swallowed by the sea

If I love something too long it turns to rain,

Pit pats into the lakes,

Then swallowed by the sea.

But I'll breathe this one with breath fresh as spring

Into a balloon released, 

Carried in soft water vapor,

Bowed along double variegation,

Into morphing sky loft clouds.

Will I whisper into winds

With warm words spoken truly,

Cast loosely as dandelion parachutes

Wafting gracefully?

For steam collects invisibly

On the uppermost azure cupola

Where there tugs Earth's affections

Drawing dreams from vapors

Collapsing into lakes

Then swallowed by the sea.

Reviews

[Claire in VA]

Beautiful poetry, Xavier.
I cant adequately review this;
your poetry is heavenly.
~Claire

So, so glad you've added new pieces!

[Lyn Anderson]

ahh, your writing always sings so gracefully -- I must admit, and I have said it before, I feel a little clumsy next to you. The first and third stanzas are my favourites, but all with beautiful imagery. For me it feels like surrendering to loving, despite what may happen in the end.

An outermost think. Great my friend. Love this and your vision.
