Love…
…is a morning bird
calling in the deepest night
for the light stolen by the night,
hidden near or in a faraway ray of sun.
A feeling bold and shy that consumes and gives,
a kiss from a stranger in shadows, yet I know it well, as
Love
…came in a moment of calm and quiet
like a sip of sweet wine, that pleased the lips
and held the tongue in a spell.
A magical instant that appeared from nothing,
except the wishes of a heart. A room full of treasure,
and the courage to open a door
to Love.

This is gorgeous...the allusive... the attainable... all packaged here in beautiful imagery and language. I particularly enjoyed the idea of love and magic... appearing from nothing except a wishful heart....wonderful!

Lovely poetry, strong ideas presented in metaphor and imagery. Love is the morning bird... brings a picture to mind, calling to bring dawn, new day, a feeling recognized for its authentic moments; and the second part has rich image filled verses: wine and magic, so memorable. The idea of strength, so real to life there are many risks for the great reward of love. Excellent. Thank you for entering this beautiful poetry in this contest...PK

Surrounded by treasure
but having the insinct,
the will to open the door.
Ah, sweet contrasts,
the morning bird calling in the night,
and "A feeling bold and shy ..."
Wonderful, the piece
and wonderful to read new words
from you again!!
Take care, dear Mari,

Look who is writing again!
…is a morning bird
calling in the deepest night
The contrast I take to imply that longing, that need...it surely creates that lonely image. And of course it also shows that beauty and light you go on to mention, that special search.
I will shut up now. Less is usually more where I am concerned. It is lovely.
