Whisper My Name

whisper        my        name
        only whisper     soft as
moonlight      over water
            sweeter
     than
                leaf shadows
  under      starlight
       gentle           like
dew      at its
                   becoming
and as secret as
                     the breath of
a sleeping wren
    if you only     whisper me
      whisper    love
I need               no more
              want no more
than this         soundless
                  token
I will         never     hear
       but      know now
     even now        within
              just as
the silent
                 words
unbidden          words
         are spoken

and as secret as
the breath of
a sleeping wren

I was captured by your beautiful images... and can't imagine a lovelier simile. *S*
But what's even more beautiful is the emotion... love shouted in softest whisper.

This is one of your best. *S*

===========================

this is just so lovely...
a wonderful poetic mix of imagery and presentation. This reads as gentle as falling leaf or a ripple on the water.
Well done poet sir.

every time I talk to you its over too soon
every day feels incomplete till you walk into the room
just say the words, I'll jump that moon.

The whisper is there for not one soul could resist your passion.

Oh you just keep on writing so nice!
Those three little words make all the difference in the world, except when they are spoken to another...and then they break your heart all over again. I don't know, but I don't fall that easy every time I turn around, and in retrospect I should consider myself lucky.

Que sera, sera~

Huggin' you James_A

James this is so very soft and beautiful, I don’t get in here as often as I should, but just occasionally someone whispers into my ear that there’s a particularly beautiful piece illuming the board. I’m glad I came and listened to the whisper of wonder that is this superb poem

Love and warm stuff
as always

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

creativity is always nice to see, beautiful as always...

i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective.
