Poetria's Creed

behind the words

Spare me,

from humanity greed,

gift me,

a place closer to heaven,

enraptured in the universe's arms  

saved, drifting swiftly 

my being is warm,

I am sprinkling like

the calm raindrops.

release me from

the ground, 

higher the spirit,

though, my soul is wounded

still the brightness of my heart

I will sacrifice,

I have a reserve of Love,

where the fountain of affections

ever pounding,

so when the world falls,

I will birth my throbs

for earth, to rise again.

embrace me,

my faithful entity 

and rescue me

from my raging tides,

I breathed the sigh of divinity 

from His lips, into my roots

a little He knew

a little He knows 

and now I think of me;

who am I?

I am a thought;

a thought that feels

that abounds and sings,

You don't have to like my words

or understand,

and how many still are there

dreaming to print my heart,

to affect You 

to impress You

how many verses still are there 

to love You.

when I am floated away,

read me again

and leave heavens

to shed my prayers,

then, emerge me from joy

in wondrous forms,

and know that love

isn't in the beauty of my words

but love is,

in the thumps taking the lead

of my heart, unto yours

that I am not the dream,

but the reality 

dwells in the miracle of,

your breathing sound.

Good morning my friend,
I decided to go back to the very first poem you submitted on Writerscafe and work my way up with your poems as it appears I have read all the more recent ones.
This one is just as lovely as all the ones I have read of yours.
The way you write has the same underlying tone in all your poems...a real "signature" style of writing..which I love. Like a famous painter when you see his work you know it is him.
So special your words are...
Lisa,
having coffee, on this dark and cold morning here in Spain..now off to practice piano before my lesson at 8am..

Dear Lisa,

your beautiful words are still shining with warmth and generosity as the first time I read them. thank You so much my lovely and sweet friend for giving my poems your time and kindness. I send You many bright stars and blooming flowers of gratitude ❤️

[Neville]

these words still give this old fella one of them lovely tingles one gets when having one of them special moments ................... three years on & they still have the same magic as when first visited :)

[lightsong]

How generous dear Neville, You paint a soft smile on my face this evening. time flies isn't it? and yes I just finished my stretches :>

[M. J. Smith]

A prayer, an invitation, a thousand swirling impressions...
In so few words you conjure a universe of dreams. Is this what being a poet is to you? How it must overwhelm your heart! Such beauty!

[lightsong]

Wow thank You again dear M. J :> yes, I always considered my self not being a "poetess" in the meaning of a "poetess" but rather a composer of the feelings and more... Thank You for getting and feeling it within me. such a compliment *

[M. J. Smith]

Being a poet is a calling to me. At times, there is something sacred in the act of writing a new piece. You are most welcome, my friend.

[lightsong]

a sacred calling... this is an essence of it, for us it's something deep in our inner, precious and wanting to be born, alive and powerful...

[William Michael Reeves]

If we think about the power of words and all that they carry it's overwhelming. You so eloquently wrote about that power that goes straight to our hearts and minds!

[lightsong]

Many thanks both, Bill and William :> kind and wonderful words❤️ Merry Happy Christmas, enjoy your day with hopefully many gifts✨

[William Michael Reeves]

Bill will do Gounwah. Merry Christmas to you too. Wish I had time to read more of everybody. I'll be back

[shadrach hah]

Hi Gounwah, well, I have reached your first write. It is as beautiful as any of the writes that came after. You have always let your heart sing with such perfect emotion and you have done so in this write. You bring out the emotions from your readers by your creativity in the art of poetry. Your gentle grace touches the soul. Your poetry shall ever sing. Your poetry takes the reader so close to Heaven. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Love and Hugs always....Mike.

[lightsong]

and CONGRATULATION! 🥳 LOL = good thing though that I didn't keep the stacks of my poems published because then it will take You TIIIIMMMEE to finish them lol I was here for quite some years and before I was in another poetry site that was closed down. such sweet kindness like always my dear wonderful friend, loving Mike~ and may You always sing in your own heavens ❤️

[shadrach hah]

Hi Gounwah, before coming here I was on another poetry site that closed down also, just out of the blue. Seems to be shutdown for good. Like yourself I have written down many old poems that I hold now in my google docs and documents. I use these when the dreaded block rears its ugly head. I hope that one day you shall start to post some other poetry. Your beautiful songs are always worth the reading for they bring forth such deep emotion. Have a wonderful evening. Love and Hugs always....Mike.

lightsong--
This is one of the most intense and sincere poems I've ever read! There are so many emotions happening at once, yet it doesn't feel crowded or overwhelming. The whole scope from beginning to end makes me feel airborne, defying gravity, skydiving in reverse. And I think I realized one of the things I respect about you the most, your capacity for love, that no matter how painful it is to be alive, ultimately you're empowered by hope. I think that's at the heart of this poem, especially in the loneliest, saddest lines-- hope. Thank you for letting me read this.

Light, love, chocolate-raspberry coffee in spillproof travel mugs,
Seth

[lightsong]

"your capacity for love" and You caught my essence, so now officially You are under my love too :) (wow how safe it feels to say this to a man without him getting me wrong!), really thank You for the heartfelt beautiful review dear Seth, I can feel your emotions and I know already that my poem got You, when I was reading your essay I remembered it even before You using the word (greed).

Morning Coffee Scent "shapeshifting" through air into graceful lights of hope and peace and sweet day to You~✨❤️☕❤️✨

[Patricia Wedel]

This also reminds me of Leonard Cohen---
"and from his lips, he shouted "Hallelujah".
Your poetry takes us where earthly cares are
clouds that dissipate in the early morning rain.
truly, a daily prayer. Pat

[lightsong]

Oh my dear lovely Pat💜 Your heart is beautiful, Your spitit is gentle and kind. Thank You for reading again my humble poem with Your sweet caring. I just noticed we are not friends? I wonder why but I will send You a friend request :)

Stay safe, careful and healthy. lots of Love ❤️❤️♥️

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Light... your pen is dipped in passion
where moments of eternal love have found
a bed of parchment to express undying love and affection.
The aire of February brings scents of love's repose when
heaven knows a Rose is given to place on the pages of
your beloved. truly, Pat

[lightsong]

such a beautiful poetic review from a heart that's with no doubt beautiful as the Sun is, Your words are romantic and gentle like a soft Love's Breeze, I'm grateful for You and Your tenderness upon my page dear Patricia.

[Patricia Wedel]

You are welcome Light... there is an evening Star Venus and when twilight turns to darkness... I sigh and think of all the birds tucked in feathers wait for morning Light when beauty sings and freedom rings.
truly, Pat

[lightsong]

Beauuutiful... for sure, Your heart sings poetry my lovely Patricia 🌷

[R.E. Ray]

I've not read anything this moving in a long time. I find so much genuine humility and love in this poem. But this echoes softly long after reading...

Love
isn't in the beauty of my words
but Love is,
in the thumps taking the lead
of my heart, unto Yours

What I read here is the essence of love, sharing the good and the bad, the dark and the light, the smiles and the tears, as one body and heart.

An exceptional work that it beautifully illustrated.

[lightsong]

thank You so much my friend for these beautiful words of understanding, the last lines of the last verse is my favorite, so I'm glad You chose these lines too, I'm pleased to read Your review today, much appreciated🌸🌸🌸

[Robert Trakofler]

thank you for the enlightenment of your luminosity... so strong are these lines from your heart they shimmer off the screen and into mine as I read them. No finer a result can come from any writing than that. I can say nothing clever or witty about them I cant even speak of the mechanics or style this is just simply a lovely set of lines

[lightsong]

the sincerest thanks go to You my ever wonderful and kind friend, dear Bunny🐰 You always gift me so much in Your reviews, and I can't but send You my truest gratitude, Bless You my fine friend ✨
