Serenading Your Basis

You are a perfect branch
descending
from yourself.
I have been waiting
at your roots,
trying to find myself.  

Which part of your trunk
do I stem from,
I cry out to the moon.
Am I not a part of you
whose flowers
are in tune?

I am sharing needful moments
full of sensations anew;
becoming naked
with each breath I take,
singing a song
of truth.

Staring into forever
my heart pounds
with hopes and dreams.
I am waiting at your roots,
with beauty bursting
at my seams.

You are a perfect branch,
no need to conform.
I am here
serenading your roots
to become your flowers that adorn.

For me there is a sense of awe about this piece. It speaks to me of how we become intertwined with the beloved, Such lovely writing.

My favorite line--
Which part of your trunk
do I stem from,
I cry out to the moon.
Am I not a part of you
whose flowers
are in tune?

One of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. That simple. 100 plus

[Beth Winter]

Beautiful analogy. In my opinion, the poem gains strength without the image, leaving the metaphors to do the work without the visual stimulus. Only my opinion. The poem is great as is, only a thought.

[Don Shaw]

Great poem, i like it.

"You are a perfect branch,
no need to conform.
I am here
serenading your roots
to become your flowers that adorn."

The tree analogy was cool!

"staring into forever
my heart ponds
with hopes and dreams
i am waiting at your rrots,
with beauty bursting
at my seams...."

such a beauty Neva, your sense of imagery is perfect and i love your personification of human feelings in a tree...you placed that tree on quite a pedestal! an exquisite poem....as usual...no words beyond!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Such symphonic writing...truly a pleasure to read :)

[emmajoy]

What a wonderful likeness a woman's love is to a growing plant; to wait and wait, to become a beautiful part of someone else. Seems you want so much to give, to share what you are to the other .. that's what real and unselfish love is.

[Letemdangle]

This makes the speaker subservient. Which is OK. This is not your usual style.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

It's amazing how two people couple their lives and bodies together, but
yet, one locks their soul away from the other.
