My Lips Fall upon Your Thoughts

If my lips appear to fall upon your thoughts,
that is where
they are supposed to be.
At night,
when your ears hear pages
of the faintest verse
whispering on your neck,
it is my way of telling you everything
will be alright,
go back to sleep,
it is just me.

If you feel the softest kiss in the morning
as if the sun
has filled the passageways
of your heart
with everything you miss.
The radiance you feel in these spaces
is not a dream
in which you have fallen,
nor random chance,
it is my way
of sending you bliss.

If your temperature rises in a delightful instant,
eternally warming your soul
with a drink
and leaving your heart glowing.
It is because it holds the promises
my heart placed long ago
in a chalice called my love
where you can drink
of a warmth overflowing.

I am always with you
even on those nights
that seem to never end.
I walk delicately across your mind
tying the strings of your heart
to my own.
You can hear my voice
when my lips fall upon your thoughts
whispering,
“I love you, My Heart,
I’m coming home.”

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a delicate deeply emotional piece. It reminds me of someone who has lost the love of their live. The love still lingers even though this person is no longer walking the plains of this earth but has moved on to greater horizons but still whispers in the ether to the one they love and always will.

I enjoyed the thought behind these lines
Nice write keep up the work.

The radiance you feel in these spaces
Is not a dream
In which you have fallen
Nor random chance
It is my way
Of sending, you bliss

I'm sat here with a dopey grin on my face... and I know it's not even about me, but as always... always, you draw the reader in so much to your world, your story that they becme an intrinsic part of it. Sometimes observer, sometimes vouce, and sometimes, as here, the focus. Such a rare find, any author who can do that, and here on WC perhaps a handful. Exceptional work... and yes. Still got the dopey grin on my face.

First of all the title alone...I love
The picture is awesome
But more importantly...Neva, this is so amazingly beautiful.
This is my absolute favorite of yours.
If I had to pick out a favorite line or stanza it would be so hard to do because they are all so good, so well written. So beautiful. But if I had to of course it would be the last stanza.
This is going in my favs.
I can kinda relate to this one in my own life right now too.

As divine as a dash of colour upon fresh snow love! This is beautifully told, returning not just to the heart but to this level of existence.
So wonderful Neva, a great piece told in your elegant manner :) xoxo
