Aleksandra Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Before the sun was up he had opened a window. Birds, insects, dogs, and cars from far away were making sounds in his silent summer night. The water was slipping into his throat in this naked silence. The countryside was asleep like every other night. But tonight, I took his eyes to look through his window, to hear the dogs while everyone was sleeping, even he, now, while I give lyrics to this sound of the night during my clear, chilly morning. Everyone else is asleep, and we love the silence around us with just dogs barking far away and birds so near my window. Before the sun comes up he hears the sounds of the night. Birds, insects, dogs, and far away cars are all that matter in this silent night.

David W. Parsley Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Aleksandra, you capture the feel of a wakeful summer night and combine it with the longing and sense of shared existence unique to everone who has ever loved and known the pain of separation. The kind of love in which the self is lost in an awareness of Us-ness. Thank You, - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 hi aleks you know i love your poetry. i am rereading and have a few things to say my friend. you are so deep with your words as per usual (always). falling in love is a beautiful thing. but unless you give a 1000 percent expecting nothing in return it falls a part quickly. victor Quote Larsen M.

Tinker Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Aleks, I love this, love this, love this. It is so beautiful, a real life love poem. Love brought to life by barking and singing birds.
