With Name

With Name I shall cast my anchor Taking care to never wreck the coral Stone tablets I’ll cast to the sea Stationery, my vessel in the breeze. On the bow of this ship, my mind is free. Loveliness became the shores before me. Exquisite beauty in the shape of palms Shimmering paths into vine covered hills A stream runs up to a lake in the clouds Feeding layers of clovers and grass and sage Then rain came down and became the stars. My stone tablets held fast in the breeze. Remaining stationary on my vessel I see as Evening became day and the stars became trees Elegant curves fair the shores before me. Gentle licks from a dove said above is to be On the brow of a Love as alluring symmetry ”... to pleasure you, gives pleasure to me…” A swirl of winds exchanging ecstasy "The melodious song of a meadowlark" Became blades of grass in a near by park And a sun was set by this lost horizon… On my ship I wept for my eyes were on. Such beauty in their hearts as solitude Peaceful grace as ease became longitude Spring days lead to summers of Plentiful Gentle Love is the Way of the people here “The dying is slow and long are their years”

Some outstanding lines in this one Izzy 'Then rain came down and became the stars.' is one of my favourites! The process of constant renewal and our fleeting glimpse at this while we cast our anchor with our name is pure elixir to the mind, i've read through it a few times now and it gets better every time!! '"The dying is slow and long are their years"' :) double thumbs up from me. pea's and the good stuff

Thank you both! This was actually inspired by a friend of mine using the word Pulchritude in a poem... i looked it up, then wrote this. Inspired by Synonyms... I'm such a nerd ;) lol.

What a beautiful piece of work from your pen, Izzy!...I always like reading your poems even if don't always understand them... that's what makes them GOOD and thus I must make my own interpretations!... I just like the way they flow, ya' know? I would guess this one is about your vision of heaven?...Or perhaps making love?...Or perhaps, perhaps...etc.?...Your friend - Tim
