POEM in Response to~Gooseberry Garden Poetry-Picnic-Week-7~Love's Nothingness

-

And then I see you,

not your image,

but you yourself outlined,

smiling quietly, you descend -

I wait , trying to comprehend your vision-

your thoughts take a form and enter my world forlorn,

I have no way to stop or hold

the charming intrusion,

I just feel the emptiness,

filled with silence, cold-

I reach out, only to touch

Nothingness-

Behold!

I am engulfed in the fold

of a soft serene essence tender, misty , comforting,

a sense unexplained, untold

is it real or is it a dream

I think, I try , I begin to cry

and drown into a tingling numbness.

Ah! Love's First and Last Visit

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
