You Came

Your poetry came in to my soul

You came in to my heart

That is all I will ever remember

That is all I shall ever know for truth

Until I grow old,

Until I die.

[Augustus]

This poem says a lot in very few words. One can read sentiments here that can be intensely personal and yet universal at the same time. One interpretation could be the one given by Horizon K. below. For me, the first two lines of the poem say everything really. John Keats wrote in his "Ode on a Grecian Urn", that
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all
Ye know on earth and all ye need to know".
And I think that applies here to. The beauty of poetry is what speaks to our soul. The beauty in fellow beings is what stays in our hearts. This isn't the superficial beauty of the words or the body, but a transcendental one that can communicate without any words being uttered. It is the beauty of that moment, that you will remember forever. And we all have such moments in life. An extremely elegant write. Wonderfully penned!

Very concise, very simple, and yet the feelings and emotions are strong and relevant. Isn't it strange how just a few well placed words can effect a mind so completely and deeply?

[Androglossia]

This cut me deep, cut me real deep. And I want you to feel guilty for inducing such effect on me...:)

[Belle]

You have to feel the same guilt as you induced me same effect on your ' San Antonio". My quick pen even became quicker because you have set fire on me. :P

[Androglossia]

Clever... you:)

[Belle]

Ha ha ha!

Ah- power of poetry brings gift and curse at times...tsk!

[Androglossia]

Indeed.. .

A poem touches us in so many ways possibles, the power of words either brings light or darkness. In this poem i could see both:

"you came in to my heart
That is all I will ever remember "

I believed that when someone brings light, there will always be someone to take the light...

a heartfelt piece my courageous friend ;)

When poetry touches your soul so deeply that it is etched forever in your heart that is when you are
truly alive. Beautiful work of art, Belle. Lovely!~xoxo~:)

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. Words can overtake our mind and heart. A real writer can make you cried or wish to be in a better place. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Until I die...

So heartfelt. Short but very powerful. How magical and powerful are those words to enter into one's soul, and let them occupy his/her mind until he/she grow old...and until the end?

This poem is really touching...with the much appropriate music playing. Superb, Ms. Belle. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...lovely words, Belle. Wonderful to meet you!

[Wolfwind]

Beautiful, smooth and filled with heart, joy and memory. Your words craft a loving connection in a fabulous way. Showing us both the kindness and compassion, but the dedication as well.

Great Ink Ms. Belle! =)

This almost made me tear up for it is so good and heartfelt. The power of your words here transcend poetry. A great one indeed...:)

[Everett DeValle]

Wow, galing mo, Belle.

It reminds me of a book I read, and a movie I seen, as well...called 'the Lover'...the movie is steamy...it's about a young French girl who fell in love with an Asian man torn from the taboo of the times...the ending of the book reminded me of your poem, which is exquisite Passion.

[Belle]

Galing sa kaluluwa, tagus-tagusan sa puso ang dala nung tao kaya naging poem na ganyan. Lover din ba ang title ng movie? Gusto ko din mapanood.

Ang galing galing mo na mag-tagalog, at ang cute cute pa din. I wish naririnig ko accent mo :D

[Everett DeValle]

Lol, I'm so rusty in Tagalog, but dito sa America...me and best friend and family always do Taglish...if we see someone showing off...we say, 'hella Mayabs'...we shorten Tagalog words...a somewhat Cali creole language.

Yes, you should watch the movie, 'The Lover'...it is very Passionate...okay, I personally, watched it many times because I was in LOVE with Jane March! I wanted a love like that...the sex scenes are explicit but tastefully done...but it is a true story...when 2 lovers are torn from taboo...but the illicit affair is poetic in itself. :)

[Belle]

Lol! I liked that - 'hello Mayabs'. Kung nandito samin ang tawag dyan language ng mga ' Kolehiyala'. We associate the attitude to the College Brats. Pero kapag sosyal maganda naman pakinggan lol. Parang ikaw nga, nai-imagine ko ang accent mo. 'Totyal' street language for sosyal..

I am intrigued by these : 'when 2 lovers are torn from taboo...but the illicit affair is poetic in itself. :)' Kuha mo na ako, dyan. papanoorin ko talaga. eto yun di ba?
