Heartstrings

Two threads...

I cannot find words
For they are too few and too many
Afraid to speak of either
Should the words be riddled with grief
With longing, with sweet despair
To embrace the one
Who so effortlessly lures tears to my eyes
She, this rare, beautiful, magnificient creature
Who has strummed the chords of my soul
With romantic sentiments of her own
She, who has tied a string about my heart
Golden and thin and tightly woven
A string she plucks between delicate fingertips
As if the innocent stroke could will a honeyed song
Fearing that should I lose her
That gold thread knotted to my very spirit
Would snap and all the world crumble
A slow, merciless, inward bleed that not only I will feel
For I have tied a similiar string about her heart
And have braided such a string throughout my own
Thinking of those calling waters
Which have summoned my feet upon lovely, coinciding shores
To take the outstretched hand of my likeness, my equal
To walk about a dream unexpectedly conjoined
Such blissful reverie which had ended too soon
For a transfixed soul that craves a lifetime
Hope which has placed a trembling, needing hand
Onto that string together spellbound to our hearts
No longer frightened to pull

A beautiful image of strings tied together, of two kindred souls embracing, soothing and arousing each other with sweet words that charm and stroke. 'Rare' indeed, 'delicate', 'honeyed song', 'blissful reverie', 'craves a lifetime', 'spellbound' - just a few of the words that convey the delight of two kindred spirits summoned to share the shores of an boundless ocean.

This writing is exquisite... the flow, the melody, the emotion stirred me deeply. I was aroused by the sheer contemplation such wondrous feelings... creating a sweet tumescence.

Priceless!!!

As I read this poem a deep emotional wave passed through my heart, it is a very touching write with a melancholic feel in it that reaches the deepest cores of the heart of a reader, and right now I do have much words to say other than saying unbelievable...

As the poem started I felt like the speaker speaking these emotional melancholic words with a sweet melody that hits very touchingly to the heart... What a beautiful write...

Sincerely

So pleased to have touched you, sweet one! So encouraging you are. And all I can think to do is return the abundance of love in kind. Thank you so much!

This made me feel so weak and helpless , and i loved that feeling. I felt it briefly, now my only regret is that i cant always feel it. The feelin of being held by a thin means between myself and a lover just riddles me exciting. The tension in this piece is explicit. The subtle but serene romance makes the tugging beautiful. Outside issues are also present and puzzle perfect. B r a v o!

[Beautiful Intentions]

Aww, Dalton. I am elated to hear you had loved the sensations of this piece. I, too, wish to feel this always. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and wonderful review, my dear friend.
