When she


by a Man From Maine



and when she smiles

I feel warmth in my heart

 

and when her eyes glisten

I melt and succumb

 

and when she speaks

I hear no other sound

 

and when she frowns

I search to cure

 

and when she shows concern

I carry as though my burden

 

and when she speaks of life

I understand a meaning

 

and when she were to sin

I will pay with my being

 

and when she fails

I will teach she has not

 

and when she loves

 I know heaven on our Earth

I have been reading poetry

I have been reading poetry for forty-five and a half years, and this is one of the most beautiful love poems I have read in all that time.

the warmth of woman is a

the warmth of woman is a stark contrast to the winter of life
the brilliant sounds of her voice ring bright as the sun
just beyond the dark prison doors
remembering the sweet taste of lips
found in the dark of the night

welcome to my madness

I love the way you jump

I love the way you jump straight into this as if half way through without an actual beginning. Very unusual. Lovely wording too. Sue.

"...heaven on our Earth..."

a nice reworking of a cliche - I love it when that happens - The repetition makes it rhythmic, like a song lyric. (& yes, beautiful) ~(:D)   Star
