Witness a poem spoken and written by Robert Trakofler image by author

Witness…

 

Let me drink,

from the sustenance of your heart;

For mine beats,

in resonance of its impart.

And the rate,

of my reverence for its remark;

Is the pulse,

to the poetry of my art.

It is for you;

That the skies part,

and the words flow.

That the lights arc,

on the wave crests glow.

It is for you…

my dashes dart,

on the breezes blow.

And passion marks,

on my penning throws.

It is, for you.

What a wonderful gift you bestow upon your reader with this offering; you give your reader a sense of importance and connection to your work and I think that is a most worthwhile effort. Why else would a poet write? Of course poets cannot do otherwise considering our incurable condition but it certainly endears the reader to the author. I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing your uplifting verse.

Often people ask me if I have a muse and I always respond "You" They usually just give me "the look" of incredulity and/or a blush and shake their heads:) But my muse has always been the reader and I worship and relish the reader even if my lines only meet one pair of eyes they are everything to me

This is such a wonderful, refined and beautiful piece. It’s just so clear and concise, and the rhymes are just great. It’s feels like what my mind goes to when I think ‘classical, but unique and gorgeous love poem.’ ‘ That the skies part, and the words flow. That the lights arc, on the wave crests glow.’ that was my favorite part especially, thank you for sharing.

[Robert Trakofler]

welcome dear witness

A love poem written in your own inimitable style, Bunny. As usual, you make good use of the near rhymes. Liked especially the upbeat tone. Hope your recovery is progressing well.

[Robert Trakofler]

Hi John, it's funny I don't know if I do have a style I suppose I must but it just sorta happens at this point:/ but thank you for the nice compliment! I am slowly getting stronger I fear that my heart will never be the same LOL it took a pretty good beating... no pun intended so I'm gonna make do with the time I have and that includes trying to bang out some good poetry and read some good poetry and get my mind back to that place where i saw beauty everywhere and appreciated each glimpse

Brother bunny, this is amazing.
Such a sweet love poem and read with such grace.
Love the rhyme scheme and how you toss in some perfect slant rhyme.
You do something with verse that I could never do in a million years.
Should I become a Vampire and live that long.

LOL if you and I lived that long we would probably converse in poetry and in double/triple meanings:/ I dont know about you but I find it difficult to write anything without at least a double meaning and at least two time signatures anything less and I get to bored to finish it LOL

[Robert Trakofler]

psst thank you for such a nice compliment
