Is Love just imagined
An un-reality
Feelings not yet endured
surrealistic pillow dreams
tickling my mind
with it's pleasure feathers.
Is Love just imagined
A mirage
A thirst in my deserted heart
Whetting my soul
Becoming a river
Of still waters.
Is Love just imagined
Hallucinagenic
Inhaled breaths
Of sweet spoken words
Digesting every syllable
wrapped in the vowels.
Is Love just imagined
the blurred reality
Of feelings endured
On sleepless nights
When the clanging alarm clock
wakes you from Love's slumber.

Write the words Poet...write the words.

BE

Love's imagination
crystal clear
awakened from the darkness
the ones that held me so tight
comforted me, supported me
crack of dawn showed me
clearly the mind's game.
Love's imagination
sends you soaring
higher than flown before
exploring beyond the boundaries
being comforted by the clouds
perhaps even blinded before
by the sun's brightness.
Love's imagination
Intoxicating as chocolate
making you crave
it's smoothness, sweetness
devouring more than healthy amounts
now just melted fascinations.

Love's imagination
the heartbeat
sometimes out of sync
dancing to seperate notes
out of tune with each other songs
un-harmonious love.
Love's imagination
the Soul's music
the guiding beat
that keeps our biorhythms
searching for the right melody
that makes Love's orchestra.

I see that some people are reading.

let me know how you feel, you like it, hate it, feel sorry for me (there is no need :) ), give me some feedback here.

Oh "Loved One", my sistah...I've read this peace several times...each time being so unable to articulate my true emotions. I enjoyed it from the start...felt it...and continue to love what you are doing with it...The piece...like life/love, is a work in progress...

keep taking it higher ~ I'm feelin you. Thank you.

:heart:

Thanks Alyce!

"Life is not measured by
the number of breaths we
take; but by the moments
that take our breath away"

each deep breath cleanses us,
with each inhale
more life comes to us.

Very nice, Thandiwe

Best one yet!!

You like this one best?! And you connect with most of my stuff. Well, you know friends are my source of inspiration. ;)

Welcome!

Feel free to add on, if you feel the flow...

For real I felt it! I was like dayum! ;)

Thandiwe ... i'm with on this too!

We're In Love!

Okay what is this poem about?

how ever you want to interpret it.

actually, it about how we can make up what we think is "love" in our own minds. Not always reality but what our imagination gives us. What sounds good, feels good may not even be there. Understand?

Thanks Destee!

Love is what keeps looking forward to loving...

Actually it has a lot of good wordplay, but it lacks a theme or central idea. By adding to iut, you add to the confusion as well, even if the intent is that love is confusing.

But it is nice enough, some of the lines could be longer too. I think that a lot of writers keep lines a little too simple.

that's what I was thinking when i saw your reply. I invited you to come and break it down, tear it apart.

And you're right, there is confusion....

I'll work on a rewrite.

Thandiwe ...

I've found that poetry isn't always about other folk feeling/seeing exactly what you are feeling and seeing. Oftentimes, you'll be in one place while they take your peace to another ... much to your surprise and delight. I've even seen where everyone who reads it gets a completely different vibe. Much like a scripture. You can read it one day and it does one thing for you and you read it the next and it does something completely different. Powerful stuff this poetry.

I wrote a peace about this very topic, you might wanna check it out:

don't have to know what's between the lines
of every poem, of every rhyme
all i know is you shared with me
a part of you so graciously
-------

graciously accepting
a part of another's experiences
sharing the moments
of their treasured remembrances.

:wink:
flow like only you can Sis!

Love to me is sometimes
an illusion -- a sort of Oasis
...a place where I'd like to be
but when I feel I get there ~
it's gone, or was it ever really
there in the first place?! Ya' know?!!

Loved this scribe - keep flowin'!

Thanks N2urSoul! Exactly - "a mirage"!

Working on some revisions...

Is Love just imagined, an un-reality
feelings not yet endured, just surrealistic pillow dreams
tickling my mind with it's pleasure feathers.

Is Love just imagined - a mirage
whetting the soul of my deserted heart
Thirst only to be fulfilled in a river of still waters.

Is love just imagined - intoxicating as chocolate
devoured dark, smooth, sweet delicacies
only to be left with craved fascinations.

Is Love just imagined - a hallucinagenic
Inhaled breaths of sweet spoken words,
a headtrip of flowing syllables wrapped in VOWels.

Is love just imagined - meant to send you soaring
taking flight higher than ever before
comforted by the clouds which once shielded the sun's brightness.

Is Love just imagined, the blurred reality
Of feelings endured on sleepless nights
loneliness arriving with the clanging alarm awakening you from Love's slumber.

Love's imagination - crystal clear
dawn's light shining brightly on the mind's game
that which held me tightly, comforted me in the darkness.

Love's imagination - out-of-sync heartbeats
two spirits sometimes dancing to separate songs
a duet of un-harmonious love.

Love's imagination - a Soul's music
the measure, the guiding beat, biorhythms
always listening for the melodies of Love's orchestra.

I like the 'ruff cut', but I mos' definitely love
the 'seasoned' version here!

Much love ~

blushing and stuff. Thanks for the love...

Truly,

Thandiwe

all mine!
