Notes About The Poem

Photography ~ Anna Selezneva

If You Are Poetry

If you are Poetry, - an atlas Pina Coladas, my escape . . why do moments taunt me, your canvas, sentences that have taken shape? If you are Poetry, - a scribble lyrics of, just the way you are, how is your symphony visible . . when you feel like a distant star? If you are Poetry, - my whole world then, I want to know what love is, take my hand and show me words uncurled . . am I worthy of you, of bliss?

I am poetry, write me in the rhythm of words or perhaps not our time is smooth upon each others arms. Just know my love is strong in you the breath of my heart flourish. Love, like a symphony in desert with no one hear my soul cries hungers thirst. Cause you are there I exist because you love, I have found also my depths to have life.

Thanks Brandy, was hoping catch your soul upon the stars of moonlight skies. Whisper, as if the breeze spoke itself. Not my words you feel in touch but the nibble of my lips caressing your curves. For beauty is loves own music that we sing night air of our fallen hearts. ??

When we write poetry we expose a little bit of ourselves to the world.

Another gem. And again ... your words dance on the edge of experiencing love full force ... and standing a mile back. It's that state of limbo that makes it interesting. You write in an engaging matter. As a side note: Just the Way You Are is one of Billy Joel's best songs! Loved that one (however ... you really ought to stop seducing me with these photo accompaniments ... LOL!)
