High Above Our Never

Forever tells me these tears will continue and be heard as thunder when they fall.

Lightning strikes and shifts high above our never.
Time flows like a river standing out in delight.  
There is more power within ideas
pressing against the throat of morning;
filling your life’s cup with wonder,
than when dusk stands alone
dressed only
in feathered flight.

You cannot pry open the fingers of flight
make them advance any higher
even if you want to know
about time that’s passed.
Twisting and turning you will begin falling,
until what you want to be
sweeps across this land.  
Take my hand
perhaps we will learn
the truth at last.

Last night you looked better
than the first time I met you.
All the while familiar feelings
sank into our sleep.
Madness streams into a waterfall of self,
full of imperfection.
Where comfort causes passion
to stretch tenderly
into each word you kiss,
when our talk
runs ever deep.

All the tears that fall between rocks
surrounding your loneliness
want you to try hard
feel nothing at all.
They glisten as they attempt to become
lost inside your stubborn heart.
Forever tells me these tears
will continue as trails on faces,
and be heard as thunder
when they fall.

this is absolutely incredible... It's the kind of writing that inspires me to want to expand and culture my own writing style. Profound depth painted by a harmonious blend of elegance and insight. Genuinely enjoyed this- great job.

Each stanza a masterpiece in itself.. not sure which one I like the most, as all four say so much to life, and how I am feelling it at this point in time..

The last stanza, just blows me away..

All the tears that fall between rock surrounding your loneliness
Want you to try hard, feel nothing at all..
They glisten as they attempt to become lost inside your stubburn heart...

I honestly felt like you were speaking to me....
So very well done!!

Never will always be near but forever will always be here. Beginnings are full of hope , if we can keep hope we can always keep beginning.

A great well thought out, very emotive poem. I fell in love with the line: "There is more power within ideas
pressing against the throat of morning;". That was great imagery and really struck a chord with me as well. A nice piece of writing.

God Bless.

a gorgeous example of surreal blending flawlessly with the real~ human and divine dancing in liquid grace from the tip of your quill~ what lovely imagery you've created here~ a ballet~ yes~ it feels much like a ballet with words~ pure grace~
