I know what you want
I know what you need
better than you do
for the essence of beauty runs deeper
than mere reflections in glass
it is the rubies that are found
in the treasure chest of the soul
where desires flourish
flying free like the diagram of chance
unheralded whispers
on the winds of dying romance
where the doves cry no more
and angels hold the battered close
within the comfort of their precious wings
such are the things created
by the yearning heart
the churning of the art
that is crafted without the touching palm
but sought in the thinking mind
I see you when you dream
and hear you so clearly
in the silence when you scream
for another
that sacred touch
that leads to the bond of life's circle
no mere sweating bodies
and skin upon sheets
but the quiet moments
where words are spoken
with no audible note
songs written and plucked
on the harp strings of feathered hope
for this is where I find you
for I know where you go
and I must follow
as your beauty leads the way
lost in the endless images
that dance so preciously
in the corridors of my mind
and etched forever on the wall
of my scripting heart

Lovely and very romantic. A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOR EVER - John Keats. A well articulated poem written in poetic diction. A nice one indeed. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
Excellent...beautiful sentiment, well written. 10 Regards, Leria
simply nice poem, but when we write a poem we have to concentrate on that and when we do other things we have to concentrate on that! Mingling these two, I think not so good, particularly the person we are with, can't understand what we speak poetically!
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
