The Lady OF My Soul
The Lady Of My Soul
From deep within her bright eyes
and in her sultry laugh
come tender soul vibrations
where spells of love are cast.
With graceful taste and wisdom
through strife or peace and hope
there lives my sweet enchantress
The lady of my soul.
Her rare and mystic mindset
a lighthouse for the truth
sends passionate love beacons
to the sea of stranded youth
With words of gathered knowledge
Inwoven in her speech
with mercy and true vision
she speaks of faith in leaps.
Her look is deep with dreaming
of a love that cancels tears.
Her eyes are filled with wonder
and unpermitted fears.
For she's come down from heaven
and all the lives she passed
are vehicles of purpose
that wait to bring her back.
And when her needed tableaux
protects her special doves
with teeming flair and purpose
she triumphs in her love.
In calm she waits out worry
when time for changing grows
and there's no other mortal
more patient with her own.
Deep in the heart of my soul
lies the jewell of her worth.
where destiny has brought her
to deal with love or hurt.
In bold and sudden fashion
she rises from the fold
to state her love with spirit
the lady of my soul.
She knows dry eyes are hiding
the feelings in this man.
while sweetness of her merit
within my pulse expands.
Her armor or her softness
both stir my mind like fire
no quick reluctant purpose
can quell my deep desire.
With cheer and expectation
and time for all things born
she heartens the disheartened
and comforts the forlorn.
She's gentle and all-seeing
and mirrors her repose
with love for curing sadness
the lady of my soul.
Her words are wonderous music
that warm like winds of spring.
And her faith is like the twilight
the end of day can bring.
Her senusous naked valleys
where sensation stirs my bones
are places where I take
the finest journey home.
And year by year she's gifted
with the will to share her source
Her love of future scanning
the path of evermore.
And back from all life's setbacks
she springs to keep me whole
with sorceries of gladness
the lady of my soul.
Beautifully, exquisitely done!

Most glad to discover your halls of poetry. ^_^ I've been around a few of your poems yet, and they truly inspired me. This one captured my attention. I find this elegant, your words flowing in every stanza. I just read it on and on and I was not aware that I've already come to the last line. That's how captivating your poem is. ^_^ I have to read more! All the best!
Eric, you're right.....this is beautiful! I printed it and stuck it in another book that I'm reading. This is one that needs to be read again...(and again). You're a very talented poet.....I'm glad I found your work and will definitly be back to read more!
This poem is magical in its flowing yet intricate design, I'm going to read it a few more times yet! You are a truely gifted writer (no pun intended). Congratz on the top 10! Have fun,

A finely woven tapestry of emotions, with patterns repeating in delicate rhythms, and images evoking beauty at every turn. A sensuous and magnificent collage of verse. Keep doing whatever that thing is you're doing that makes you rhyme this way! Ken

So glad for you that this one made Top Ten. It is truely beatiful. You rarely see a man express his feelings in poetry and to tell the lady of soul publically how he feels is even more rare. I do hope that she's still part of your life and appreciates you for that which you are willing to express in words. Keep up with the poem writing dedicated to this lady, will you?
Eric...this is a grand piece of work. Congratulations for the Top Ten...
had to come back after reading again and say that this is such great writing. The kind of poem that I want to leave behind something for other readers like: read it again, take notes. Really wonderful talent.
Eric, Wow! What a gorgeous poem. Beautifully crafted. Exquisite. She must be quite a special lady :) I especially loved these lines: through strife or peace and hope there lies my sweet enchantress The lady of my soul. I loved them all, actually :) A great, spirited write and read! Provokes emotion in the reader. Captivating.
Eric, this flows with amazement, the sort of praiseworthy tribute poem I enjoy, one that elevates a tender woman's value to the levels only we, as true romantic men, can appreciate. The rhyme was wonderful, not forced, and made the read exciting (coming from me, the master of frantic rhyme, makes this even more of a compliment). I am sure she is either smiling ear to ear, eyes closed, ready to drift like a Autumn-kissed leaf into your arms OR running away in terror to the safety of some thug's shiny blue Camaro, never to look back (sometimes they do that too)
How very beautiful this was...such tenderness and love. I really like this one...thanks for sharing. Great work...lovely!
