Because - Dec. 28, 2010



Because

Beneath a sea which keeps the names of all that whirl in grace
Far from the pages between your face and mine
Not because I came near to this place
Do I tremble at the beauty
Here I find

On the one hand the looks of lovers call to me in fragrant rains
Whispering from a melodious harp with no strings
On the other hand, I see you in everything
And I tremble at the beauty
Which you bring

Not because of lovely flowers that float gently on the winds
Falling as the sweetest sight to joyful tears
I tremble as I watch each petal descend
Filled with beauty so like you
Yet unaware

    I absolutely love the way you tie the sea to the rain then the tears together: remarkable poem! Thank you for reminding me of the depth of love and the small reminders of those I have loved.

    The power of the poet is to pass along the image with elegance or a spear point. Simply because I prefer the spear does not mean I can not appreciate the elegant. You are delicate with your quiet words.

    I love the art that you have put with your poems, would you be able to write somewhere which artists they are by and their titles?

    Thanks,
    Lucy
