Poem Artwork

I saw you waltz
across the wide expanse
of emerald lawn

You wore a sapphire sky
in the indolent air of aging June
Sunrays played upon your hair
You held her hand
I saw you smile
like no one can
I heard your laughter
Its musical notes danced
 in the dreamy languorous mood
of midday

I heard you say her name
I looked at her
I was amazed
at her matter-of-factly composure

How could she not be in awe
of the goddess
granting her such attention?


In the moment
I wished
I had been born different

The expressions of colors and the writings emotional points hash very well--very creative! You must have studied fine art or been involved in fine art at one time or another. The writing is excellent, as well as the use of the symbolism of colors. Thanks for another great writing, Regis. Great expression!

Reg,

I found 'Wish' on your site map. Of course you wish you had been born different ... just for a moment I think! Woman to woman passion! Just as you say it, Reg. When you say "I saw you waltz across the wide expanse of emerald lawn," metaphorically, I AM THERE ... that wide bushy triangle patch of her grass that I am mowing her down with my tongue! Yes ... my toe has been on THAT line! The artwork enhances your poem. Her name is 'DESIRE.' I know her well ... she is the goddess that you say. Thanks for reminding me, Reg.

your literary comrade,

Sage

OMG regis this is soooooo beautiful. I wish that a man was holding my hand on such a beautiful day, and saying soothing words to me, and laughing and romping. OMG, what a beautiful, picturesque story, in poetic form, you have painted here. Thnx for sharing Regis. May the Lord be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love, peace, & (((HUGS))), Barbie

Hi Regis,
Well I found my way here so I can't be that daft.
Tell you what that is a fine hair cut, that would have scared the wits out of any Roman, we just jumped up on Hadrains Wall and showed our backsides it worked just as well.
Back to the poem,
One of the few benefits of getting older, is that we sometimes get wiser too,understanding the complexities of human nature is one of those benefits.
I think you have mapped out in this poem an excellent case for better understanding.
Well Done.
