Shining a Light

You captivate me with your ambiance- even inside my misguided muse I seek you with all that my soul has to offer. I’m hypnotized by the way you look at me without searching for my becoming flaws, astounded that the strength in your touch can make me weak without warning. You say I am opulent; abundant in beauty- I wonder if you know you are the magic that holds the stars up in the eventide sky. You bring a clarity into my life showing me what's truly right, denouncing what's wrong, shining a light into my shadows; you have brought meaning into a world that I had thought was meaningless, telling me you are incomplete without me. My essence sparkles when you are near- brighter than any celestial being. My existence melts into your warm softness taking my breath from this magic we create. A collaboration...

Thank you John! Laura came to me telling me she thought our style was similar and until I wrote with her I didn't realize it before! She is a great writer I'm glad I can attempt to keep up with her! Much appreciated John!;)

What a wonderful collaboration between two great poets.. is this what they call girl power? Great lines in both parts... The aim of this contest was not how high someone places, it was to introduce poets who do not enter contests.... Thanks for taking part..

This is soul ethereal, a dreamy affirmation of love, Brenda. Your golden girl pen shines w/womanly wisdom cast afar, and near and dear to the heart. Platinum caliber poetry, my dear friend. Love and more love always.

Lots of richly endowed words come to mind here: sumptuous, luscious, delectable, lavish. It is almost as if you have taken all the best tasting ingredients for a beautifully tasting cake -- and thrown them all into the mixing bowl! An incredible poetic feast, girls -- very well done! My very best regards to you both. :) john
