Poetria's Creed

Behind the Words...

Spare me,

from humanity's greed,

gift me,

a place closer to heaven,

enraptured in the universe's arms  

saved, drifting swiftly 

My being is warm,

I'm 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'm 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'm 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'm not the dream,

but the reality 

dwells in the miracle of,

Your breathing sound.

Behind the words indeed. I really enjoyed the flow of this piece, which looks beyond the words and what they say about us. No matter the words, we only see an imprint of the person behind them, when they are infinitely more than the brief moments we feel your words.
I think we have grown so used to instant gratification, that it is almost impossible for anyone to have time to see what is behind the pen.
Pity really. We never learn.
Beautifully penned, thought provoking write.

[Light🌟]

Thank You Lorry for Your wonderful thoughts here, I agree with You about the instant gratification (clever expression), it's a faded one too, for my own self I try my best through my reviews put lots into them from my thoughts and feelings, and all of them are about what I "feel" while reading the poem, I think I'm good at reading behind the words :)

I'm most grateful for Your time and visit.

[Lorry]

My pleasure.

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

[Light🌟]

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

[Light🌟]

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

[Light🌟]

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.

[Light🌟]

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

[Light🌟]

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 ✨

mwahvelous education i have received in just the title Light!... thank you!! i had not idea there was such a movement way back when to define and use "perceptive grammar" ... where oh where do you go on your days off ;)))))))))))))))) love this:
'Im sprinkling like
the calm raindrops." .."my faithful entity" ... interesting word choice (entity) my friend .. the setting is intimate but is distant as well ...really like the "....reserve of love" ... so uplifting in what can be a difficult world .. we can "hang in there" ... we can "stand it" ;) i think there is so much great stuff in your poem ...religion, spirituality, philosophy .."..I'm a thought" ..aint it the truth! a simple and profound acceptance ... i only imagine how much has been written on consciousness .. and where it comes from .. and then the poetess speaks ...abstract is always risky .. dances between too much and not understandable at all ... and not enough to where intent is clearly defined and does not allow one to imagine more ... and of course i really like how you close it all up with our oneness .. in love itself .. and how it is not only possible but a reality ... read this several times ... each time a nugget leaped at me ... very stimulating, thought provoking poem says i!

[kitty]

What a wonderful heartfelt piece, delivered so sincerely, little butterfly. I could feel the warmth and intensity with which these words were written. You shine with every passionate word you place on page. A re read is sure but I must applaud your genius...again

[Light🌟]

[kitty]

My pleasure always!

[barleygirl]

Your poem is incredibly lyrical & heartfelt, like a melody for one's divine leader. The part of your message that appeals to me is toward the beginning, as you describe "surrender" in terms that could be about leaving this planet in the flesh . . . or it could be about learning to let go of the earthly drudgery that gets us all down from time to time & learning to soar above it all. My only slight dip in interest came during the last stanza . . . I'm not a big fan of generalized love expressions in poetry, so I sorta drifted off at that point, where your message felt a teensy bit less fresh & inventive (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Tahsin.Z🍁]

I've to say....This kind of poetry is one of my faves! Smooth, coaxing, love filled and always provides an amazing read...
The thing I love the most here is you were not lost in imagination but sticking at realism...thanks for this wonderful read dear Light angel! **Love and hugs** ♡♡

[Light🌟]

[Tahsin.Z🍁]

You are!😘

[Light🌟]

😍😊🤗😘😘❤️️💗❤️️

[Crowley]

When you talk about love lock stock and barrel, these words would be just that. "How many verses are there to love You", I would guess that would be as many as it takes to describe every grain of sand in the ocean and on the beaches until one grows tired. Full of emotion and romance...loved it!

[Light🌟]

sweet how You say it my friend, yes... they would be countless, endless... as long as the heart beats, even if they weren't written, they are deep inside somewhere...

Thank You so much for taking the time to read and to leave me Your thought, I'm very grateful dear Crowley.

[DarkMist]

This has become one of my favorite poems from you... It's sweet yet dark, simple yet profound... Simply love the way you craft your lines

[Light🌟]

Thank You my friend for Your lovely words and much appreciated compliment, Your visit means a lot :).

[DarkMist]

It is entirely my pleasure :)
