You drift across
my sleep~filled eyes
like sunlight filtered
through closed shutters ~
even in Darkness,
your Light
is too bright
to ignore...
You dance within
my beating Heart
& I feel
the rhythm altered ~
you move slowly, sinuously
through my veins
& the heat spreads
from within
this Dream...
You move me
from the Wasteland
to the shoreline ~
I feel the waves
ascending,
then crashing
on the rocks below ~
the tide surges
& I am floating
on the currents
of your Love...

I just love the way you write so beautifully.
This is the kind of poetry that I can aspire to. You are such an inspiration for me to dig down deep, and try to just write what's in my heart. Thank you for blessing us with your words.

I love the way you write, too, Rich...I also love the way you comment, my Friend...
Gorgeous stuff, Scribe...Thank you...

of your Love...
The moon we remembered
pushes us together
in a tide wind few have
discovered since,
and as we touch the
thunder of the wave
quakes the fury in your
firey kiss.
I love the way you write...

I knew a woman like this once. Loved her. Used to lie in bed with the sunlight filtered through shutters and watch her sleep. Used to feel my heart dance with excitement as she lie there breathing, warming the air, her heat spreading like a drea. But that's another storey ...
I love the Wasteland line. TS Eliot would be proud.
Good stuff this is.
-
Splendid job.
I have to say that this is a tasty example of erotica. You did a splendid job with this one. -

Wow! Just wow.
This is that belnding of human and divine love that just lights my heart.

It is much more the purest Passion than lust, Poet...& yes, he was such a figure & we did love with all our Hearts...we lived together for 14 years; he passed away in December 2003...The Love never dies...I'm pleased you enjoyed it...Thanks for following the Path...c'mon by my author's page, anytime...I have a list near the top of my own favorite poems & a list towards the bottom of my favorite AP Poets...I've been at this awhile...Incorrigible Poet on Premises...

Ohh my god, this is the best one I have read tonight!
I love your metaphores, this one was really, really thought out well, and for some reason my mind wanders to lust when I read this arg, silly me! For someone to be such a figure in your life must mean you both really love eachother with all your hearts. Good expression of all that beauty!
-
Hell, I've been lost in your comment the past 5 minutes...hehehe Thank you, Scribe...higher praise could not be had...Hey, you got any brothers??? roflmao I love ya, Muddy...you're such a Poet...Thank you for such a great comment, my Friend...

I agree with everything that everyone else has said, but mostly I agree with James. He did a wonderful job at describing your poetry...
Anyway...I really loved this. Especially those last few lines- they're gorgeous. This poem is soft and smooth, warm and comforting.
Reading your poetry is like walking in a dream. Everything is shimmering and bright and full of love and happiness. You pour your soul into every word you write, and you touch the hearts of anyone who reads your words.
A glorious work of art.

The rumpled sheet background adds to the dreamy waiting this expresses.As if you wait for this love to return to you and the bed you share so willingly.
The picture you chose reminds me of a tarot card in it's mystery and the expression on the fair lady.
You have done a wonderful job in capturing my attention now I am very much interested in seeing your other works -
Breathtaking!
You paint such beauty with the eloquent stroke of your pen. Your soul soars & your heart whispers so sweetly in your divine inspirational writes! -
Exquisite!
This is just exquisite! A breathtaking write! And I must agree with James , there is nothing I can say that he has not covered....I bow to you, and a standing ovation! Just Lovely, Ann
-
excellent
Just a very good poem so well done and a wonderful picture. Thank you Wanda for sharing your poems..You have indeed so much talent, -
I love you, too, James...my very Dear Friend...you most certainly strike me mute with the wonder of your commentary...I always feel a profound sense of awe reading them...then I remember it's addressed to me & I feel weak with Delight & Humility...I cannot deserve such Grandeur...such Beauty...as are your emotionally~charged reviews...I am so pleased that you think so highly of me, my Love...coming from a Poet I deeply admire, that truly means the World to me...I humbly remain, evermore, Your Friend...Wanda

I hope someday to see your poetry in a golden bound book, layed down upon an altar, because your poetry has such heart, such wonder.
You really are like the sun coming through the gray clouds, because you always have a way with making your readers feel much more included in your poems than most poets are able to.
We can sense your emotions, not merely just read them, we can taste, touch, feel and smell the surroundings in your work.
So vivid and completely breathtaking, you are one of the few people whose poetry I can read and never come away disappointed.
You have a fascinating brain and a delicate writers hand.
All your pieces feel like perfectly woven baskets, all different, yet all sharing the same type of splendor, something that makes your work more than just readable again, it makes it something we should all be reading everyday, because maybe it might help us acquire a little more heart and sensitivity to the plights of others.
As always you have left me speechless with so much to say.
I love you dear.
hugs,
James

No, wattle...no other Hearts here, broken or otherwise...just me, awake & alone, in a house with other people who are all sleeping soundly while I am sleepless & restless & writing of all this profound yearning...Thanks for your many kindnesses, my Friend...Glad you like my work as much as you do...quite gratifying...Thanks, wattle...Hope all is well with you... Wanda

Lady Hope - Your writing room must be littered with broken hearts, take from those who climb to your window. Beautiful poem; - soft as silk and warm as a summer breeze - thank you.
