Mr. M Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Nectar and Dew I do not recall Which is really better; The sunrise sparkling In your morning eyes Or desire’s dew drops set Upon your midnight lips. But I do remember Your love and its size And the nectar Of my soul it sips. But then again, I have to wonder, Between the nectar and dew, Which is really most unfettered And which is, Really, I or you. © 2005 by the Western Virginia Foundation for the Arts and Sciences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandra Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Michael, what a nice poem. Full with expressions what I like: The sunrise sparkling In your morning eyes Or desire’s dew drops set Upon your midnight lips. Sounds wonderful and so lovely, emotional. The end is very deep and confusing and I love that part too. Thank you for sharing and so nice to see you around Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenlangur Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hello Mr. M, Your use of some unusual and striking images make this poem of longing an unforgettable read: "midnight lips, Your love and its size" - particularly love the idea of the "size of love" - something immeasurable made measurable. Ah! the way poetry can extend boundaries! Excellent! goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.

Mr. M Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 The end is very deep and confusing and I love that part too. One of the arguments I always have with a woman is the age old "I love you more" thing. A playful sort of dissagreement as WHO REALLY CARES? But it is so much fun none the less...hehe Te Cakem Aleks, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
