My arms,
open wide wings
at the end of the day
and I,
I am just looking for your hug.
The sun, like an open peach,
is offering me solace
replacing your kiss,
like an ultimate grace.
Birds of glass
swelled with first stellar light
dance in the air,
collecting the last drops of gold before the summer's night.
From the crystal wings of a sun catcher
slowly settling on my palm,
sunbeams, like soft feathers,
silent messengers with no letters
touch my fingers with a kiss of plume
caressing me with gossamer perfume.
My gaze upon the horizon, looking for a memory of Almagest,
stars follow their way like a bird to its nest
upon the crowns of trees in sway
to carry all this love your way.

words from the mirage of fairylands and words from the reality of lovelands, and a blind dedication to, belief in, trust in beauty and warmth and tenderness. like copper laced with silver laced with gold laced with fluttering silk ribbons looking for their kite. magnificent.

so pretty
You find the best images for these emotions, and you leave me wishing for that kind of perception. "sunbeams, like soft feathers" tickles me, and you have drawn a lovely scene to send over the trees. Separations are not what we like, but the poetry is a consolation.

Yes, poetry and writing are a very important parts of my life. All kinds of life's experience allowed me to write this way. And of course, love.

This has a lightness of tone and is full of creative imagery. You create a fine tapestry of words and I liked the mix of rhyme and modern verse. This poem shows your ability to write sophisticated poetry. The metaphors you choose are always unexpected and orginal. I liked your choice of language in this poem.

Yes, you are right. I am writing from the heart and this is what came out. Sometimes I am adding rhyme because I feel its rhytm and music, sometimes my words fly free as a birds. I am so glad that you like it.

This is a beautiful and a wonderful thoughtful poem to read
This show love, class, grace and most of all the caring of a love that need to be pick up and held tight so not to drop it for the fragil glass will scatter if it does. Hold it and mold it and shape it to be the love you want it to be and then sit it somewhere where the sun light, moonlight and the fire from the fireplace can show the beauty of what you have achive for the love of your life. That what make this poem so beautiful
Love you much My dear sister
Your sister in peace and love of god and he shall protect you always
Morningstar she is back.
