Love Looked at Me and Laughed and other poems - 4. like hope begging to dream

.

Poem No. 7

 

I want to be

what I see reflected

in your eyes.

 

 

 

Poem No. 8

 

Prelude:

 

I love you as the

Morning loves the Night

as Earth loves the Rain

as Birds love their Flight

 

I want my words

to be like daggers through your heart

I want each one

to kill the person you once were

to be replaced

with the one who only loves me more

 

For I love you as the

Seaside loves the Sea

as Snow loves the Cold;

like joining Lovers at parting

Like Hope begging to Dream

 

I love you as all of these

love me.

 

 

Poem:

 

There in your dulcet kiss

I search for the Never

hoping I do not miss

your taste of Forever

 

 

 

Poem No. 9

 

Sweet Murderer of my heart

Kind kidnapper of my senses

My only wish is that you never return

That which you took.

Poem no. 9. Seems to be filled with heartache. Just reading it, is making the eyes misty.

Oh, my God, A. I wish I could give you both a 'love' and a 'sad' at the same time. 

 

Instead, I will give you a hug :hug:

 

Thank you for reading ❤️

This is a wonderful example of how poetry speaks to us differently.  Where A sees heartbreak, I see someone who’s so consumed by/with love, totally gone for the other person, they never want that feeling to end.

In any event, a brilliant set, as always AC.. xo

Thank I was taken immediately by Poem 7. Poems 7 and 8 pull me upward, as the sun warmed air lifts a drifting bit of down, or lets a bird soar. But number 9 brings be back to earth, as rain falls under grey skies, or tears in a dark room. And now I am sad with you.

Thank you, dear @Parker Owens! These comments are beautiful poetry in their own right. It's always wonderful to know you are reading and thinking about my poems :)

Thank you for your beautiful comments, Tim. No. 7 I chose to use as the book's epigraph; so I feel its specialness too :)
