Maria Williams Poet Verse

Love Is In the Air - POTW

POTW 22rd April 2018

 To right the wrongs of love no flawless gauge exists 
Though visions unfulfilled can leave one bereft
With tears of remorse for the ones who didn’t show
Or lamenting the ones who came and left

 Sparkly wings donned we cruise the starry skies
      Crooning songs of love to the silvery moon
 Mourning its presence being ~ Too late? ~ Too soon?
      Grieving for the ‘dish’ who ran away with the ‘spoon’

Rewrite your song ~ Compose a new melody
     Peek through those shades of pearlescent pink
Discard the restraints of unrequited love
     Bask in loves splendor ~ lest it goes in a blink

Feel a whisper of the breeze ~ on those thundering seas
The quest starts right here on this night crystal clear
That rusty anchor raise ~ you’ve lingered too long
It’s your ship to control ~ Reclaim the power to steer

I trust you like the music video clip by Australian singer John Paul Young. Still loving the sound of the Disco 80’s

Robert Lindley April 16, 2018 at 7:48 PM I knew that this would be yet another gem my friend. And sure as rain it is... "" Bask in loves splendor ~ lest it goes in a blink"" And that I am, yet my poetry writing demands I speak of the bad things of my youth. You are by any standard a great poet and artist my friend! A fav... Maria Williams April 17, 2018 at 4:53 AM Ahh, but you also speak of the 'bad things' because you want to make people aware of the 'pitfalls in life'. and the lessons you learned from them. I highly commend the way you bare your Soul. As the saying goes Robert 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger', and you my friend are a very strong man and a wonderful poet. Never ever stop writing, and thank you for visiting my humble works and faveing them. I am most grateful.....Maria Hugs

Paul Callus April 16, 2018 at 5:08 PM Many are the those who talk about love, but not that many are capable of addressing the topic as poetically as you did. An excellent poem, Maria, and the end stanza is superb! A fav! I like the song by JP Young; unfortunately it's not showing on here, even though I refreshed the page. Will try again later. Regards // paul Maria Williams April 17, 2018 at 4:57 AM I do hope you were able to watch and listen to John Paul Young singing this song, so good. Thank you Paul, I know you have been very busy and I am really flattered that you took some time out to visit, and so happy that you liked and faved this, I so appreciate you....Maria Hugs

Besma Riabi Dziri April 16, 2018 at 9:28 AM Love is in the air" a sign for the human soul to get ready to sail for your journey of Love. Love cannot be overwhelmed, contained or measured.. It is a powerful flow.. The crave for fulfillment is uncontrollable and can outshine us! Love is a journey of freedom within the soul with unpredictable and infinite outcomes.. That's your call Maria in the last verse "It’s your ship to control ~ Reclaim the power to steer" Passion in the hands of reason! A wonderful, insightful beauty! Thank you Maria. Maria Williams April 17, 2018 at 5:03 AM Besma, you have the most beautiful way of expressing your words. I love both your use of language and your interpretative and profound comments I feel honored that you took the time to visit my poem. Thank you ...Maria xxx

Alexis Y. April 16, 2018 at 9:26 AM WoW! Maria, You had me with the title alone. But as I started to read I it was not only the title alone. " Rewrite your song, compose a new melody" are words to live by. You already know how I feel about love and romance. Excellent job:-) Alexis Maria Williams April 17, 2018 at 4:41 AM Yes, you are a old fashioned romantic like me, see, I remember Alexis :). Thanks for the lovely visit and enduring comments, I appreciate both my friend....Maria :)
