Because

Beneath a sea which keeps the names of all that whirl in grace
Far from the pages between your face and mine
Not because I came near to this place
Do I tremble at the beauty
Here I find


On the one hand the looks of lovers call to me in fragrant rains
Whispering from a melodious harp with no strings
On the other hand, I see you in everything
And I tremble at the beauty
Which you bring


Not because of lovely flowers that float gently on the winds
Falling as the sweetest sight to joyful tears
I tremble as I watch each petal descend
Filled with beauty so like you
Yet unaware

I just read about particle entanglement as it refers to quantum physics today. It taught me that everything in the universe is connected by an unknown force. If you do something to one photon that is entangled with another far across the universe they react in the exact same way at the exact same time. This poem says the same to me and easier to read.

I like the effort you put into this poem. It just seems forced to me, and it reads like a run on sentence. It's not bad but it isn't great either.

why would you take the time to go to something old of mine just to make a comment like this? I do believe you have issues Mr. Cain. It has been my experience here that when someone does what you have done they have a bone to pick. Go pick elsewhere......I have no time for your silly games.

thanks for sharing this sweet flow of your words.
