Jim D. Posted June 18, 2016 Standing next to my love And she vanishes What wold it be like What would eyes see  A wisp of a breeze The leaf disappears So unique in itself Where can it be  Retiring at night After night prayer So awful to pass her bed Silence deafening, thoughts racing Where do I go from here  Moments count, never taken for granted Fill my eyes with your sweet presence Touch me while it is today Deepen the etching within me...of you   JD 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manitou Posted June 18, 2016 Your impermanence is etched within me like a work of art drawn by my own hand in the wet sand at the seashore  My eyes tear knowing that at any moment a wave may remove your image forever.  I am sorry, my love for my hurtful words, you belong in my bed, with me, not yours, away from me  Never, ever again will I take any part of you for granted.  Never, ever again will I disallow you your full expression.  You Are Me, this I know My own racing thoughts have been scattered to the wind by the beautiful silence between the words  Come, let us touch each other while we have Today, Let us revel in our Oneness before the next wave breaks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim D. Posted June 18, 2016 It was as though I continued my poem. Who were you talking about? How were you able to meld into my thought and intention? What did you see in my poem that you related to? Poetry for me is like looking at a painting. The meaning is in the eye of the beholder's heart and soul. How long did it take you to write your replay. Was this off the top of your head? It was if you are a poet.  JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
