You see this part of me - this form,
a vision; face and mouth.
Yet, only from these lips is heard
the skin of voice sung free.
Soft spoken as life smiles, unfurls
relentless in the truths it speaks
and we so deaf,
this human race,
to only hear one line.
There is much more to me than life,
much more than matted hair and bone!
I am but spirit soaring high
and laughing with the moon.
My ears are flesh, yet listen well
my heart pounds physical within
life caters in its balancing
that I would dance its tune.
Yet candlelight in twinkled eye
would rest soft moon-glow at your feet
soft images as gifts for thee
add splendor as we meet.
It would be more than I could ask
much less than I should force to give
these waters pressed in rapid fall
hard carried and unbound.
And still,
your touch and gentle hand
held out with care to touch my own
means more to me than light of day
or any trek unknown.

Beauty in your words and thoughts...lovely soft flow and meaning...wonderment found in spirits that share moment only theirs...what is lovelier...so few thing...yet your words are...
Soft and sweet.

As your heart 'dances' to this tune so does the reader. Almost whimsical, this poem possesses beauty and depth. Your imagery is eloquent and I think this is done very well!

Not bad ...
although that inverted line rather threw me off for a bit. All in all, a good job.

Nicely written,
"And still,
your touch and gentle hand
held out with care to touch my own
means more to me than light of day
or any trek unknown."
loved the final stanza. Good luck in the contest and keep writing.

I sigh...
because you have caused my heart to stop and watch happiness for this moment. It is so enthralling to see two hearts together.
Once again you have captured the essence of the feeling in your poetic words.
