Exhaled as Poetry

Exhaled as Poetry

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

Your words fall as leaves into the river of my heart‘s desire, come to life as I exhale them 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?

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."

love poetry normally repels me, but you have a skill with words that defies expectation each, and every time. Here the emotions are alive and vibrant, lifting my soul. Rather than repel, it draws

So beautiful, and the picture fits it so well. I love the imagery of "poetry falling from the lips." Absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of petals in springtime raining down from the trees.

"Tasting comfort inside a smile,

is my favorite part of this. It says so much in such a short amount of words. I also love the last stanza
