When the winds whisper by Talking to me subtlely All the truth tickling my nose Keeping me at a distance With each shudder of noise Teasing my intuitions I always lean in to hear Hoping they will tell the tale Of all that my life seems to be I walk leisurely waiting for it To softly land against my mind The edges of my lips curl up At every thought of you Wishing, hoping, dreaming For a handle on your manner Of all that you are A genius beyond the day Your personality I sense Presence of familar tricks Many dimensions you travel Just waiting for your time I know you touch my very soul At every instance of awakening So much of you is a major part of me Your restlessness intrigues my serenity When sleepiness absorbs your being Is at a time I know you most Tingling across the avenues of wonder Gently ever so tenderly swaying with angels Somthing of you stays just outside my horizon Yet I sense a depth I long to capture A pain I grow to share with my days Bewilderment at fear in what you trust the most Even at the closeness of your grace A lifelong calling of the heart I hold Mirrors at the eternality of all we claim During the unfolding of these untimely years Holds scars of this tiny journey of our life Mixing up and twisting our own personal truth A truth of a love concealed by broken edges Feeling you beckoning at my nearness Shielding yourself behind a mask Afraid of the familiar calling Please let go and come to me In full blessing of the trees Natures purity will unfold before the morning Streams of your depth in blue laced by black Honestly holding me intently grasping my essence Only at the instance of when all calms and lingers Will I be able to stop and hold you forever "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

...When the winds whisper by Talking to me subtlely ...Hoping they will tell the tale Of all that my life seems to be ...Of all that you are A genius beyond the day ...So much of you is a major part of me Your restlessness intrigues my serenity ...Yet I sense a depth I long to capture A pain I grow to share with my days ...A lifelong calling of the heart I hold Mirrors at the eternality of all we claim ...During the unfolding of these untimely years Holds scars of this tiny journey of our life ...Please let go and come to me In full blessing of the trees ~*~ Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful lines... |

During the unfolding of these untimely years Holds scars of this tiny journey of our life Mixing up and twisting our own personal truth A truth of a love concealed by broken edges Feeling you beckoning at my nearness Shielding yourself behind a mask Afraid of the familiar calling Please let go and come to me In full blessing of the trees Natures purity will unfold before the morning Streams of your depth in blue laced by black Honestly holding me intently grasping my essence Only at the instance of when all calms and lingers Will I be able to stop and hold you forever ================================== what a wonderful surreal dreamscape you have painted here..such lovely expressions. Good to read you again Bleu ... been a long time. One of the treats of the book is that it brings many of our finest poets back to the blue pages. " ... And think not, that you can direct the course of love ... |

Bridgette, I don't think I've seen you here since I've been at Passions, but it sounds like you've been missed. By the way, I know exactly what you mean about Passions being like potatoe chips....this place is very habit forming...but oh, my, it is such a good habit. I hope that you will be back more often. This is a very good love poem. With me being one of the hopeless romantics around here, you know I love it. I certainly think that a lot of love poems should be in the book....LOL Hugs from Ethel....garysgirl |

The intensity of your longing and your words here are most captivating as it seems to me your longing is for something, an essence of sorts, that is almost God like and yet I was a bit set back at the point when you write that this near deity is somehow shielding itself behind a mask. I was kind of in a euphoria and then this blow... but a wonderful ending when the two, your essence and the essence of the other, come together in an eternal unity. Justbleu, your writing is just awe inspiring. I don't think I've read your poetry before, but I am so glad that I had the opportunity. A definite vote from me. -Bob |

I was absolutely drawn into this poem by the second line, and all I can say is I am off to the archives to read more of your work, it blew me away! You sure have my vote and stick around a while won't you, what a treat this was. |

I read this three times and got something new out of it with each read. I love it when a poem does that for me. |
