SWEET DESIRES
Folder:
Passion I saw the tree,
And I wanted to climb it
Through fresh green leaves,
Brushing the heart of the wren,
Higher than high -
All the way, right to the top.
I saw the rose,
And I wanted to breathe it,
So deep within -
My senses reeling with red.
Pulsing velvet
Intensify my senses,
Filling me up with great joy.
I saw the sea,
And I wanted to swim it
All the way down -
Dancing with gentle dolphins
In Atlantis.
Drinking tea with Lord Triton
Floating freely without care.
I saw the wine,
And I wanted to drink it,
Sipping slowly
To call forth all the blessings
Of Bacchanal.
Kissed by the warmth of the day
Sweet and heady with the fruit.
I saw the sky,
And I wanted to reach it,
Soar with the eagles,
Drift lazily among clouds -
Gossamer fluff.
Swinging by the polished stars -
Caress the face of Venus
I saw your love,
And I wanted to share it,
Holding you close
Protected by loving arms
Away from harm,
Safe beside me in the night
And this, for your love, I did.
Superb!
Superb!

Great poem of yearning, desires, and conquering. You showed your zest for life and obtaining all of it's wonderful gifts. Your images were vivid as were your emotions and just when I thought it couldn't get any more perfect you proved me wrong. God bless you and take care.
I am not going to be trite and reel off some quick lines, nor am I going to labour on about meter and form.
There is only one line that I can utter - "a stunningly beautiful piece."
Simply Superb, (Ok, that was two).

HMMMMMMMMM! This one blew my little
mind away. What an enchanting piece
of a brilliant and bountiful ballad
you've created, Amy!
I am truely, simply enchanted by
the rhythmic movement of each stanza.
And in particular, I am inspiringly
captured by the stanza:
I saw the sky,
And I wanted to reach it,
Soar with the eagles...
And also the sea stanza is touchingly
beautiful; and all others.
I'll just have to place this poem
on a corner of my desk where I can
see it everyday. The metaphors are
strikingly disarmingly indeed.
One poem I will surely dwell
on for years to come!
What an enchantingly bountiful
poem, Amy!!
With every beautiful wish:
