Exhaled as Poetry

I feel your tenderness underneath my bare feet;
see my face as a reflection
of a flame, in your eyes.  
One thousand teardrops
fell from your heart,
love swallowed each one.
Tasting comfort inside a smile,
a heart grows fond of drinking
love’s replies.

Your words fall as leaves
into the river of my heart‘s desire,
come to life
as I exhale them as poetry.
Each breath I take
rises against another,
creating feelings inside my heart,
ringing in tones that listen to each thought;
bringing such a lovely peace
to me.

I am embraced by breezes
stirred from a lasting love
that has grown strong like an oak tree,
it bends but never breaks.
Love now sails as notes
pouring from my lips.
My heart leaps with joy
and sings replies perhaps unheard,
but felt with each breath
I take.

I bet they hear them as well...how could they not?

Your words fall as leaves into the river of my heart's desire ~ this is not just a beautiful metaphor but also a tender image of how one can so affect another with nothing more than a simple I love you. This is a wonderful naturally inspired piece that makes one sigh at the ending ~ but felt with each breath I take ~ as is not the words we seek always found within the silence. Keep em' coming

lasting love is amazing feeling. Love that can withstand hardships and many other things is a great feeling. It is the strength in the fact that both people love each other to walk through the unpleasant moments together hand in hand and make the love and relationship work. I love the reference of the leaves in this piece.

[SpokenWord]

Neva, I am really enjoying your recent writes they are about love but with a lot of passion and desires written so poetically and beautifully. I can relate to this one when I get full of love and it breaches my pen or my breath and pours out into reality in poetic versus that seem to sing the sweetest melodies to anyone who dares to listen. This write was just sweet as sweet and sensual can be.
