Outside of the Lines

Whispers from nowhere reach beneath light
cutting through the love
I feel for you,
playing inside of my thoughts.
I think of their sound,
how I feel them in the air I breathe
and when I sleep,
how they call from every mountaintop
I have ever sought.

I find I am defining their promises
every morning
in the hush of silence
and as I write I welcome them
into the rooms of me.
I lend them my fingertips
to search for the sunlight
of my feelings
until I hear the words
that rhyme
with we.

A reflection of the whispers can be tasted
when it drifts in
with the morning's expectations
as if it flew from a cage
of intimacy.
My air is filled with love
crying out to my heart
that this time it will not be broken
nor lie alone as I breathe.

Whispers from nowhere lead me into spaces
outside of the lines I write,
where I can feel
your embrace.
The strings of my heart
stand still to be strummed
into place
as the promise of your fingertips
searches for the sunlight
on my feelings' face.

Whisper is one of my favourite words. I just love the notion. i also like the idea of them reaching, cutting and playing. All very active, draamtic and romantically moving. This line is supurb, 'A reflection of the whispers can be tasted'. I love that. Another winning line for me is, 'The promise of your fingertips'. The romance of it all is tangible and overwhelming. The sibilance of the last verse wld be great to listen to as it flows like a tide into us. A lovely job.

"I find I am defining their promises

and as I write I welcome them

This feels like a walk in the woods with the one we love.

[Coyote Poetry]

Such a beautiful journey with your words. I like the gentle desires and the flow of this poem of love and need. The touch is under-rated. A gentle touch can take you away from the pain of life and take you to a very good place. I enjoyed the complete poem. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
