A Heaven Born of Words

Winding roads envelop mornings
changing how I feel
as the sun rises
over half a million faces
all aglow.  
The air bears the scent of flowers
like those I have seen
within blue flames of truth
on the horizon of nothing more
than how your presence
seeks my attention
like falling snow.

I feel my pulse expanding
and I grow weak
as my skin glows soft
like poems
that have kissed the roses
around my thorns,
and my soul keeps the best of you
in my hands.  
My joy crashes
against  sands pure as thoughts
of the wildest forest
embracing its own lands.

Your voice finds me
with an understanding
that springs into my mind
making the ground I walk on
become a heaven
born of words.
I smile secretly, as if I  have begun
to read something
living inside a storm
rushing to be let in
and dancing on paper
to be heard.

Half a million faces
and all I see is yours,
telling me
I am the treasure you find
on those winding roads.
The air bears the scent of flowers
from fields
that continue to live
throughout the winter
warmed by blue flames of truth,
seeking my attention
like falling snow.

Hi Neva, this poem has it all .. the form, the rhythm, flow, meter, all those 'technical terms' and one with a knowledge of how to write a poem properly could write a poem with all that is needed to write a proper poem.. but they could not put such feelings as these into words that make one feel so deeply.
From the heart is this poem, and a beautiful heart the poet has.

[Coyote Poetry]

Such strength and story in your poetry. I had to read a few times to feel the complete desire and the emotion of this poem. No weakness in your words. Just a roller coaster ride into thoughts. A excellent poem.

You just have this style down to perfection..you know how to phrase a line so it buries itself deep into ones flesh..there is pure romance oozing from each line..as if love has no beginning and no end...well actually it has..you just know how to harness it into words..
