Flight of Fancy

Searching for love

 

The flight of my fancy
Dances in the cosmos
Looking for comfort and fortitude
Within the Stars dusty abode
To my weary heart
This traveler is weak
Plagued by loneliness
Comforted  by lust

Waiting for an angels warming caress
Soft  feathery touches within the soul
Caressing  the sanctuary
with a velvet touch
Soothing my senses

Love is my shelter and your domain
Forever we shall share this dream
Traveling in each others arms

A new domain is underway
Shadows of her smile are abound
Showing me her soul to share
Graced by beauty and Eros

The sun rises above the mountain
softly singing to the sea
Caressing the ocean
 as soft fingers of light
dance on its surface

 Tangled  up in  emotional  bliss
 Engulfing the very substance of the soul
 Our existence dwells between the veils
Of love and life
We now share as one

 Shimmering stars reach their pentacle
Birthing their young into the cosmos
Sharing their light to the
Abyss of the Universe
A symbol of life to come

 Raising the truth of love we share
Is this our house of emotion
Our house of hearts
Treating the other as strangers
as the years pass by with
the ticking of life’s clock

 Dawning a new day
a new love
 we still reside in the
heart of this house of love

All the love we shared
All the people we knew
In this house of blue
 are all an illusion to me now

The Traveler has traveled  
to the depths of his heart
And found his solace
His heart beats no more
For a strangers love
It beats
Only for his amore

After so long, another review - I'm new on the site and just browsing around, finding poetry I like well enough to justify comments. This is very good, as was the last one I read. Again, there is good imagery - I particularly like dancing in the cosmos, love is my shelter and your domain, softtly singing to the sea. The first and last stanzas are very nicely worded. There are some extraneous thoughts in some of the intervening stanzas and a change in voice that's distracting. By this latter I mean shifting from treating flight of fancy (or the poet) as a neutral entity in the first stanza, to 'my' in the second stanza, to 'your' in the third stanza, to 'her' in the fourth stanza, and then to 'we' as the poem progresses. Tighten this up and do away with the several lines that are 'telling' the reader what's going on instead of 'showing' the reader and the poem will be dynamite. Again many smiles to you for good work. :-) :-) :-)

interesting poem, I lost my frame of thought a little when reading this. i have to say the flow was great and some of the meanings of your single word made the poem that much better. good ink....
