Ph: Love: A New Reality Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Love: A New Reality



You touch my battered heart
Like the feathered wings of angels,
You burst from my poor eyes
Like the tears of awakened love.

You flood perfume scarred lungs
Like the scent of summer roses,
You sparkle in my rhymes
Like the sentient stars above.

Your breath seeds sounds of rain
(Like distant drums) soothing my fears,
Your presence feeds my verse
Like mother earth's most verdant dreams.

Your voice calms savage soul
Like gentle breeze strumming tree limbs,
Your shadow shelters all
Like Light you move (you act) it seems.

You draw me from the sky
Like the call of nesting falcons,
You rob me of my breath
Like lava frozen in the sea

Your spark exceeds desire
Like a prism, reveals rainbows,
You fill my life with hope
Like a balloon that raptures me.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Brian Johnston
February 28,2014

Each image of this poem, although earth bound for the most part, is so extreme as to be really unattainable by any mortal woman. Though it sounds like that it is a woman who is being adored here (and I thought that when I wrote it) , I wonder if perhaps God isn't really the only suitable candidate for the poet's love?

What a lovely poem - such emotion on display. It appears no part of you has been left untouched by this consuming passion. This kind of love only comes once in a lifetime - so rare!

A beautiful heart-catching poem on perfect love. Imagery is outstanding, it brings the words alive, I can feel and touch them. Too bad the malcontent can't capture the beauty that you so easily can. Great write, Brian. Love it. RoseAnn
