"I want to see thirst In the syllables, touch fire In the sound; feel through the dark. For the scream." ~ Pablo Neruda
I taste the pulse of stars coursing through rhymes, stirring my moon-swept soul, as I ache for your soft blue sparks of poetry, breathless and lost in the musky heat of phrases etched beneath champagne skies, wrapped in threads of chiffon-laced heartbeats. And I think of you ~ the pearl warmth of dusk, for in your arms, I felt a wistful verse, glowing like fervent fireflies but if love could color the blush of secret sunsets, would you be the gold that binds me to Romeo’s silent sighs?

Whoever Romeo is, I'm sure he would be honored and blush in crystal tears. Your take on Shakespeare adds a fresh dimension. Too bad they both have to die. But you resurrect their spirit.

IE, this is an outstanding statement of feeling and of looking for love and loving poetry. I am delightfully confused as to whether the emphasis is on romance or love for words. I'm inclined to think words, and the way you've done this is outstanding. Truly wonderful. I'm making this a favorite as it does something different indeed.

A purpose placed gently, in the center of your wisest pulse, like a gemstone of graceful genuflection palpatates for poetry not of threadbare words but of song soothing into the theater of your purple glow heartbeats...J.A.B.

"...if love could color the blush of secret sunsets..." if that were possible, I think their colors would be much too beautiful to give them names. Nor would I think Romeo or his Juliet would have silent sighs... such a love is not bound to silence. ;-)

You've always been good at etheree poems and you do them with so much ease.. a lovely poem about your blue eyed lover, so romantic and if love could colour the blush of secret sunsets - would your lovers sighs caress your soft skin? Fireflies' and gold would love so stunning under a lilac sunset wouldn't they... You are a master of words and a mistress to silent sighs - best of luck in the contest and sending you positive light as always...
