Aware

A romance poem...A sort of a love letter...

Aware/……………………By Sami Khalil

A romance poem…

The Poem:

Dancing with vim and vigor,

Long before stars' dim flicker

And the leaves that wither...

Long before the winnowing

Of the wind across soul-scented

Barns and old plowed fields…

Long before our silent questions

Became aware of potentiality

And their scattered companions (answers)…

Conversely, it was “just us”,

Painted in the sheen's of love prompt,

With poignant looks at life and laughter.

Long before roots remember

soil’s drifted fragrances,

Or the five senses of the truest form,

Away from all common places.

Long before wishful thinking,

Merit and demerit,

Even instruments knowing their plectrums;

I read your eyes! I fathomed the silence we spoke constantly!

I loved you!

"i read your eyes. I fathomed the silence" - the epitome of pure romance. Beautiful scenes painted with words, great techniques like repetition, alliteration, metaphor, assonance and most of all, a damn fine read :) Penny

Such a romantic write i loved it.This made my day. :) you've so beautifully captured the wonderful moments- the time when we look into the eyes of our love the whole world comes to a standstill.We become aware that they are the only one who can turn our sorrows to mirth and darkness to light. :) Well done again.You made me remember my first and only love :)

Love this one, Sami. As a romantic person, I enjoy pieces about love and friendship. She is a lucky woman to have you. Even when you don't speak, you can read each others' eyes. Yes, the heart knows and feels everything.
So romantic. I enjoyed reading this. Thanks for the share.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Thank you so much Dhaye for the lovely review, sentiments and continued support. All rich blessings...:).........................

Deborah is such a lucky lady to have such a beautiful poem written for her, to her. Did I ever mention my first loves name was Khalil? well it was his birthday five days ago, I never missed his birthday before, we have been blessed to remain in touch for all these years, he has a beautiful family now, I pray he is happy, he seems so. Now we are friends but not close like we once were but this poem reminds me of those days when I loved him so much like this poem reads but there never was a silent communication like you have with your Belle, when you find a love like that you hang on to it, many blessings my friend and this poem is such a beautiful gift to your beloved, may you have many many years together.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So true and well spoken. I love that you shared that with us and sad about your end with him. But such is life I guess. I'm so thankful my dear long time friend and brilliant poet for this wonderful review. I'm always honored by the knowing...:)................

[Corset]

such is life, Sami, if we are not loved by who we love there is usually a better life ahead for us. I think we have to be ready and willing to embrace it. Take care of you my friend, till next time ;)

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Words of wisdom. Until we meet again....:) ......

[Corset]

What a beautiful romantic spirit you have my friend.. Your words always captivate my soul and magically transport me into a world of beauty and wonder. You never disappoint with your ability to touch my heart in the most tender, charming way. You enchant me with your musical words whispered sweetly and your brilliant imagery tickling my senses. This speaks to me of that moment before... The moment you look into your lovers eyes and the world fades away.. Everything you thought you knew before is gone.. replaced by the "knowing"... The sense that...they are THE one.. The connection is there and grabs ahold of your heart and just "clicks".... It is so powerful that you are consumed with them.. No words are needed... The love is there, fluttering like angel's wings through your soul carrying you away in its epiphany.. You are just "AWARE" of them... all of your senses sharpened on them... Their scent, their sound, their touch, their taste, and what you see in their eyes reflected back at you... The other half of your soul smiling, basking in the glory of a love so warm, so pure, so intoxicating... As always, Sami--I love this.. You know I am such a fan.. You have made my heart sigh with such profound contentment.. :)

[Sami Khalil]

Romantic and well done, it has a tone of desperate longing to it. One thing, in the middle, there is a shift in font, pretty sure it was unintentional.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. It is not on my computer side. I wonder why? . I used one font. Any way, thank you so much for all...:).....

[Lyn Anderson]

It's the line "painted in the sheens of love"

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. I see it now. I think it is Microsoft word for some reason. I will check. Be blessed...:)............
