When Night Stands on the Waters

Exhale your emotions

onto all of our memories

waxing as poetic candles,

rub your feelings all over me.

While vague unexpected hours

root deeply

and mingle inside all they see.

I can hear our laughter lingering

when night stands on the waters

of our love,

never growing tired or flickering.

Following close behind

the heels of my heart

never leaving..........

or wandering.

We have been given a life

that comes after midnight,

guiding us,

letting no poison command our faith.

I smile,

in knowing our love

will grow stronger,

as each day passes away.

One is taken into the heart and mind of the narrator and kept there by use of visual images that 'talk' to the reader. Talk is not the correct expression, probably better to say the poem whispers to us as it takes to a memory and embellishes it.

Lovely, Neva. I haven't seen a new work from you in a while (probably due to my absence). A wonderful read, as is your usual of course.

thank you, good to see you too.

Beautiful poem as always Neva. I know I have been gone for a long time but I have been trying to get some things together on my side. Like always your poems capture me. "We have been given a life
that comes after midnight," that was my favorite line in the poem. You never disappoint and I am always glad to read your work. Well done

Simply beautiful and mesmerizing sweet Neva. This poem reaches out and touches my heart in a soft and caressing way. Love does gives of life, does it not and without it breath is so very hard to find. Lovely.
