Call to Thought

 

Distant voices

Haunted thought

Happiness fades

Innocence is sought

 

Light of the candle

Heat of the flame

Keeper of my heart

My soul yours to tame

 

Whisper of the wind

Calls out its tale

Dogs of the night

Let out their lonely wail

 

Time has no limit

Silence rules

The world…

Chosen this one from your collection at random. A really good piece of work.
Just a little concerned about the Keeper of my . . . (the two lines) I feel that this introduces another human party into it; this reduces the poem's universality and so makes us, the readers, outsiders rather than sharers. It is hard to think that the poet is talking to some Geatic presence. Sharers are what we are in all of the rest of the poem except for these two lines. Perhaps keeper et. should form another sort of poem?
Some might argue that it introduces a romantic element into an otherwise existential poem. (That is quicker)
Just a thought.
Any Haiku lying around?

Such beautiful glimpses of the world in each line. There is a sense of sacred nightfall, sensual moments, depth of thought and profound reflection. So well done!

Tigra,
This is what I call a "Sigh read". Read with the hint of a whisper, and it is dreamy, lovely and so satisfying. You have a wonderful way of reaching in and bringing out the interior of your soul. Few can do that. They skate the edge, but never the interior. Another wonderful piece. *Sigh*

This has a lovely rhyme and flow. It is intriguing and open to interpretation. Hard to choose a favorite line or verse as it blends so well together and also, I think depends on my mood when I read it. Thanks for sharing.
