To reach the Sun

Wrapped with the light
and folded like sleepy petals
I compound your touches
one by one
with kisses.
I collect the dew to wash my face
and the face of morning
starts to bloom
when you gather pieces of the moon
from my eyes
and scatter them
on the book of your palm.
You teach me to read
unwritten sonnets,
to listen to uncomposed melodies,
to see an undrawn masterpiece on an empty canvas
and to fly free without wings.
You give me something to believe in,
and I reach for the Sun
with you.

    A Precious and Divine ...

    a poem written from a gentle heart ...

    What I so love about your poetry, is the freshness of imagery, the truly imaginative expressions, so well demonstrated in the following lines:

    You teach me to read
    unwritten sonnets,
    to listen to uncomposed melodies,
    to see an undrawn masterpiece on an empty canvas
    and to fly free without wings.


    It is simply brilliant in the possibility of a myriad of meanings: leaving the soul free to create impromptu that silent poem between the lines; that unheard melody sung ever new; that work of art drawn by immediacy of imgagination ...

    I should read you more. You are truly inspiring and so very gentle.

    Love
    Myra

    "the book of your palm."

    I love that; that is indeed one book one will never want to stop reading. Loved the light here in this poem - and of course, the love. A beautiful, soft and romantic page out of your book of love.
