"Float to me"

A vision calls...

 

                              “Float to me”

 

 

Changing directions

In a forestalled motion,

balanced on the side of truth while practicing losing my step

in the rushing waters of life…

I slip

 

Clinging to a lone branch

I find it blocking the sky, pulling shadows from mist

and teetering on the edge of someone’s sacred sanity

 

My eyes,

stern and fashioned of blinded occurrences that swallow

the light of day and the masks of sympathetic stares,

focus

 

For in the distance,

tapestries woven of heartbeats glisten on the ripples of a naked moon beam,

motioning to me in pleasing movements a’ dance on its reflections

 

Passionately in syncopated volumes she whispers,

louder than the hope now swirling in the rising swells

and broken slivers of drastic wastelands which

sit vacant in my mind

 

“Float to me”,

I hear as the cool waters so elegantly gather about her perfect feet

Her toes grip the rocky floor in such beauty that I fall helplessly,

allowing nature’s crest to take me, singing me sweetly to this pristine dream

 

Disbelief churns in fountains of doubt fed wishes and desires

as I submerge in the beauty that is her

Engulfed by white capped rapids beating faster…only my heart

She, with silken fingers plucks me from the surf,

her fragrance, lilac and magnolia, intoxicate me

 

We stand, shades of the deep sky and starlight beacons illume her face

As fireflies play in the trees and

our lips meet, my pulse floods with fever

 

Her desperate thoughts invade my elated mind and I agree

Together we plunge to the depths of forever and I slowly drown in her love

Saved by and then drowning in the warmth of her love. That is definitely the way to go if you're gonna go ;)
Beautiful as always, Jack. Your words capture the soul, wrap a lasso around it, and tug each of us close to your heart through your craft.

[Jack...]

I was hoping you would like this. Actually it didn't start out to be this poem, when I began it was a little dark but then I had a feeling wash over me and I followed it and this is where it led. Thank you so much my dear friend.

[Emerald Seas]

Well of course I like it - you wrote it! I'm in a funky mood this morning. I'm glad this wasn't dark as Slice already hit a nerve :) this was pleasantly uplifting!

[Jack...]

Smile Sera, we are always here for you...

Yours is the first of a very long list of read requests to fulfill and I must say I am pleasantly pleased with my first selection. you have provided a deep insight into your personal feeling. I especially liked the image of you reaching for a tree branch out of the depths of water. It reminds me of Greek mythological story of Tantalus.

[Jack...]

George, I do appreciate you leaving such kind words.

[redflutterby]

I see why many call you a great romantic...your words illicit so many dreamlike images of beauty....I'm in awe. ;-)

I think I just fainted and passed over into ecstasy. Sigh.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Frieda. This is the perfect way to spend a Friday night, reading your always sweet reviews.

Sorry, I can't talk to you now, I'm still languishing in this poem.
