Notes About The Poem

Communion


"COMMUNION"



You speak to me in tongues
I  hear you with my heart
I feel you with my mind
Like a Spring bloom, I am slowly unfurling
Like a ripe plum, you taste me in my rhymes
You touch me black ink injected drug potent
Red Poppies between lines
I sense you in your dreams
They are swelling next to mine
Like a drunk, I swallow all your delicious words
You turn into endless Golden Chalices of Altar Wine

I see you through your mirrors
COMMUNION 
You see me, walking now through mine.

(Lovejoy-Burton/2018)

Whether He survived the crucifixion through life and continued to live His life as a 'man' (human), or was supernaturally resurrected; He was incredibly brave, very selfless and far from ordinary with a message firmly to be imprinted in the minds of man. There is poetry in His proverbs and messages. Some of the most beautiful poetry is delivered through Jesus Christ's thoughts, words and deeds.

Lots of LOVE to you and your's John. I think He's making Himself known very strongly at this time in the world to many people, as well in my Life. He has always been with me, but more now than ever. He is always present and He does hear and answer conversations with Him. x

What a beautiful thought, Leanne, I never thought of it this way but He is with me at all times as well. I ask for His strength many times throughout the day. Bless you my friend.

John that means so much not only to me, but the biggest and most important of all the angels...to me He is not only my Saviour, but my number one angel, who is constantly walking with me and discussing the pros and cons. Lots of love, to you and yours, Leanne.x

So beautiful in thought and images. I can feel the emotion. It is not easy to write a good poem about spiritual experience. Nicely done! Fave!

Thank you Kim. Of course everyone is welcome to their personal beliefs. This is mine. This is how I see/feel it. The message this man gives is very strong, in my mind. In my mind, his death and his vision was not for ... nothing. In fact, one could question, is he really dead? This is my take on 'Communion' and I am sure I have been having it throughout my entire life, but more so of late. Glad you liked. x

This is a display of great and unique poetic talent, IMHO. Which always awes me since my own writings are geared more towards the experiences in my life and do not oft seek to display such color and emotion. You my friend, have a rare gift,methinks.. A fav...

Sending Joy and Peace to you and your family this Easter Robert. There are far better writers than myself here in these pages. The common denominator, is that we have been given a gift. A rather precious gift to be delivered with great forethought in mind. The gift you give through your writing should never be adlibbed. Perhaps one writes for an audience, then again perhaps it is a form of automatic writing a message to oneself...from your higher self, or perhaps even some higher power.Loved your trilogy - perhaps that is your best style/format. Keep writing from the heart, remain true to you. Just as the man I converse with in my poem "Communion" stayed and remains standing "True".

Best of Easter greetings and wishes to you and your family James. I have left some Easter Eggs under my poem. People can take them, or leave them as they wish. All very intriguing. Yes, it is amazing what communion we make and the conversations we have in our dreams, other dimensions entirely and what amazing ways the conversations take communion to a whole other level.

Like many people writing in these pages, I am "raw" in so many ways. Most good writers are. Kai, you are ONE of the most original, very unique and intelligent writers I am reading here. Thank you for reading my words. Never change your style or conform to please the majority.All the best of wishes to you always. Leanne.
