Once upon a mystery

A man of depth and philosophy

A breeze of Aristotle, he held me with  

tender green eyes and virtuous resolve... 

The blossoms of ancient trees bathed our love 

in endless rhapsody... 

Ancient Egyptian birds flew in billowing 

clouds of desire to tops of pyramids and beyond 

in tempestuous and restless visions 

of endless fantasy...

What a wonderful sensual fantasy this is, Pat! "Billowing clouds of desire"...love the concept of that line. The references to ancient Greece and Egypt are wonderful. I enjoyed this one. Falling in love with the intelligence of a person is just as important as being attracted for physical reasons. Lydi**

This has everything a reader needs from words: a gentle flow, -respectful of its content; a hint of other-ness - experience - a knowledge of what's been influencing the now. And, most of all, aweareness of the cerebral being stronger and more lasting than the physical. Perhaps. (My words are so long-winded, sorry, was thinking as I typed)

I n other words, Pat., you've covered so many aspect of Love.. and love... and how you view it!

[andrew mitchell]

This reminds me of first love, gentle, soft, a fantasy come true from which dreams are made or broken.... A lovely soft write Pat once more a little Gem.

Love is beyond physical attraction. A person's intellect can grip your fancy as well.
The reference to Greece and Egypt gives the poem an exotic flavour.
Indeed a very sensational poem.

It takes a deep mind to open up another's.
Deep thoughts can be very sexy. :)
I like this one.

dear Ana Sophia, perhaps my Father's love of
Shakespeare influenced my deep thoughts.

Those greatest mind are the ones that make us look beyond the world we already know... fascinating little poem.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cowboy, thank you for reviewing my poem.
It is amazing how the philosophy of the great are
even timely today. truly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i love it...when love is good it is because we love everything about the person, much more than physcial attraction---the soul of the person, the wisdom of the person...what we get philosophically from the relationship, just as important.

nicely done

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob, Yes, when two wise people
meet, there might be more wisdom
than we could live with. But then philosophy
may be a meeting of the minds. An explosion of
two Stars might be an event worthy of poetry.
truly, Pat

[TL Boehm]

My only frustration is that this does not continue. The two compact verses are exquisitely penned and I just want more.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear TL, I am humbled that you were
pleased with my poem. I also wanted to
continue with a few more verses.
How about a collaboration and you could
create two verses. Let me know. My email is
