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.

Magically Neva, you have captured the essence of my darling Wife!

[An owl on the moon]

Such depth of life.. of experience is breathed out here... confessions and recollections it seems.. Each line is simply filled with imagery that captures heart and soul.

Another heart-felt poem, I felt like this woman was stuck in her chair, afraid to step on the grass, afraid of what awaits her? Her lover is blind to her words, blind to the fact she still cares despite the feelings of being distant?

Grass growing takes a long time my friend. Having a love that is far away is very difficult to manage as the heart is full of wanting to be fulfilled right now in the present. Every time you stand you anticipate change I like that saying maybe for other reason that what was meant in the poem. Another beautiful write about love.

Amazing work Ma'am! You do write the most emotional poems. So beautiful.. So great. Thank you :)

[EMF]

Perfect. You have the ability to craft and weave words to the point where the reader is so immersed within the world you create that it feels like it is an intensley personal piece. Again you have done just that, sparking off emotions as well as thought. Become a Creator. Stunning
