The Lady Of My Soul |

Within her velvet heartbeat inside her sultry laugh are 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 Is lightning for the truth with passion over matrons she rides the winds of youth. With golden words of 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 has grown with 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 where time and students roam and there's no other mortal more spacious in her own. Deep in the heart of manhood lies the jewell of her worth. where destiny may bring her to deal with pain and hurt. In bold and sudden fashion she rises from the fold to spread 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. The armour of her softness runs through 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 blindness the lady of my soul. Her words are wonderous music like the warmth of melting spring. And her touch is like the twilight the end of day can bring. Her senusous naked valleys where sensation turns to close are places where the waiting is worth the journey home. And year by year she's gifted with the will to search for more Her love for future scanning the path of evermore. And up from all the setbacks she springs to keep me whole with sorceries of gladness the lady of my soul. The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

ETHome~ I've read this three exhilarating times. Mesmerized by the rhythm - cradled tenderly by the heart of it. A lovely piece, indeed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

A most remarkable level of inspiration was achieved here. ONE of your best...but Id have a real hard time picking...(except for one)  take a oncore bow on this one my sweet poet of melody and lyric... you earned it jm ************* Crazy Love Van Morrison I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles And the heavens open every time she smiles And when I come to her that's where I belong Yet I'm running to her like a river's song Chorus: She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down And when I come to her when the sun goes down Take away my trouble, take away my grief Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief Chorus: 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 Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |

PT dear heart, is this truly utterly wonderful or am I about to be given a post in the Cabinate. (Somehow I can't see that happening, not unless Tony has suddenly found a place for a Health Minister that knows what it's like on the sharp end,) Anyway this is truly outstandingly well crafted in every single word. Pure magic dear heart, utterly fabulous. A keeper for sure, so off to my library. I can see why you like this it is a fabulous piece of writing. Take care as always love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

E- no words that i could say here would do this poem justice. but let me say this...this writing is just one of the most beautiful, heartfelt, magical pieces i do believe i've ever had the pleasure of reading. the imagery, word choice, format, rhyming are not only in perfect sync...but it made this girl sigh with happiness....truly a very beautiful write!! take care amy p.s. i agree both u and Janet should take a bow...both very talented poet and poetress u are "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart & can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |
