as the dawn now rests and
the eyes of the morning
open, an aviary choir
rejoices in the freshnessand too, your tangerine colored cheeks lying next
to me, eyes that smile matches those of the new day
you walk into the air where
i have breathed
where my whispers were
meant for the windto carry them onto the ripples of the seas
where keels and hulls have sailed long before
your smile convinces me that
your soul understands
of how time through ages
does not erase the wordsby two lovers sharing whispers of how their hearts
will forever ride as white caps o're the waves
and the moon with
nocturnal fingers raises the tide
to quench the thirst of
night time sponges in the skyonly to dispense onto the arid land the tears
of love and lovers who long before and forever will
ride the breathe of lunar winds
Such beautiful, evocative language in this poem, my friend. "my whispers were meant for the breeze"....."the breath of lunar winds...." absolutely beautiful writing!

ReplyDeleteMy first time here Marcoantonio and I thought this was quite captivating - especially liked the notion of: "riding the breath of lunar winds" and especially "tangerine cheeks" lying beside you, first thing in the morning... Perfect! With Best Wishes Scott

ReplyDeleteReally beautiful--I don't know your work--but this was delightful!
ReplyDeleteYou very cleverly wrap the immediate past into the present...like somebody else walking through the air you just breathed ..
ReplyDeleteI often think on that in regard tothe turning of the eath through the atmosphere, when we all pass each other one way or another.
Very accomplished writing.
