In the Depths of Poetry

can we touch
on sheets of white
where passion unfolds
between the lines?

i linger there
in the ink
of dreams

as i stumble
upon the whispers
of thoughts
through lips
as they kiss
in depths
of metaphors

a pulse
within the words
silently beats
in the chambers
of my heart
a melody

as stanzas fall
softly upon
soul's walls
in the flickers
of touch

i become breathless
in the climax
a top these sheets
in the depths
of poetry

You do these blends of romance with poetry and poetry with romance so, so well. Love the way you combine them in inseparable form-function. Bravo. A FAVE for me. Thanks, Sandra. Cheers, Gershon
