The Poetry Man

in memory of a special poet whose spirit lingers continuing to inspire

You wrote of angst and ecstasy

where lovers meet

in fantasy.

 

Your sensual words enticed me

with sultry prose

seducing me.

On wings of love you carried me

where souls unite

eternally.

 

Should the whole world crumble

yet will I stand

for my heart clings to

the poetry man.

This is a re post as I slip into nostalgia thinking about years gone by.

The Poetry Man, past and present is a keeper, perhaps not necessarily in presence but in the invisible touch left pon heart and mind. Surely.

Pretty and/or valuable gifts bought from shops and stores are all very well -. BUT when a man gazes into your eyes and whispers words that come from his heart, then, he's given you more than a gift, he's given you everything.

(Either that or he's a right villain.. only the recipient can know which!)

Dear Emma, I am not sure how I missed this special review. Your words always touch the heart and I am ever so grateful for your visits. Thank you so much for your continued support and interest in my writing. Yes, the poetry man is indeed a keeper in so many ways!

[emmajoy]

Never rush on my account, for my sins, am not the quickest reviewer or polite friend. :)

A beautiful poem. Those people who can make poetry come alive and song. Make us wish and wonder. Thank you Dara for sharing the amazing poetry.

Seems to me we need a Movie 🎥 made about a Poetry Man... you could be a Playwright ...
truly a touching poem that happens ... Pat

[Dara]

Many many thanks Pat for your wonderful insight. As it was, we were writing a book together about how we met but he passed away before I could meet him in person. Yet, his effect on me and my poetry lingers. So wonderful to see you here. Happy New Year!

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh yes, we can fall in love with words even if we never know the man or woman who writes them. Sounds like this poet made quite an impact on you. I liked your tribute to him. Lydi**

[Dara]

Thank you so much, Lydi. He was one of those underrated but brilliant writers and gone way too soon. It is so good to hear from you. Hope you have a wonderful year.

[Lydia Shutter]

The very same to you, Dara!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such an endearing read and very beautifully expressed.

Wishing you the happiest of new years, Dara! Keep warm!!

[Dara]

Thanks so much dear Kelly. Maya Angelou expressed it best when she said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." A very Happy New Year to you too!

Thank you and I am happy you remembered. I also recall how I enjoyed collaborating with you on a poem that was a spin off of this one. It was a great experience and I learned so much from you.
