It Is That Look In Your Eyes

it is that look in your eyes that commences mine closing the world disappears the aroma in your hand echoes the feel as your shoulder guiding, powering the arm the deliverance is in hand all the senses wait for the touching held at bay by a Percheron steadfast angel wings whisper as your hand arrives on my cheek my heart in a pyroclastic bursting as enchantment grasps every atom within me where time and space have no meaning and in that instant when lips meet the Percherons are in a full gallop in a universe gravid with an elucidation that consumes my life a plethora of galaxies i so adore all of this from a social event i had no intention of attending where just one perchance look from afar across the room became the smile on Klotho's face OKC 4/23

Reading your verse I get the sense of life as a poem, or a series, or a collection of series. Is poetry a reflection, or does each moment present vast possibility for art? I can envision your poems as beautiful paintings.

i don't think we ever talked about it but i did a lot of research on the subject of soul mates. some of my poems crawl out of that research, however, this one is mostly mine...i will email more...i have quite the profile on them, they are not your average, i am not saying the term soul mate connot apply to only them...but the characteristics are solely theirs...sometimes i have accused myself of voyeurism...it all started on Youtube and romantic songs...getting replies grew to counselor websites...i will explain more in an email

All the senses wait for the touching …. Yes so very true . The skin beckons …the hands , the lips , the connection of flesh, heart and soul! Percheron’s at a full gallop ! Wonderful passion you paint dear Timothy . I learned some new words while reading . Love your final line . Hugs to you always, Susan :)

A new love Timothy? Or just love? I say 'just' but your poem places so much power behind the emotion.The galloping horses imagery is brilliant. I note Greek mythology too: The thread of life is certainly spun in your work here. Just my take. Cheers - Gary

actually Gary this is a remembrance....one that never leaves...and altho that novel ended....she is still very much with me, not only in memory but in life...for decades i never missed her birthday with a card...my recent move...she talked to realtors, secured me an apartment, had an insurance agent call me, set me up with new health plan, acquired paperwork from 2 doctors very close, potted plants in new apartment, oh, i can see the bus stop out my window, ya know in case i can't drive,and she lives 2.1 miles away....now Gary about those birthday cards... when your back is against the wall they are shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand next to you...
