The Perfect Stream

As wishes took their place

Curving on the meander 

Two thoughts sat in harmony

Telling the light to bend

On every moment of peace

Stars seemed to be that much closer

Lids fell in may

Budding the fruit of September

The man stood by a fork

Division of life before him

A task of looming tune

Tanned the side of his soul

Knowing a heart so familiar

In poetry or in prose

He wrote a story of love

Held in mesh dug in sand

Dreaming away tonight

He lit his lantern of hope

Listing all his desires

Placing them in her through thought

She heard of life in him

I guess roaming 

Left open

Or tucked into his grove

it is so nice to see couplets written .. before even reading i have an impression of concise deliberate word choices ..there is comfort in the stability ..this is my favorite ..love it i do! :
"A task of looming tune
Tanned the side of his soul" ...
the pic reminds me of a stream i hiked up in Colorado ... in the 60's :)
your closing is very interesting ... tough decisions to be made .. i think he's the traveling man .. all wrapped up in love ..and she ... left with a decision of her own .. the power of poetry (one aspect) is that the sensitive reader does "get to know" the author in bits and pieces ..here and there ... almost intimately ... we do spill our guts at times eh!? really like those lines i quoted of yours!!

This is a lovely poem. The photo is well chosen. I love the blending of nature and the human condition. When it comes to a fork in the stream of our lives, we do not have the luxury that water has, we must pick and hope and believe we took the right path. Thank you for sharing this writing.

Well done.

It reminds me of the way Jim Morrison used to write. He was a poet before "The Doors"

Wow.
This is stellar work. You are very interesting & unique yourself. I'm really becoming a fan of your work. It leaves me feeling as if I am at an orchestral concert or something. It also leaves me feeling comforted, with thoughts that others are lost -- together -- in this "maze" of life.

I wish I saw your style more often, but I am glad I get to experience it through your works.
