tryst

05/2011

 I look into your eyes ever so closely as we lay in my bed

  silently removed from the war that rages around us

     breathing in unison the placidity of this moment

      my fair love, this night we are safe from peril

                            

               our litanies are in amplified effect

                           

                we are impervious to their fallacies

                            

  we have hollowed out an early embrace in this wall of time

   a chance for our knowing lips to kiss, a tangible collision

     a way to soothe our aching skin, melting collectively                                                           my fair love, this night we have made for ourselves

[Omar Fendri]

'a way to soothe our aching skin' ! outstanding...
This poem's rich with expressions and emotions are somehow speakable. Those dramatic words goes beyond 'drawing up' a poem. They picture an image of sensual experience in a very careful beautiful way. Amazing piece.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Fervent, true to heart even though we don't know how this tryst came out. It is open-ended in its beauty.

Soft, sensual, but troubled all the same. You set it out and put it across with ease, a tangible collision
a way to soothe our aching skin, a brilliant line. 

[Rene Velez]

kingly in it's approach, well constructed, imagery is superb.
