contest entry: (O Desire)

Missing image
When our eyes meet,
there will be dancing
in silence ~

Music will not be needed,
for we won't hear anything
over the staccato rhythm
of our hearts...

Shadows will move
into sunlight
unnoticed ~

the stars may fall
while the moon wanes
& we would not see...

There is an intensity
defined by awe
when spirits meet
in recognition ~

The world spins
out of control,
unaware...

As you walk towards me,
eyes blazing
with Knowledge,

there is a low moan
that begins
in my Soul
& ends on my lips ~

I've been waiting...

    the death of the senses while in a senseless world loves and lovers create definitions of their own - for sight, hearing, beauty surrounding and beauty internal. this is what you call Knowledge, the way i see and understand it. and when a moan transcends fom immaterial to material, from bodyless to bodyfull - is when you know you accepted the newly created reality. beautiful poetry.

    I feel it was penned for you and me alone. I want to take it as my own, as OUR own, and never let it go.

    the world of man is always spinning out of control...and anaware...because it does not hear "the low moan that begins in its soul and ends on its lips"...nor does it quiver at the tought of stopping for a moment...just to catch a breath of wind spoken to an aging poet...but I do...

    Thank you, Liz...This is still one of my own favorites, simply because it was more passionate than I was accustomed to writing...& I've always believed that rather than merely 'making love', we should be creating it...Many of my poems are drawn from memories of my late sweetheart...True love never dies...Thank you for reading me so well, my Friend... Wanda

    You were right, Wanda. I DO like this one very much. I love the musical reference and, again, I like the idea of the moan within the soul. It amazes me how you capture the idea of being in love so well. You are such an incredible writer. THank you for sharing your talents.

    So Breathtaking!!!

    Wanda, Another beautiful love poem from your pen. A soulmate is the best. I feel blessed to have found mine and would be destroyed if I lost him. Your words always fill the mind with such vivid images and portraits just like the one you used here. Thank you for sharing another work of art with all of us.
    Love and blessings to you. Joyce

    Let me say that again... !!! WOW! Breathtakingly stunning {Worries whether she can use those two words together in proper english... } Swanee, this is one of the best you've done in at least a day The emotion in this is passionately strong, yet overflows with grace and class. Your word choices are wonderful, and reflect such depth of feeling. The flow is perfectly smooth. Such a powerful, and beautiful opening stanza. You 'feel' the words right away. But, the ending is my fav!

    As you walk towards me,
    eyes blazing
    with Knowledge,

    there is a low moan
    that begins
    in my Soul
    & ends on my lips ~

    I've been waiting...

    Such infinite beauty in these words, and it leaves you hanging within the experience you so aptly portray. Marvelous write, Wander. One of my favs by you. Exquisite.

    Very nice...I could feel the vibrations in this line

    "there is a low moan
    that begins
    in my Soul
    & ends on my lips ~"

    It's a shame so many people try to force love for the real thing is way more enjoyable...

    Hugs...Eddy

    Living for love not being in love...what a difference between
    these two...

    Wanda, it was beautiful. You have captured a ideal that I have always toyed with and love, the dancing by heartbeat rhythm. alone this made the image carry forth and the poem enjoyable.

    This piece is so very special; how our lives should be filled.

    Wow this is really good.
    "Music will not be needed,
    for we couldn't hear anything
    over the staccato rhythm
    of our Hearts..."
    Talk about passion! You managed to jump right over the cliches of "I love you I couldn't live without you" into something deeper. Great job with that, it's more than I can do!
