Capturing Visions

Oh, how we wished to capture visions
 drink love from altars
where we shared those nights
 so sweet.
To chase away
those hours
when heartbreak regarded our affection
from places deeper than days
 that could not  
look inside our needs.

The rain knows how we tenderly searched
for sun lying dormant
 when nothing said goodbye
Even though
we welcomed hands building walls
around our Troy
Neither of us could see our own faces
or recognize
the heart we should know
before our own eyes.

A strong poem. The use of Troy in the poem left me with questions. The walls were strong. But could be broken in by secret and con.
'The rain knows how we tenderly searched
for sun lying dormant
when nothing said goodbye"
Thank you for a excellent poem.

Another beautiful write Neva, done with your usual grace and softness. You have captured not only visions, but feeling and emotions as well

The visions of this poem inspire life and inspire us to live.
You have captured that special magic and sprinkled it on us all.

And recognize

A very thought provoking poem. I loved the first line especially - 'how we wished to capture visions'. The images you include with your poems as well are amazing.

I read and re-read to explore the depth and fullness of your exploration and use of language. This is a feast of beautiful phrasing that pulses with emotion.

This is exceptional, the whole analogy to Troy and the wall built applied to self and each other, beautiful :)
