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.

Tis said love wears different faces .. yours here has to be the most passionately beautiful. Tried to find the phrase that magics me, but there isn't one, tis all or nothing. Wonderful.

this is lovely in every way... I like the subtle rhyming of it.. the content is affectionate, passionate and sweet... and I loved this part in particular:

Following close behind
the heels of my heart
never leaving..........
or wandering.

Nice Work :))

Neva my love, as you well know I've been an avid reader of your work and a fan for about two years now. I have to say, that this piece above all others made me feel . . . . more. It's hard to explain, one tends to become immune to others words at times, you see a great piece amoung an ocean of great piece and you response is the same. It takes work like this one to slap you as a reader about the face and sit to realise that there are poets out there, such as you, that still have the great talent or gift is you will to wake the jaded reader such as myself - my darling, your a true talent, well done, good read. x
