Extraordinary Lovers

Extraordinary Lovers

A Poem by Nina Burke

The

Lovers of artist

Lovers of writers

Lovers of soldiers

Lovers of fighters

At night your hearts are frozen in frost

You feel worthy of more but banish the thoughts

You're an extraordinary lover

Cradled by your tears you fall asleep

When you awake the water is deep

Your permeable souls don't drown in sorrow

You live the lives of tomorrow and extraordinary lovers

The artist demand inclines

The writers wandering mind

The soldiers limited time

The fighters protecting the blind

When the season rush subdues

All they have is you and an extraordinary lover

it is really hard..sometimes i say, to be always single is better than to be single for some time..
This is really nicely concieved. It could be about anyone of those mentioned, or all people in general, who we only get to see a fleeting glimpse of their story. What lies beneath those glimpses is such complex lives we rarely get to know about. Or I could be completely wrong :-)

I simply love this and think you could pump a poem out about a writer's wandering mind standing alone. Wow, kick a*s and I enjoyed.

Thank you and great idea!!
I like that you used very simple vocabulary and concrete logic to weave this tapestry that pictures the exceptional experience of knowing a lover.
Wonderfully accomplished the titles promise.
