Justin Bordner Poet Ode

Love In Exile

You reinvented me
giving me a rebel's energy,
providing license for my love to sing
the touch of your soul meaning everything,

From us wild words arose
speaking of history and stars we chose,
expecting too much of Destiny
venturing on through wilderness and purity,

Inspiration innocent in it's infliction
made us bleed for need of salted affection,
exhibitionists with effrontery for the eyes of etiquette
expressionism unfolding humanism from stellar grit,

When wisdom had no mercy
she was a woman feminine in fury,
wanting to be stronger than truth
when I said I love you she demanded no proof,

All she wanted was a pretty poem
poetry that brings happiness home,
so we made substance of swagger
feeding life gold mined from passion's matter -

J.A.B.

Love changes us in the most marvelous ways...words, expressions, and revelations through poetry heighten our awareness to something greater, and even spiritual. A very satisfying poem to revisit today. always, Laura Justin Bordner November 16, 2015 at 10:22 PM Your wisdom and passion satisfy me, yet I always pine for more of your powers.

A.E. Rivenbark June 9, 2014 at 10:15 PM Very sweet and passionate poem, loved "stellar grit". You should do one for Norwegian Wood! Great song and you could certainly do it justice. Justin Bordner June 17, 2014 at 1:29 PM Yeah Riverbank, stellar grit really expresses the grind and enfurance that love can be. Your poetry is incredible. J.A.B.

Kelly Deschler June 4, 2014 at 11:20 PM Beautiful!.... Poetry can do some wondrous things. It can connect people through emotion, heal pain in a therapeutic way, build friendships, and of course it can be used for romance.... I really enjoyed your poem, Justin, especially that last stanza. Loved the rhyme in this, also! Justin Bordner June 5, 2014 at 1:39 PM Thank you so much Kelly for your beautiful thoughts and poetry. Partners in Passion, a real blessing. Happy you enjoyed the rhyme structure. I prefer free verse alliteration coupled with inner line rhyming, but sometimes I get a craving to produce a more classic tempo. Thanks. J.A.B.

Andrea Dietrich June 1, 2014 at 8:39 PM Justin, if you will see my blog, you will know that I don't often return to see replies like you have just left me here today, but I am glad I came back to reread this one and see that reply to me!!

Your visit makes me smile wide. J.A.B.

Eileen Manassian May 29, 2014 at 4:05 PM Lovely, Justin. Your muse is a powerful woman to bring such depth of emotion out of you. A poem is the most touching gift of a soul. Justin Bordner May 30, 2014 at 8:28 PM I whole heartedly agree Eileen. She is a wonder, a mircale, a sweet suffering, magic in the loneliness of Love. You have composed many a blessing in your amazing poetry Eileen. J.A.B.

Elaine George May 28, 2014 at 6:30 AM There is nothing that can capture the heart of a women better, than a love poem written especially for her. You my friend, are a very gifted writer. Also thank you for your kind comments today. Lainie Justin Bordner May 28, 2014 at 8:27 PM Thete is no better purpose for Poetry than to illustrate the essence of Love's dynamics Lainie. You speak truth, and kindness my friend. I have composed additional love works through the Adam & Eve account with an extraordinary Poetess, some of the writes are solo works and others in the account are collaborations, the saga we've created together is replete with love.

Ken Carroll May 27, 2014 at 8:13 PM Good stuff Justin..Thanks for your visit to my page! Justin Bordner May 27, 2014 at 8:55 PM Thanks Ken, Love diversifies my style, like how the woman in this poem is capable of "Reinventing" the Man. J.A.B.

Poet Destroyer A May 27, 2014 at 8:06 PM Justin, throughout the poem love does not speak, a flawless poem. Humanism, wanting to extract love from exile. The best love will not utter a word or ask for proof. I learned that through (nate). So yes, I know what you are talking about. When affection wonders, and decides to exile the love for the time to be. Love then regains consciousness and becomes stronger, when joined and spoken of. The power of love, gets better on its return.... Awesome poem.... Linda Justin Bordner May 27, 2014 at 8:52 PM The love is in every letter Linda, aware of It's power through the union of two souls. Love is the essence of life, and as this poem illustrates, it will not be defined by a word or single action. Silent love has a beautiful attitude, glade you experienced that with Nate. I love your poetic comment, your wisdom has mercy my Sphinx. J.A.B.
