Notes About The Poem

Suddenly

     Suddenly I was caught 
In the whirlwind of you.
     Tumbling, tumbling...
My heart beating faster
     Flying, soaring the heavens.

The universe in its vastness
     Swallowed me.
Your brilliance penetrated
     The darkness as a distant star
And I felt myself being pulled
     Into orbiting around you

Eternally seeking to be eclipsed
     By your grandeur and beauty,
To be warmed by your nearness
     And kissed by your light.

Daniel Turner February 18, 2016 at 4:53 PM I too am Leo, Beautiful write, Connie. One knows when they read a love poem and it doesn't have the word love in it, they have read an expression from the heart. Brilliant write and congratulations. Connie Marcum Wong February 19, 2016 at 9:42 PM How intuitive you are to mention that Daniel. I can tell you really understood my meaning, of course Leos are pretty perceptive! ; ) I appreciate this great comment and your congrats. Thank you very much. Aloha, Connie

Monterey Sirak June 10, 2015 at 11:08 AM Your images sing with beauty, romance, and magic. The great thing is that although he may not understand the poetry, I am sure he understands the look in your eyes, only for him. Connie Marcum Wong June 12, 2015 at 12:35 AM Thank you very much Monterey. I think you are right. hugs, Connie

Andrea Dietrich May 30, 2015 at 9:35 AM The fact that he did not get it simply means he does not share your poetic soul, dear. I still love seeing this one again!! Connie Marcum Wong June 12, 2015 at 12:37 AM Thank you Andrea. I have been on the computer too long today so will get off now. I have enjoyed reading your poetry and others too. Hugs, Connie

I know a few who would instantly get your drift. great poem and tribute to your husband hugs 7*** Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 7:48 PM Most male poets will also understand this poem Shadow, but my husband just didn't get it. LOL. That is the reason I put the explanation with this poem. Thanks so much. hugs, Connie

Harry Horsman May 27, 2015 at 3:27 PM Such is love Connie, truly awesome. Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:29 PM Thank you Harry. I always enjoy reading your poetry. Blessings, Connie

Emile Pinet May 27, 2015 at 11:28 AM This is a hauntingly beautiful poem that poetically draws on the allure of nature, the sun and the stars to express the essence of love. Your feelings come through strong and straight from the heart where most good poetry is born. Emile #7 Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:33 PM Wow Emile, this is why I love to read your poetry so much. You not only understand poetry down to its core but you express poetry in your verses with such intensity to coax tears from so many who read your work. It makes me very happy that you truly understood what I was striving to convey in my little humble poem. Thank you so much Emile. Blessings, Connie

Daver Austin May 27, 2015 at 10:46 AM Yes, the universe is all about love and being in love is like opening a door to that vastness. Love, alike the universe, cannot really be understood. It just is. This is what I get from your fine poem. Love, daver Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:34 PM Daver, I could never have expressed my feelings that well. Thank you for your understanding of my poem dear friend. You are a blessing. Love, Connie

Nette Onclaud May 27, 2015 at 10:23 AM nothing like the law of attraction that meshes two into one, connie.. a poetic charm that outlives time.. lovely, lovely.. huggs Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:36 PM I can tell you understood my poem completely Nette and I appreciate your welcome words of praise. You are a master poet in my mind and I learn and grow from your words constantly. Blessings and hugs, Connie

M. L. Kiser May 27, 2015 at 9:36 AM That was just beautiful. I am sure that Michael loves it, too. I don't think that it needs any explanation; it sings. Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:38 PM He didn't get it....Haha, but I gave him the same explanation I have above and he kind of did. I try....Thanks for your lovely comment. hugs, Connie

Richard Lamoureux May 27, 2015 at 8:44 AM The poem is perfect, I personally feel you expressed it well and the explanation is not required. After all you wrote it for a man and I am sure he understood. Perhaps you underestimate us a bit. Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:41 PM He didn't understand it at all Richard. But then again he is not a poet. I believe we live in our own world sometimes. I didn't mean to underestimate you, for sure. You write with profound understanding and insight Richard. Thank you and blessings, Connie

Paul Callus May 27, 2015 at 8:13 AM And suddenly, I too found myself caught in the romantic beauty of these lines, Connie!! You are both lucky to have and strengthen one another. I wish you all the best. Take care. Hugs // paul Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 5:42 PM Thank you Paul. I knew you would understand this as we are kindred spirits. I drink your poetry in as an elixir of life! hugs and blessings, Connie

Kp Nunez May 27, 2015 at 7:50 AM How beautiful is your love, Connie, and your poem has done it justice. You are very fortunate to have found that kind of relationship with your husband. A 7. God bless your marriage. Kim Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 7:04 PM Thank you Kim. He was my knight in shining armor, and still is. I appreciate your kind comment. Hugs, Connie

Sandra Haight May 27, 2015 at 7:02 AM So beautiful, Connie, and what a wonderful tribute to your dear husband. Your metaphor has grasped the true meaning of love that is bonded in the mysterious gravity of a symbiotic relationship. Hugs, Sandra Connie Marcum Wong May 27, 2015 at 7:05 PM You truly understood the meaning of my lines Sandra. I appreciate your thoughtful comment and thank you very much! hugs, Connie
