Wonder What You're Thinking

There’s a gentleness about you

and it comes as no surprise

that I feel a warm glow

when I look into your eyes.

 

As I reach out to you

I wonder what you’re thinking

while your heart holds me close

keeping mine from sinking.

Author's Note

This poem was inspired by the song by Passenger. It seems I am spending too much time on youtube :-) Love the song though!

You tube is as adicting as writer's cafe (personally I don't think you can spend too much time in either),
especially if they inspire words like these. You always write with eloquence and grace.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one! Once again your encouraging review puts a smile on my face and warms the heart. I am so happy to know that you enjoy my poetry.

[Dara]

Thank you so very much. I have just rediscovered "Passenger" and find his music and lyrics so inspiring. It is nice to see you here :-)

Nice song, I had never heard the song before I found your link... You say you were a teacher but, really, you are a great teacher because I have been learning from you. I mean, my native language isn´t English so, I "eat" new words while reading you.

[Dara]

I am so very humbled by your words. It is a huge compliment to know that you have been learning from my writing. The teacher in me is simply glowing!! Thank you :-)

Tenderness and a touch of sorrow wrapped in a delicate veil of sensuality.
I love these words, dear Dara.

[Dara]

Thank you my special friend. You have summed it all up so beautifully and your words, once again, touch my heart.

[Misery]

You are welcome, Dara. It is always a pleasure to stroll among your sweetly blossoming words.

[Samuel Dickens]

Terrific! Your words are just right, and I love those guys, "Passenger." Sweet music and words.

[Dara]

Yes aren't they great! I am going to get my guitar out (finally) and try to learn this one. I am so happy you liked my poem as well.

' There’s a gentleness about you .. ' and, there is in your poem.

If you can be inspired by a song/music to write such a beautiful poem, not a jot of time's been wasted.Tis smooth and deftly put together.. and worth a second visit.

[Dara]

You have just made my day with this warm review. Thanks so much for stopping by and I am so glad you feel the same way about music and poetry :-)

[emmajoy]

I do, I do, i do! :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A enjoyed the poem. I liked the flow of thoughts leading to the question at the end. Poetry should be story and to leave something with the reader. You did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
