The Sense of Velvet

from ‘The Island of Slumbers’

 

Feeling

strange feeling

so warm and tender

that delicate feeling

of embracing the sky

of touching the velvet

the penetration sense

of diving into the water

 so deep and full -

  it makes him crazy...

And he is melting

like a candle

that’s burning, warming

 two lonely hearts -

as if he were her

 as if she were him -

two separated hearts

which are together

in their sweetest

dreams

Reviews

Two seperated souls, yet melted together through universal touch. This is such a real deep write of emotions, very romantic, in sense of not reaching eachother fully! Great write.

The wick burns brightly for these two lovers. The wax melting together as one. What a poetic tribute to what sweet dreams are often made of. Gorgeous penning my friend.

[Wendy Seames Garner]

Beautiful and passionate!

For some reason I'm reminded of Neruda here.. the delicacy of phrasing perhaps within the passion of lovers.

'like a candle ~ that’s burning, warming ~ two lonely hearts - as if he were her ~ as if she were him -'

"the penetration sense"; this ties the poem together beautiful
I've been witnessing this poem in strange tunnels recently..

I had to read this twice before I realized these two were separated--yet the poem is so full of feeling, it makes them seem to be together.
