you are the poem i read

"anastasia" by garmash

when the world is overwhelming

and the horizon is suddenly dark

you are the poem i read

your waterfalls of emotion drench me

i open my mind to a kaleidoscope of color                

            an ever-changing palette of hues

like colonizing a new country

words build new meanings

            then take up residence in my psyche

each one like a kiss on my cheek

                        then my neck

                                    and beyond

each one thrilling me just a little more

till the world is not so bad after all

and i’m hungry to take a bite out of my day

            you need to know this

you are the poem i read

Don't think I've ever come close to being someone's poem--expletive, perhaps.
This poem is on another level, Lydia; it practically lives and breathes.
Amazing!

There is nothing quite like poetry to uplift the soul...and when a person becomes your poetry...it is the most priceless thing in the universe. Lydi as always...your poems bring me home. I find myself in your words. in the fresh, deep and dazzling ways you express yourself. sigh! each line is a poem in itself. :)

[redzone]

you know Lydi, after some days, with all their darkness, I come here to read poetry, to see what creations have been draped across my screen... it often gives me hope and a reason to write... there are only a few that I can say this to and about.. but Lydi, you are the poet that I read, you are the poet whose poetry I need.... and this poem is one of the many reasons why.... yes, Lydi, "nice"...

Thank you, Curt.....you honor me with your praise and I so appreciate it. Here's to more poetic days...ones where darkness stays away and everything is "nice". Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful and gentle words led the reader to the appreciate of the word. I agree with the logic of the poem. A good book or poetry can take us to better places. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry my dear friend.
