faves by you...(hard to pick, long list)
its a classic piece of ethome poetry and showcases your many gifts. Yes...exquisite is a perfect word to describe this romantic masterpiece of rhyme and harmony.
Outstanding writing E-babes...as always.

and ya know I have to leave ya this...

Crazy Love

Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

~VAN THE MAN~  

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

~Sarah McLachlan~
