Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Candelit Voices

"Clean shaven memories remain
stuck in silence waiting to scream"

Voices sing out in adulation
inflections bending an ear
float me off   to be
lit eye interior arranged
to be blown away 
with heavenly wings

Candlelit flickers imagine 
soft breeze kisses  await
crisscrossed oceans and moonbeams 
aired along whispered dreams
folded up neatly
cascading my way

Lisa Ricci May 23, 2017 at 6:20 AM Good Morning Tim. Excuse me Good Morning Poet Tim. This is more than fine poetry. Everything with your composition and construction is well throughout. I have one problem however. I wish I had created this. This is original and so beautiful including the title. Well done completely and entirely. Have a wonderful morning.
