To Dawn

by gracey grey   Mar 3, 2011


'neath the willow by the star studded lake
overlooking deep mountain flickering
and leaves sway to tender caress
is where you will find me
wrapped in the comfort of gentle moaning breeze
while I wait
strapped to soft virgin grass in remeniscence.

For to yearn must have an end
an aftertaste of nectar pure, divine.

Remnants of ember shall ignite
moon-beam in my eyes to reflect
when I feel your lips on mine.

    Interesting, nicely worded. It was very descriptive.
    It is short but you made it worth reading. It also flowed good.

    I gave it a 5/5

    Wow!
    This poem is overflowing with tender images and deep emotions. I like the way you've structured your thoughts, and the content was very enticing.
    Throughout the lines, you make the reader ponder thoroughly as one can delve promptly into the very light, bright, and whimsical atmosphere you've flawlessly created.
    The intermixing of nature elements with the love situation was magnificently managed. And the wording was penned! The soft pace gave way to artistic perfection as one can hear a Mozart symphony, literally, when carefully reading the verses.

    I ADORE poems which start with a preposition! I think it's quite attractive, and you've made an awesome job using the metaphors..

    "strapped to soft virgin grass in reminiscence." ^ this was my favorite verse - a real poetic image!

    The closing also was so strong and empowering!

    A very very very good, brilliantly excellent job.

    5/5 !! =D

    Beautiful piece though I would like to point out some misspelled words.

    overlooking deep mountain flickeriing
    ^ flickering

    strapped to soft virgin grass in remenicence.
    ^reminiscence

    I bet they were unintended but it's always better to correct them :)

    This is one of those poems that wash over you and seep into your mind, rather like relaxing into a hot radox bath.

    'neath the willow by the star studded lake
    ^
    The abbreviation is a sweet way to start, followed by a wonderful image. A late summers eve (perhaps) a clear sky mirrored in a still lake.

    overlooking deep mountain flickeriing
    ^
    this is an interesting description of a mountain 'deep and flickering' To me this suggests an important presence, fading perhaps due to the flickering?

    and leaves sway to tender caress
    ^
    Beautiful, I love the way the sounds of 'leaves into sway and then the beat of 'tender and caress' Also the imagery of fingers stroking back and forth like a tree branch in a breeze.

    is where you will find me
    ^
    Love symbolised in natures breath - that is where shared love dances free in a timeless waltz.

    wrapped in the comfort of gentle moaning breeze
    ^
    The best gifts are made perfect with the wrappings of love.

    while I wait
    strapped to soft virgin grass in reminiscence.
    ^
    Here I find myself travelling to a time where romance occurred. The use of the word 'strapped' suggests to me roughness, forced perhaps?

    For to yearn must have an end
    an aftertaste of nectar pure, divine.
    ^
    As mentioned before, this couplet stands alone and rightly so. Describing the longing for more as an exquisite aftertaste is perfectly splendid.

    Remnants of ember shall ignite
    moon-beam in my eyes to reflect
    when I feel your lips on mine.
    ^
    From vivid memories of physical love, merging to nature's similes and finally to a blissful moment that is lost in time forever.

    Reading this wonderful poem has taken me on a journey. I hope it was the journey you intended for the reader, but then that is the wonder of poetry - each reader finds their own gift within the words.
