Warmth Is A Place I Will Assume

By the time, my heart has weighed what you have asked me
I will have kneeled upon the blades of life that bloom
To join what I have missed in all of my wanting
While your eyes watch my every move
Warmth is a place I will assume

All is plain in these lands I enter where I stand tall and strong
Where you are only a dream that cries itself to sleep
I can hear you lose your way, shiver in the cold
Yet, through all those tears left to spare
No memories will I ever keep

While you slumber, I write this poem and my heart becomes
One which stands in fame with no shame or fear
Of dancing outside that which you ask me
Even when the ground I walk upon
Fills my shoes with tears

By the time, my heart has weighed what you have asked me
My words will have already written home triumphantly
Pure love will ring out in all the lands you enter
While your eyes watch my every move
Inside the memories you see

Dreams again, they have much to answer for; they're too often to be bathed in, so often to be run from. Life watched -disregarded, life watched - applauded; there's a time when decisions need to be made.
' .. While your eyes watch my every move ~ Inside the memories you see .. ' those two lines say almost more than they should - but, must.

A superlatively crafted poem, Neva .. even more, its meaning stays in the mind ..

The agonizing slow movement of time past, sad memories slowly fading mixed with present jubilation for personal growth...is what I hear from you. This is such a seamless progression that it almost lulls because of the beautiful melody you sing. Warmth is the best place to assume, but the song is haunting. - Wonderful, Neva.

releasing those thoughts away from one's own memory...this is good Neva...you have become more because you know thyself...from deep within we find strength and then we grow...each poetic thought of yours shines more and more...

"By the time, my heart has weighed what you have asked me
My words will have already written home triumphantly" I love it Neva xx

Yes I agree with the spirit of the poem,"Warmth is a place I will assume"

[Seshat Nidaba]

The emotional range of this piece is disarming! Well done !

[Ladysue]

oh Neva, the title alone told me this was going to be another exceptional read...this was so moving though sad. your writing captivates the reader and the melody always shines...

[Hayley]

Alright. I read this three times slowly, and I can tell that this was well thought out. I really like how the whole poem comes together at the end.
Haha I like your note.. What I love most is the mystery of the possible meanings to an outsider just reading this. I could analyze this over and over and come up with a different thing each time. All I can say is this was wonderfully written and is going into my favorites so I can come back to it anytime I want :)

Lovely Neva. Beautiful flow of lovely images.

Neva, this one is so warm, so triumphant, and oh so balanced. I enjoyed this read so much and the words spun so valiantly, "By the time, my heart has weighed what you have asked me My words will have already written home triumphantly" such well placed words which speak to far more than is in black and white. You always manage to move my heart and exercise my insight and this one has me working out my insight so firecly I am out of breath.
Lovely!

Saddening but also as if I were being told a story. The metaphoric part of this poem is also very captivating. I enjoyed reading this a lot. Great write :)
