The River Running Free

You flood my mind like a river running free.

Your words like coarse silk begin to touch me.

The brilliance of you're eyes intensify

The beat of my heart until I sigh

With the realization that we shall never be

That river running free.

 

Your stride washes in like a tide,

Strong and powerful and never to abide

By the ocean's archetype to comply

Which only testifies to the smile that vivifies

The hope that one day, maybe

Our rivers will run free.

powerful

The first stanza is epic..and intensifies a feeling of desire. I really like this poem  for 2 reasons.  The feeling of that desire, but conversely the despair in realizing it may not ever be. Excellent poem,and excellent usage to accompany the lines. Bravo

Thank you very much. :) I

Thank you very much. :) I wrote this for someone who is moving really far away. This particular guy just had a tough life, but he always managed to carry with him this smile and optimism and strength and ability to never give up on his dreams despite his circumstances. So, despite the poem being about a sort of love, it is also about our hopes and dreams for the future individualy.
