She Is Most Lovely


 
 
 
 
 
my arms rise

like long sad snails
my arms rose

naked I was
tender wind followed the wise jet streams
baby birds squealed first light

I, bursted, grasped rode the goatlike gallop of light 
from the other side of the mountains
across
their black zag

my arms bent starlit behind skies

I have no language to blind my beloved by
I have no charm to deafen me
  to an inner note I was born to give away

the snowflakes shall fall soon
Spring shall be panther winds pouncing
      and outlaw wildflowers will remember how I walked 
  with you
their children will moan like the blood of buffalo 
in the heart of song maddened bluebird gods
revving the sun crazy through dawn

           like grinning schooner sails
                                   my arms rise, am tidal naked
                        in your meadows, 
               to capture the heart of a bird in flight
                    my arms rise

my arms rise

    I am sure your baby just loves when you read such things to her. Very lovely indeed.

    Wow, this is so beautifully written.
    Each line is elegantly pieced together, the words so descriptive, I can see the love in this poem.
    The nature used in this poem also really allows the reader to visualize the words, and to see her beauty.
    I really liked the repetition at the end too.

    I hope to read lots more!!

    *gaspednesses* You was nekked??? "I have no language to blind my beloved by" - Ohhh, I don't know about that, Mister.
    I often feel as though I may need new trifocals after perusing your pages. I especially love the ending, as you mention the meadows you claim I smell like (even without perfume) and capturing the heart of a bird in flight, which you have done, and did, and still do on a daily basis. This is beauty-full, my Baby Baby. Thank you, Mister.

    I love you, Danny.

    this is brilliant!! you paint such beautiful pictures yet always with a melancholy echo. you have a unique and powerful style, my cup runneth over!!. i must find out more of your publications as your style and voice would sit comfortably in the pantheon of my favourites. please let me know where i can buy your works as this is a style epiphonous in nature to me.
