Veiled

Though I have found you within the walls, you arise
Checked with beauty full of bends and curves
Alone, you hold bright spaces
With the softest footsteps
Of great reserve

Who would have guessed that I would have found you
Emblazoned in all your infinite mystic light
Surrounded by a warm white mist
How hard your essence
Would be to fight

There for a while all was veiled in this warm white mist
Which flew in anew each day on the wind
I slept with feathers round my bed
Ignoring the burning bush
I defend

Now I sigh at the sight of your infinite mystic light
As the wind blows the mist aside
Though I have found you within the walls, I arise
To seek that from which
I hide

Whats so captivating about everything you write is this deeper spiritual quality in every word. i can't explain it, but I always feel like im on the edge of some greater enlightenment when i read your work. You craft you words in amazing ways and i haven't met another writer who writes in a similar style. My best explaination for your poetry is that your some type of reincarnated Sufi poet.

your mystical words and images never fail. yet another excellent poem, neva :)

A soothing bliss of words. You seem to have discovered someone or something so intense that it fills and surrounds you: an awareness of preciousness unfound anywhere else.

Appears to be prelude to enlightenment. Do we hide from things we cannot see, until we see things we cannot hide?
Gorgeous in presentation; unique and far-reaching in scope.

I like the ending to this :) It is something when you can see someones aura I think it is called. That little energy signature that tells one so much about the other. I like the surprise of finding this person that you expressed like he was a special diamond sought for but rarely found. Great and deep wrtie.

I love this poem i picture it as about life and how we as people hide from it all the time although this is just my interpretation very nice read!

Beautifully done...This has all a wonderful
sort of yearning for what once was and could
be again...

Stunning and beautiful, I'm lost for words to describe how incredible this poem flows.
