When someone has the ability to see beneath the surface still waters and finds those hidden caves within.


Poem Artwork

If I stopped thinking
for a while
and put my passions aside
Could I reach you still?
Will my words enter in
to that deepest place
you don't reveal?
In your understanding
of my thoughts
I have felt as though
I were laid bare
and my heart in its
fragile beating
pulsed warm blood -
that blood that is my love
upon your hands
because you care...

I sorted your poems by category, then selected one from romance. I speared a delicate morsel. It is thoughtful, caring, and sealed with a final line that this reader will not forget. Gasps...

Chanti, sometimes by putting love on a shelf allows one to explore the deepest recess of ones’ soul, my friend. One could easily apply this marvelous Masterpiece in one’s own life in order to find the way to utopia. Thank you for sharing your poetic inspiring compositions. Take good care and be well.

this is an exceptional piece Chanti, and I mean that truly. It is clear, it has an extreme good sense of conciseness, and you do not get wordy and boring. This seems to bubble right out of the heart, al

Sweet, deep, and absolutley priceless, Chanti!
Just like the author.
I think your words could reach even the coldest
of hearts, and melt it.
I hope the one for whom this is a tribute is worthy
of such splendid devotion.
