For your face I would bear the sting of desert sand, That face that holds the eyes that sway me in a summer swing to and fro. You always bring me back to who I know I am. For your face that holds the lips that speak the smile of me, I would free myself of emptiness allow the touch of kiss.... what more than this could fill my heart with joy. For your face that holds the lines my fingers wish to trace, that finds its place on canvas core of my soul, For knowing brow, I’d be your wife if I knew how to break the irons that hold my life. I would not fear the road ahead if to your face I knew it led. [This message has been edited by iliana (06-24-2005 02:14 AM).] |

That was honestly well written and romatic. It made a tear come from my eye when I read that. Truly remarkable poem. Keep it up. |

"I would not fear the road ahead if to your face I knew it led." Yes, that's what love does for us. Enjoyed your poem, Jo! |

"For your face that holds the lips that speak the smile of me" a lot of great lines in this... I hope it's non-fiction. I hope.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Jo~ Just lovely~ Funny how each of us find 'just the right lines' ... Mine - 'That face that holds the eyes that sway me in a summer swing to and fro.' Oh, yes ... I know the movement well~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

So you've seen this face as well...  A magnificent flow with moments to which I could relate as well... Haven't we all felt this before with certain visages? This passage was especially powerful:if I knew how to break the irons that hold my life. It even has a "parallel life"/SOMEWHERE IN TIME vibe to it as well... Very nice. -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml |
