A new reflection

"Life is always around the corner"

I thought my walls were crumbling

I thought I could stand no more

but the mist of your love

gently invited me in

until I could see

a crystal-clear image of myself in the water

and then I saw your face too

I looked back to where I was

but I was gone

lost in the image of you

and me

and us.

This reads like a beautiful greeting card professing love, and life (and I mean that totally as a compliment). The personalization of the one who set your heart free from crumbling walls is SO real, so vivid. I pictured the two of you...standing in a light rainfall, your hair getting wet (but you don't care) and holding hands. If I could draw a picture of the scene it would capture the image but not the spirit.
Extremely well done! take care...dan

You really got something special here

Well if you cant count on her
to bring you this sort of feeling

what would be the point ..... this feels like a mirage ......

[SleeplessVolcano]

yeah....I get these mirage poems around midnight, if the midnight snack is good enough and the purring cat creates just the right amount of nocturnal peace....:)

cats ...... eeeeehhhh ...... i write in bed alot ......

[SleeplessVolcano]

"eeeehhhhhh" noun. 1. Expression of subdued excitement
adjective 2. Polite expression of slight irritation
non-identifiable part of speech 3. Used on online poetry sites for expressions not
yet officially added to general language usage
origin: Latin, from eeeeeee (means to shout)
and Arabic hhhhhh (means to hesitate), therefore, a shout of hesitation...

:)....I should write dictionaries for a living....:P

[Nisreen]
