Beyond What is Mentioned

You are there beyond what is mentioned when I rise from my chair
And predicting the future seems to always end in futility
I could walk with you through all these words that are foreign
But would I find I was burning in unutterable possibilities

Anticipation you cannot see in my stride when I move vaguely along
Plainly oblivious to all the grass growing under my feet
You see me breathing slowly and wonder how soon I will fly
Into phrases more pleasing than tasting honey is sweet

A temporary distance runs in a curve beyond what is mentioned
Your eyes seize the fire from half-truths you can hear
Present moment is held in nameless rooms hid in the dark
Where you try to read notes I penned for you there

I move vaguely along to plant footsteps that lead to my heart
Creating a path to free your own from this distance
I am not oblivious to the grasses growing under my feet
When I rise from my chair, I am anticipating a change
In our existence

creative perfection... and I really mean it when i say that some sentences took my breath away... "I was burning in unutterable possibilities", " You see me breathing slowly and wonder how soon I will fly"... and the last stanza melted my heart away.
beautiful poem and carefully written... I adore the story before all.

This poem made me feel as if the walls were closing in on me. I don't know if it was a straight jacket or handcuffs and shackles on me, but I felt as if I was struggling to get free. I wanted to take a leap of faith and just fall in to love, but something was holding me back...even though it seemed completely possible.

A most artistic and creative piece Neva. I've missed the opportunities to enjoy your writings for too long. You never fail to captivate and enthrall your audience with words.

evocatively penned with an honest seduction, or is it? :) great imagery and a good, pleasant write

[VelvetRosetta]

I agree with Rene Velez, you seem to have a trademark, your writings are always art in ink, always enjoy your writings Neva...
I could walk with you through all these words that are foreign
But would I find I was burning in unutterable possibilities
