Love Untamed Poem by Aphrodite Anastasia Menegaki

Love Untamed

Rating: 4.9


Untamed nature, wild and free
Free as only the winds can be
Soft as velvet and black as coal
Daring and boundless is their soul
No rope, no reins can hold them still
They do only as they will
Sons of the moon and the dark night
Majestically they dance in the twilight
Their hoofs hit the ground
Have you ever heard such a sound?
Such rhythm, so strong yet so graceful
Their heart's wild to freedom faithful
Through the woods, through the winter's mist
To their beauty who can resist?
Hear their gallop and their loud neigh
Follow their path as they run away
And if you're worthy of their glance
If they decide to give you a chance
Seek not for trophy but earn their trust
They'll never love a heart unjust
Open your soul, never use force
Only then you'll earn the love of a horse

They are majestic, And their fate has been meshed with ours for eons. Whether they pulled war chariots or ploughs they were essential. The language of your poem does justice to them. You don't relate cute things about horses performing tricks for audiences. Your horses are stretching their sinews. For freedom in one memorable part of your poem. The only horses I knew in the past were work hiorses who were docile and exhausted from over-work, But Felipe is the horse you poem brkings to life, and his is a proud, free nature, ther ideal image of the horse.

Hello, dear Daniel! Thank you for your comment! I couldn't agree more with you and, indeed, horses' fate has been entwined with that of humans, and I truly wish these lovely creatures had never been forced to participate in any of the hundreds of wars mankind was led to! These noble and beautiful creatures should always be free, and never tied down either for war, for work or for any audience who enjoys seeing them performing tricks. Felipe is thankfully a lucky, majestic Friesian horse, to whom I just can't stop bringing treats! ! Thank you so much for your comment! !

I used to live in an apartment complex which was adjacent ti a huge farm fields with gently rolling hills and lush lawns, because the farm has shut down and the space was for grazing, prancing, running-free horses urban people owned. For four years I saw those horses everyday ans many of the horses saw more of me than their owners! I was always respectful of their wildness and freedom. The thought of riding one never crossed my mind: I worshiped them as masters of the earth. And I could fully embrace the Myth of the Centaur when I talked to one in English and he or she nudged me with their massive head and one great eye stared completely through my body. Your poem has restored these memories of so long go. The horses are gone, the fields destroyed, a huge freeway has replaced the Freedom of Horses. Bless you for your poem: you restored all of this lost grandeur in my mind.

Aloha Anastasia... If I may... a good composition and being able to develop it is a blessing and a most trying effort... There are not too many 'naturals' placing their words about in these forums... and IAM so appreciative that you have made both the effort and the decision to do so... I humbly thank you for your fine mind, appreciation of the 'craft', and for your trust in my thoughts... All of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michaelw1two
