The Island in Your Arms

Found an island in your arms... country in your eyes...

MYRIADS OF SWIRLING LIGHT
EMBLAZON THE HORIZON SHOUTING
GOLDEN TALES OF VANQUISHED
DARKNESS HOLDING DIAMONDS FOR ALL TO SEE.

BLIND FROM BEAUTY BUT NOT
FROM FATE MY HEART IS LIKE A CALM
OCEAN IN A STORM THE RAIN PRODDING WHAT
IS ALREADY THERE TELLING ME TO SINK OR SWIM

AN OLDFOUND LOVE FOR A
NEWFOUND FACE

Author's Note

Inspired by a San Blas sunrise, second day before I left to go back home after four months of traveling. Not just about the amazing morning but my travels in general, and everything I learned. The picture is from that morning.

Beautiful piece, but the caps made it seem like it was being yelled. (I'm not a fan of caps lock.)

Great word choice and gorgeous imagery- love your unique way of describing things. Excellent write, I would just change the caps, and perhaps add some consistency with grammar. Nice write.

Oh, the imagery is stunning........it was always a dream for me to travel, but I grow older now and have less time, I love this beauty you have created. We learn so much about life and ourselves when we discover different things.

Beautiful imagery and wonderful word choice. I'm jealous. You had the opportunity to travel around. I hope I get the chance to do that too...... ....not likely :(
But, your travels must have been quite the experience since you write so many poems about it :]
