Read MoreMidsummer season on my wintry lips, these modern symptoms from antiquated sorrows. The sunlight of acceptance, and midnight of isolation. Youthful blushes and the wrinkles of experience, I have the free will to question my fate. This wealth of imagination, and the poverty of my reality. The...

Daniel this is sublime in its dark vision. You have so much to say in your poem here and I for one am really liking what you wrote. Though dark it has a flow that is mesmerizing.

Well I don’t think any woman would know what to say after reading THIS, and it surprises me as I read your poetry how much alike we seem to express poetry, love and nature all together in oneness. This is beyond gorgeous… though it paint such a vivid imagery of flesh, but it goes deeper than this, speaking of a higher love as it flows through everything. Outstanding, magnificent and simply Breathtaking… Nirvana and “come as You are” perfect words for such poem… Thank You!

AAAWWWW!! And now I am blushing again. Light, what is “gorgeous”, is your comment.
And I must also apologize, I have not read enough of your words to get to know your poetic expressions and beliefs. Something I will correct. My only excuse is that I am new here at SR and just beginning to feel my way around and reading the poetry here. Poor excuse at that.
But I do agree and I am glad you see that we humans are capable of so much more than we are at present. We have the capacity of great love and understanding of everything around us, how we are both individuals and connected at the same time. We are small when compared to the world around us, and yet what and who we are can determine the fate of our existence. I think poetry should communicate this as well as be the center of how we shout against all oppression.
Anyway, a much larger conversation. Thank you so much for your kindness and your comment on this poem, Light

Amethyste is my birthstone, so I had to come and read something written by you. I am most definitely not disappointed!! You and Jim’s Music spoke to the desires of millions of people who want and need such a world. Count me as one of them. Your poem reminded me of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Really cool collaborating.
