your eyes found my words

your fingers answered the unasked

skillfully unknotting my thoughts 

by awakening the melodies in my soul

i jumped on a raft made of metaphors

navigating the quicksand of the day

then opening the door to the night

raw rootlets of poetry blossomed into flowers

jagged notes sang themselves into melodies

all because your eyes found my words

such beauty in your poem, Lydi .. i love the riding the quicksands of the day on metaphors ..what better way to navigate sometimes difficult and tricky straights ... it's the lover all poets need says i .. reading our selves with their eyes .. unlocking the energy to create and pour forth things as this .. "Your eyes found my words" ... mmmmmmmmm "jagged notes sang themselves into melodies" .. just gorgeous ma'am .. and i have been meaning to say that your pic choices are always inspiring by themselves and so appropriate for your writing ... i can tell you spend time choosing them .. thanks always for sharing! :)

Nice examination of the relationship between the poet and the reader. What is a poem if nobody reads it? However, if the right person does read it, then magic occurs. Very skillful use of metaphors here.

Thanks so much, John. Lydi**

so metaphorical, but I especially liked the second stanza...Metaphors navigating the quicksand of the day...that is so visual.

eyes find the words, and the words find the heart.

This is poetry at its heart. Emotion filled, a dreamlike aspiration, and love. You took me on a journey in these words. One I hope never to come back from. Wonderful work Lydia.
