Heart quickens, pupils dilate

I want to tell you

just how i feel

what you mean to me

but its impossible, improbable, insane! ,

and fear reins me in

moving an icy finger to my lips

quiet! ; and anyway

how could I ever explain

how I have been touched by your presence

(touched indeed! , the fear mocks)

from such a distance

of age and space

that fate threw between us.

Yet the pull of your virtue transcends all barriers

my heart laid bare, riped from its roots

I give to you; I bleed for you; I will die for you

Passion and yearning cascade

a waterfall of desire

thrashing a fluid frenzied fever

as i gaze

as I have done a thousand times

on your lovely lovely face

innocent lips, mischievous eyes

your image

the most beautiful thing

anywhere you've ever been

a brilliance that blinds my eyes

yet cleanses my soul.

Your ink finds heart upon the wings of pages flying in tomorrow's sun....I enjoy the way you speak from 'within'......I could hear the whispers of each ink drop...and you've taken my breath away in this gorgeous spill that wraps around the heart and soul in satin whispers, so beautifully written....the heart sighs...softly....

O that is such a poetic review, much more so than the poem that inspired it

[Emberlorna]

Wow..lovely imagery and descriptive.. The words appear to slip in next to each other effortlessly ... making the scene and the mood come alive in a flash and linger on. An excellent write...

[Pól]

thank you, Emberlorna

[Ghost of Jupiter]

what a confession of desire and emotion for another...feelings that you don't know for certain are mutual...the things desire can do to a soul, I can completely relate. Wonderful write sir!
