Collaboration of Two Hearts

A collaboration by Mark and Neva Flores-Cbangefulstorm

I paint pictures in my mind with your smile and your voice,
Always hungering and wondering what you paint in yours.
I have a feeling that your thoughts beckon my own, 
turn my resolve into a burning  liquid even the sun has to adore.

When the Sun has gone, and thoughts turn to sleep,
this man dreams in colors drowning me in the sea of your woman's heart.
Still, here I am crying out in a voice full of fight afraid to look into your eyes
as my heart could be destroyed, my world torn apart.

I lay still trying to obey the face of time, to let go soothing trickles of reassurance
in shimmering beams given from the Moon.
While we both use words when our eyes are not closed, mine are complex
and yours easy to hold..dropped from different hearts, yet in tune.

It is enough, holding this dream for now. With eyes, hands, and hearts unfurling,
slowly opening through barriers erected from the destruction past.
I believe in these two hearts that are beating as they write about love differently.
Today I will take down those barriers, just don't enter too fast.

What an incredible collaboration. It's like a slowly burning fire, gradually turning from sadness to happiness. Whether your combined words stem from reality or not, there's a distinct understanding here, your words echo each other, there's little or no variation of tone; seems the outcome is almost proved .. just a few steps to go.

This is a beautiful and sensual collaboration. How wonderful to write with your partner and experience exploration at another level about what is an innate driven desire. Fantastic. 'just don't enter to fast' was so sensual!

I have to laugh, because there is someone I read the other day on here that "hates" collabs. I love doing and reading them (when done right). This is well done, I can see this one as a duet ballad:)

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

LOL, it was probably me. I am terribly frightened of them but figured what the heck. Mark was very easy to write with. Thank you

[The Analog Kid]

YW...no it was just a cantankerous old man...LOL! Kudos also to Mark!

[Dr. Wood ?]

Now COME ON...Collaboration is cheating isn't it?...Only joking, This is another great song in the making , surely...What a great last line.........I can hear it

I have always shied away from collab as I am quite the loner, this was Mark's first. It was a lot of fun Thank you so much for your review ::)
