Tonight for the first time I read poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke. Only a few poems,
though. He seems sort of nutz and intense(like many poets lol), but what I read I
liked, and was inspired by this write......to my own.
Put out my eyes
By Rainer Maria Rilke
Put out my eyes, and I can see you still,
Slam my ears to, and I can hear you yet;
And without any feet can go to you;
And tongueless, I can conjure you at will.
Break off my arms, I shall take hold of you
And grasp you with my heart as with a hand;
Arrest my heart, my brain will beat as true ;
And if you set this brain of mine afire,
Then on my blood-stream I yet will carry you.

I Think I Wrote A Love Song
By A Pax
Could I write a love song
What words would I seek
Within a cave of echoes
Nothing tunes.....unique
Love is like a thumbprint
No two are the same
Soul mates beg to differ
Twin souls dance aflame
Such language universal
Sweet speech without a word
From the spirit to the soul
All unsaid is heard
Hunger rests at first sight
Banquet for the eye
Music wombed in vocals
Melody of sighs
Every lyric special
Each duo dancing prime
I think I wrote a love song
One year at a time
~~~~~~~~~~
My poem is very light compared to his intensity, but I was inspired by his passions. Happy spring to all those who love each other, or are still in love with life!!!

I think you wrote a love song
With rhythm all its own
And set our hearts ablaze
In rhyme that has a tone.
Love and Light always and in all ways,

And Happy Spring to You - Got Milk and Cookies?!
I like yours a lot better. It's enjoyable to read, it says a lot and draws the reader in to the ideas presented. The last verse especially is wonderful!
