Uncut

A soft image satisfies the deepest sea
found in your eyes
recognized as comfort.
Harmony makes a new wind flow lovingly
into the arms
of old wounds suffered.  

Measured out our shores bend
to meet in passion
to taste time’s recurrent goals.
Lighted I talk with my hands
to find balance
shimmering within my soul.

Scenes pass by of places with nowhere to go,
sailing as tributes tired of singing chords
without gain.
Still, I smile magically as if I am bound
to live life uncut
yet emptied of all pain.

As a huge fan of your work Neva, you know I am above all honest in what I review,

"Measured out our shores bend
to meet in passion
to taste time’s recurrent goals.
Lighted I talk with my hands
to find balance
shimmering within my soul. "

This stanze screamed at me, it encompasses the mere taste of human companionship and the reluctance to let go of sexual and loving affairs, well done, great read!

"...to live life uncut / yet emptied of all pain." Neva, this is fabulous. It just doesn't get much more profound!

I love this, really beautiful diction. For some reason, it created the image of walking along the shoreline, deep in thought. Not sure why, but it was very pretty, so, good job!

Beautiful beautiful, writing that puts the reader in the lock of a trance, something mystical, a hold.
