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.

What a wonderful poem... obviously written with a special love in mind...I'm green with envy. Oh, I admire the poem, your talents and skill with words but I'm much more envious of the feeling that brought these words from your heart and pen. Excellent writing and I wish you all the love and happiness so deserved by such a wonderful and gracious lady.

The hours we could spend dissecting your work in my literature class, there's so much to say. So much passion goes into your work, it's incredible. The imagery, the emotion, it's all so powerful. I fall in love with your words every time I read them.
