You and I

Just musings

You and I    by Sami S. Khalil 

                        

To tarry

once more

or jump into

the fray,

into the shadows

of the fallen

before us.

Imperilments, feints

ahead

upended, interfused.

Of wracks and ruins

a vast prairie

of grand surmises

clenches the jeweled dreams,

daybreak-kissed.

You and I

then rise to meet

the trilling birds

alight the cerulean skies.

We wend our ways

and float blithely.

Hello Sami. Don't go into the fray. Can't return.
"To tarry
once more
or jump into
the fray,
into the shadows
of the fallen
before us."
I liked the above lines. Life is like a chess board. We must set-up, attack, defense or run? Nice to rise with the birds and seek safe place. I enjoyed the poem my friend. Made my sleepy mind work. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Hi Coyote. So true and well said. You are very wise. Thank you for sharing and visiting. See you soon.

I wrote about the fray. I have been writing in my dreams, the story "The Island". Three poem about the fray came into my dreams. I liked the poetry that make the reader think. This poem did. You are welcome.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. When you post them, we will read. Thank you again.

[Coyote Poetry]

The book had 11 chapters and I have three poems posted for the fray. This is my now project. I am following Hemingway advice. Finish one project before starting a new one. I have six stories needing endings. I will do one by one. Thank you Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Good job.
More power to you.

[Patricia Wedel]

Very romantic .. flying away in the clouds... blithely...
You are certain to hear the birds chirping in the heavenly heather.
tenderly, Pat

Whoaaa! Love is a treasure, blessings shared within and without, in ourselves and in Nature, on Earth and in the Heavens. You say much and embrace much. Thank you kindly.

[Mauricio Montoya]

you and i, ying and yang and up and down, i like the words you used to bring all this together,, how we see this and the action we take decides the outcome. excellent write

[Sami Khalil]

Hi Mauricio. So true and well said. Thank you so much. Glad you have visited.

[Chris Shaw]

Quite different from you Sami, but the last lines definitely had a romantic feel to them. You and another floating away together. Most uplifting and in blue skies too. Nicely penned and usual with it. All good wishes.

Chris

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! All true and well said. I was in that kind of state experimenting. Thank you so much for the lovely visit. You are always welcome...

[Chris Shaw]

Have a great day.

[Sami Khalil]

You too. Thx

I don't remember ever seeing such a lovely bit of abstract poetry from you! I love this. It has swirls of autumn detritus along with hints of sensuality, when seen from an up-close & sensory point of view. But when considered in symbolic terms, you message speaks to me of two people deciding to "take the plunge" (whatever that means to different people) & how life will splash all around in waves smooth & gnarly, but this is the fun of jumping in together (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love your take on this abstract poem. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. All you said was true. I like to try new things Margie and be an avante garde. You keep us inspired and smiling in these hard times. Thank you kindly.

[Lydia Shutter]

A lovely lilting romantic write, Sami....not the norm from you. The imagery is so lovely. Sure, relationships can be difficult, but they are so worth it. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree Lydia. The message is right on. I tried something different and I'm getting good responses. Thank you so much for the time and visit. I hope all is well in your world...

[Lydia Shutter]

All is well here. Hope you are also doing well, my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

I can hint some romance in this write, this is wonderful

[Sami Khalil]

Hi Just Kim. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the visit. See you soon.

is slow caution in order or an all-in approach? a case of once bitten, twice shy perhaps? nevertheless we must make our way to the goal remembering that it takes two to tango. i really like the wording and flow here. i actually used the word cerulean in a write once. nothing lighthearted here, deep and telling ... :)

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. What a true and wonderful review. Glad you liked this poem and you used that word before.

[Sami Khalil]

Thank you so much sir Pete...

[Vari]

Interesting and on the same audacious! You gave multiple hint but what I got as a gist no cage can torn the lover's page. If I want to live my life with someone nothing can stop me quite daring and thrilling. Contrary what I felt is the character of lover want to start fresh keeping the past sorrow as lesson and broken feeling as sword to shield against the materialistic world harsh revolt. Rest summarizing all, beautiful and engaging poem with different flavor in the well mannered fashion. Glad that I stopped by reading this masterpiece :)

[Sami Khalil]

Hi Vari. Thank you for this wonderful and extensive review. I'm grateful. Will see you soon.

Life at its more passionate, time at its most precarious ~ perhaps? As ever written with thoughts that belie simple understanding; more thought and a far, far longer pause needed, maybe?

[Sami Khalil]

Whoeee! So true and well observed dear poet and friend. There are indeed those passionate moments and precarious ones as you well said. Life is living in choices and consequences, in maturing and understanding things along the ways and paths, jumping head or feet first. Million thank yous for the gracious review and visit. Be safe and sound...

[emmajoy]

' Life is living in choices and consequences, in maturing and understanding things along the ways and paths, jumping head or feet first. ' So very true, Sami.. my lesson for today. :)

[Sami Khalil]

Whoeeee. Thank you kindly. We learn from each other. You inspired it.

[emmajoy]

Clevah me.. for a change! Off and away into the hurly burly big world now..

[Sami Khalil]

Hehehe......
