Ph: Love: Sleeping/Waking/Living In Your Arms Poem by Brian Johnston

From complex but scientifically oriented free verses to simple but multi-layered haikus, Brian has stunned me with this simple and flowing quatrain. If any friend had promised me that Brian would one day capture a true feeling of love in merely a quatrain of four stanzas, I wouldnt have believed it. Indeed, this shows how versatile he is as far as poetry is concerned. I am moved by how you capture the time you spent with this special woman, and I believe she was moved too. With one hand cradling your head My other hand is roaming free I float in evening's meadow song, Am tide moved by the morning's sea. Obviously, the way you cradled your woman's her shows how you admire and cherish her. But tell me, why was your other hand roaming freely? Does that mean you feared to grab her affectionately? There's freedom now in love's embrace That I have never known before, Not faulting other lovers though, Just in your arms I've grown much more. O you are right! , that feeling when you embrace the one you love does not only bring freedom but a feeling of fulfilment. It is fresh and of course, just as you said, it is like you have never felt that way before. Ha! You may wish to be there, yes! and grow more. Happiness cant satisfy, it is always sought for...regardless of its degree that's enjoyed by an individual. Remember, as you rightly said, this is all I can say about your poem for sure.Ha! Lovely poem, Keep writing!
