A sunny day with somewhere to go
Some women are thought beautiful
But the true test of beauty is simple:
Does she arrest you,
And make you linger?
Well, you do those things to me
And when you leave
I can’t tell if night is forlorn
Or my heart burdened
Now that you're gone,
And that’s why
I write this poem.
But do you ever read my words
Or just the notes my fingers
Trace upon your body?
You’re impossible to forget
Yet easy to regret…
And irresistible.
Your gravity bends light,
Collapses moments,
Pulls me and my whole damn world
Into your orbit.
You’re impossible to forget
And you know it.
No hay mujer más hermosa que aquella que sabe el volcán que puede despertar, @johnjgeddes. Siempre tú tan amante de la belleza femenina, le escribes al amor que es capaz de despertar la mujer en el hombre. Parece ser ella la madre de todas las tentaciones y la causante de todos tus poemas. Cuando amamos, como bien dices, a veces ese amor es casa, un lugar en donde ir. Tu Itaca reservada.Se siente bien amar así. Feliz noche
Gracias, Nancy
Ten siempre a Ítaca en tu mente.
Llegar allí es tu destino.
Pero no apresures el viaje.
Mejor que dura muchos años
y atracar, viejo, en la isla,
enriquecido por lo que ganaste en el camino
sin aferrarte a Ithaca enriqueciéndote.
Leer Ítaca siempre es bueno, volver a ella aunque sea en sueño!!!!
It is an original piece of writing. The good thing about writing poems, compared to narrations, is that you express more of your feelings to the poem. While in narration you have to write a lot of text to depict a situation and describe feelings of others. Whereas, feelings, emotions and the inner side of the author is directly revealed and exposed to the readers. Moreover, poetry makes people think about the writing. And sometime some lines can be very powerful and have impact on other people as well.
Thank you for your comment. I agree -poetry is a different way of knowing :)
I like the message the lines that hit me "You’re impossible to forget
And you know it"

La belleza del alma puede enamorarte a un nivel sin reparación, a un nivel que no puedes controlar... Qué lo sepas es saber que aprecias lo intangible, lo que ante nuestros ojos no se manifiesta y ha ese nivel no cualquiera llega.
Preciso y hermoso caballero <3
