~In the Quiet Between Words~




I want you to read my thoughts
in the quiet between words.
Stare deeply into my eyes,
and understand
my each unspoken need
to wash away the past pain.
Soothe my aching essence
through a fleeting
glimpse or glance;
across a room, only us,
locked in a moment together.



Over candlelit dreams
and silent conversations,
I discover the truth, the cause,
for the serenity
of my spirit.
You are the reflection
of my purpose, 
my absolute reason for being.



In the breathless beat
of our hearts,
when our bodies join
in synchronized love,
the promise of eternity
lingers in my memory,
the passionate pleasure of touch
hesitates between my thighs.



I know that I’m finding fate,
for I have captured my soul mate.
My destiny’s desire
is within reach,
simply by lying
safely wrapped in your arms.


 

Author notes

I was inspired by the second stanza and once again, your user name.

Love's Beautiful Lament by FindingFate

If I told you I loved you in moments
and in impressions of a beating heart,
could we laugh and linger in love's
beautiful lament?

What if I said I loved you in the quiet
between words and the hush of anxiety
when you enter a room; and what if I said
I loved you more than I have any right too?

You are the sweet of my dreams, the warmth
of my every breath, and the song of my soul.
I inhale the serenity of our serenade in
tender notes of nirvana.

I love you without assumption, thought
or fear; without the dread of destiny
and a thousand and one hopes and dreams
broken in bitter memories of past.

You are all I care to know, to learn
to live. I wish to seep into the center
of you, sow my seeds upon your lands
and root myself there in honest intention.

I love you without condition or care
of consequence. I love you with a sense
and a purpose of this life and the next;
I love you simply because it's all I know to do.

    I loved reading this poem!It's clear and direct, but beautiful and sweet also. It's something anyone can relate their own emotions about love to, but it is specific enough it's so true, so vivid. Great job!

    *sigh* This is so beautiful, such a wonderful love poem.

    I like this stanza the best:

    You are all I care to know, to learn
    to live. I wish to seep into the center
    of you, sow my seeds upon your lands
    and root myself there in honest intention.

    A very good free verse, it flows effortlessly from stanza to stanza, as the theme of love grows more and more.

    Good luck in the contest!
