Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2004-04-21 03:58 AM


Awake I lye,
as if laying
on paper,

Thoughts run high,
escaping my head
like a vapor,

Breathless I become,
tossing, turning, moving,
dying a slow death,

Alone, dark, empty,
tears become ice,
for you were my breath,

To inhale you,
my world of black and white,
becomes colorful,

Life becomes born,
love becomes free,
all becomes wonderful,

For now I am...restless

Waiting for
one breath of you,
to fill my emptiness....

Waiting....restless....


Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH

This is a decent piece, but can I ask you a question. Why did you mispell "lie" in your first line. You have, "Awake I lye".

Lye is an acid. It's stuff you use to make soap. I don't think this is an image that is appropriate to the poem. If you're using creative liscense, fine, change it to "ly" or "li", but "lye" in my opinion bring in an image that confuses the reader.

I believe the most important component of a poem is rhythm. Rhythm is the heartbeat of a poem. It is what makes poetry poetry.

Writing poetry helps me to get over times when I feel restless. It appears as tho' you like you write poetry as well at those times!

You portrayed that restless feeling so well, that I now have the urge to write some poetry! lol

Remember, "And this too shall pass"!

Warm hugs,

I loved this, completely beautiful. I especially enjoyed this stanza:

quote:

To inhale you,
my world of black and white,
becomes colorful,



Esquisite imagery
