Tranquil Love

by Lioness   Apr 2, 2012


My love,

Save me
a place beneath
your tranquil
window sill.

I'm longing for a
bench to rest
my weary self
and reverie about
fields of colourful
springtime tulips.

We could snuggle up
to watch the outside
drizzling rain and then
gaze at the midnight
stars.

I want to listen
to you whisper
charming words as they
sweetly roll off
your tongue -
like a sensual kiss.

Eternity seems
but a short distance
away in your arms.

Now tell me,
my sweet love -
how can I survive
this existence,
if you keep taking
my breath away.

    Liz, This is one heck of a love poem. I liked the sense of reality about it. I liked how you let the reader into your world and walk with you through the poem.

    Liz, this is one of them poems you could read over and over again and never tire of the feeling it brings, such a happy warm poem, love the wording and the gentle tranquil calmness of the whole piece.

    Love is such a feeling that at the best times is the best feeling ever but sometimes it can hurt us, yet I loove how this just focused on the good and the now in a relationship...

    I really do not know how you do it, but you do it over and over again. You probably wonder what I am talking about, well it is the way you touch my heart. I can really relate to this poem and your tone is really familiar as in me being able to imagine exactly in what kind of voice you would say it if you were to say it.

    At times I wonder whether love is rather quiet or loud and I usually end up thinking that it is quiet, in the sense of careful, calm and caring and I felt like this poem conveyed this quietness too, which made the whole read very comforting.

    The fact that you started the poem with "My love" made this really personal, but I felt this "privacy" throughout the poem, like there is only you and him and nobody can disturb your tranquillity. I have to agree with the previous comments that the end is really interesting.

    Liz, this is my favorite part

    Eternity seems
    but a short distance
    away in your arms.

    5,5,5 syllables in each line and the flow is great as well as the message. That being in the arms of your love for eternity won't suffice.
