You Are, I am...

by Koan   Sep 10, 2015


You are a blazing Soul-Dance

rising from within the Sun,

upon heavens' rolling dome.

Every eye gazes towards your

clusters of graceful light

that softly embraces

thorns and petals equally,

spreading True Kindness

beyond our eyes

to warm the soul

And I am

a climbing Jasmine

trying to open your arms wide,

to drink the light from your ruby lips

and dissolve within the hues of your

sacred embrace

You are Passion's Breath

that feeds the flames of love's fire,

that burns in the altar of universe.

And when you move through

a broken flute, that

lies in the dust of oblivion,

its ruined body once again

breaks into a melodious instrument,

stirring the air with

blossoming notes of joy...

And I am

a Poet of Immortal Love

trying to harvest those winged songs

into the basket of my heart

from within I pour luminous verses

upon the walls of your existence,

words after words..

Now, that I exhaled the essence of your beauty

I must close my lips and eyes once again,

and let silence turn thoughts and feelings into teardrops,

until the waves of syllables erupt

and wash my soul ashore at your soul's coast...

    Alfred I had to come and read this poem once again. It is so beautiful. You are the love poet of the internet. You have felt and touched true love. It is portrayed in every word you pen.

    I counted so many ands in this poem, it simply killed it. maybe I should have private messaged you with a suggestion. Still, we are obviously in less than charitable moods tonight, Koan.

    Hello Koan,

    I like the single line space between each line. It gives a fresh visual appeal.

    Nice imagery and projected emotion

    upon havens' rolling dome.

    Did you mean havens' or heavens'?

    Nice metaphor. I like Jasmine and its purple flowers.

    trying to open your arms wide,

    to drink the light from your ruby lips

    and dissolve within the hues of your

    sacred embrace

    Lovely imagery...

    You are Passion's Breathe
    ^
    Dis you mean breath (a single breath) or breathe (the act of breathing)?

    that feeds the flames of love's fire,

    that burns in the altar of universe.
    ^
    I like the wording here.

    And when you move through

    a broken flute, that

    lies in the dust of oblivion,
    ^
    and again.

    its ruined body once again

    breaks into a melodious instrument,

    stirring the air with

    blossoming notes of joy...

    All very good.

    Now, that I exhaled the essence of your beauty

    This sounds so good spoken aloud.

    until the waves of syllables erupt

    and wash my soul ashore at your soul's coast...

    This is what you call a passionate and alluring love poem. Your choice of words and the pictures you paint with it simply enters the reader's world with ease. Its so hard to choose a favorite line or part because from start to finish this has been such a...sensual write! Lovely!
