Tenderly Marked Thoughts

 

Bewitching ripples of time pass as I write letters to you

To hang as something beautiful on your walls

Tenderly I mark them with wind that bares my soul

Leaving my presence to stir across your sky

As a shield from rains that fall

Enthralling words to hold forever within your breast

I leave for you as bits of my gentle peace

Lying open on your walls, the richness of my joy

Is left to fall as silver leaves of warmth

Cover cold that will not cease

These inventive fingers would surely leave this earth 

An epic journey they would move to make

To find the words to chase away those hellions

That exist here in this world of chaos

Your peaceful grace to take

When you pass by these letters I have written for you

They will caress you with the echo of my soul

Sweet peace you yearn for, is always here to see

In these thoughts I have tenderly marked

For your own heart to hold

Once again, very creative. I loved how you made simple letters seem more than just that. Words have a power all their own, no matter what anyone else says. You made that statement true by weaving your magic into it. Such lyrical imagery and writing, Neva. Again, I applaud you. Bravo!

Beautiful and creative within a vintage photography. You paint a masterpiece in words.

[Derek S.Keck]

I felt like i had a great awakening the other day and this sort of reminded me of it. Peace is only found through love and happiness is all that really matters. Its the final end goal. You write with such grace and beauty; you have a very elegant heart.

what light through yon window breaks..these words are like a shield.. words with life living in them.

To create such a beautiful poem around given words shows your skill as a writer, Neva; you've had to write within a discipline yet you've put so much feeling here. To me those letters on the wall represent love imprinted into the memory.'.. Sweet peace you yearn for, is always here to see ~ In these thoughts I have tenderly marked ~ For your own heart to hold.'

and off your poet loom spins a sensate fabric of gorgeous scenes and deeply impressive emotional patterns~

[Christie Moses]

this is pure magic. You weave poetry so well. Like a lyrical flow. I am left with a peace inside after reading this one.

[Poetic Beauty]

this tells a story of a person leaving behind letter for someone when the are gone. leaving piece of their soul so that they can still feel their presents echo in the room. This is inventive and done very well.
