laisser tranquille.

i can hold you in the silent hours
when all is still and the nighttime lingers
when only the shushing sound of water
caressing the boat hull is heard

i can hold you in this twilight world
where no one is wrong
and nothing is forbidden
phantom arms and secret kisses
from ghosts
i should know better than to wake
but whose touches i can’t bear
to live without

I liked the deep thoughts and the needs in the words. You made the reader feel and understand your thoughts. Thank you Jennie for sharing the amazing poetry.

An old face and a beautiful poem I never saw. Nicely done, Jennie.

yes, waking from some dreams is like hitting a sand bar so hard the boat breaks and sinks...

Everything about this poem woke my emotions in a good way. The pace, softness of tones and the peaceful aura from title to ending.

I find that no one
is wrong
when no one
is near.

Your art
as always
is transcendent

beautiful and deeply moving poem...good strong writing!

In my opinion, this mingled delicately with perfection. When you read a writer's work, sometimes you can be impressed, you can be appreciative, and in some rare cases you wish you had written it, not in envy but in admiration. This is the case this time.

I thought this painted a most beautiful picture. The pace is magnifique, I have a damned love for alliteration too. Wonderful. Cheers.

Well done! Can feel the emotion especially in the last three lines!

ohh this is so serene,jennie dear
how calm your world like mine.so dreamy and ghostly
even love is done like hidden like so ghostly,after a wake
after some long sleep from a world where no one is wrong
all allowed,nothing forbidden,stupid world but can we really touch again
lets see its never easy ,never was
