Somwhere New

Somewhere New

 

 

At last she sees

What I see

Eye to eye

The reflection of herself

In my iris

And the dream I was in

Since I met her

 

Welcome to my mind

The morning sheds gold

And the night silver

The wake up, the calm,

Whenever she needs it

 

Look at how her hand

Fits perfectly in mine

The things I do

For her tears to subside

 

She smiles at my wist

To discern her every wish 

To make danger look secure

To see crosses over canyons

To make tide pools from tempests

As if to us a thorn was as blunt

The riptide was as shallow

A fire would be couth

As nature is benign

I show her she’s divine

When the animated trees in my mind

Brought to life by love

Lift her to the sky

The inspiring thermal air

Rushes through her hair

The wind we rode

To the heights above

 

Somewhere new

Where I could pluck poems and songs

Out of the air

Zephyrs charm spoken phrases

That she loves to hear

The smell of strawberries everywhere

Oh dear she’s doing that one sided smile again

Hairline to hairline forehead to forehead

Leaning to kiss over and over

Now she knows how I feel

Whenever I’m with her

[gombeggar]

oh, i wouldn't have...that's y it's yer poem, not mine...love is strange thing...and hits us all in a different way even if there are similarities...and in mah experience love can be one sided, or 2 sided even 3 sied or more...love is very complicated...keep working on it, u'll find the path that suits u in writ and life

[Deron Alexis]

[N!LoC]

[Deron Alexis]

as it should be

[Frieda P]

Our lovers if we're lucky, bring out the best in us and we view it through their eyes, love the last stanza.

'Zephyrs charm spoken phrases' *sigh* so lovely...

...she smiles at my 'wit'?

[Deron Alexis]

[Frieda P]

Ahh, I googled it to make sure and that didn't come up...good to know & my pleasure. ;-)

[Deron Alexis]

this is really old English like 1066 , battle of Hastings kind of language this is a poem where I first found the word

E have a wist, sin e couthe I meen
The children hath by candle leet

E have a wist, sin e couthe I meen
The children hath by candle leet
Her shadewe on the wal iseen
And ronne thereafter all they neet

Bisy abouta, they han, they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wen

E have a wist, sin e couthe I meen
The children hath by candle leet
For no lines that, that they couthe lay
To this world and yesterday

Bisy abouta, they han, they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wen

E have a wist, sin e couthe I meen
The children hath by candle leet
Her shadewe on the wal iseen
And ronne thereafter all they neet

Bisy abouta, they han, they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wen
Bisy abouta, they han, they han ben
And whom they catchen it best wolde wen

[Frieda P]
