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.

i like the entire poem...but "rub your feelings all over me"
i can't get past that line...

i just want to keep going back to it...that is like a one line poem all by itself.


so much imagery inferred in six words. there is something about nighttime, after midnight..the bewitching hour..and that hour when passion rises to meet the dawn sooner or later.

thank you so much Erin :)

You always make my eyes tear with your words, I feel the emotion in your poetry and alow it to carry me with the flow of your words. It is truly a gift you have to pull your readers in and to make them think. You carefully play the heart strings like a fine violin putting to shame all the great composers. You are truly gifted.
