You are burnt in my being. These small lines around your mouth, full lips brushed in wild gouache strokes Eyes of Prussian blue, aquamarine gems to quench fire, to evoke thirst.... In fidgety sticky nights you are draped around me, wrinkled in rosy lines drawn over my chest, engraved in my foggy mind. My inept fingers on your violin strings, my loosely threaded bow stroking your hair, caressing your meandering frame, while I hear the soft chime of your voice, symphony in movements never heard but deeply felt. You are burnt in my soul. *** May 5, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Good Afternoon Darren. Allow me to say this is more than stunning more than beautiful more than emotional and yes more than real all the above. In short this is poetry with a most perfect ending line and poetic expression to match the entry and poetry itself. Read back the line and your words and you will see. It is an honor always. Have a wonderful afternoon. Well done completely and entirely. Stay well please.

Dance and music, especially the combo, are extremely important to me. It is poetry in motion, and that is what I see while composing a poem. Thanks my dear friend :)

Your expressive, descriptive words, sound sensual, painting a many colored canvas of sights, and a symphony of sounds, that the reader can easily relate to, as they feel your words come to life within the reading of this poem. Emile. #7
