Poems - Coming Down

Coming Down

by Phoebe

As I lie down to sleep at night before I close my eyes
I look out of my window at the dark and distant skies
And in the silence of the night I turn my thoughts to you
And wonder if somewhere out there you’re thinking of me too

Within the confines of my mind I know my lover’s face
I “see” the colour of his eyes, by "touch" his lips I trace
I “feel” his body over me, his breath upon my skin
And through our heat, with each heart beat, I willingly give in

Time is of no essence here, the shadows are our friend
For in the kingdom of the mind there is no start, no end
All there is are heightened senses leading to somewhere
Knowing at the journey’s end are dreams beyond compare

Sighing deep, I turn to sleep and gently close my eyes
Softly on the winds of night my lonely spirit flies
Taking me to that somewhere, with dreams beyond compare
Where in my mind, I know I’ll find, him waiting for me there

~Phoebe~

the anonomous low rating scum that gave this piece one star is reflecting their own IQ .....only great masters of poetry have achieved this technical expertise and none with the flare and sensuality I see here......here are ten stars to help negate the effects of a mediocre mind.....peace

Phoebe - don't pay a bit of attention to the "anonymous" AS@#$$@ - always too cowardly to show who they really are!! This is a gorgeous poem of love - I especially love the line:

"For in the kingdom of the mind there is no start, no end"
GREAT line, great poem.

Sandy

    I'm so very appreciative of your comment my friend, you're absolutely right - and what carries me through rubbish like that is the support of those professional and talented poets like yourself who rise above that kind of stupidity and see the value and thought behind poetry that is posted. I've just had an exciting, inspiring and challenging experience of sharing the creation of a Poetic Duet with another professional and talented poet I admire immensely - just another wonderful treasure to add to my precious basket of my life...thank you so much for more than this comment..Smile - Phoebe

So sad someone gave you such a low score for a great poem. Gp has changed so much lately. there are some evil people on here, but also, some really nice people too.don't let them get you down. I don't mind, if I get a low rating, I thank them, for a low rating is better than nothing. and that's only their opinion. I know I'm good, so are you. that's all that matters keep your chin up. love and best wishes. Pete. LOL .

      The road to happiness is long and rough. But to walk it will pay off in the end. You will have decisions to make as x roads come up. But you will know the direction you need to take, as will he. My wife and I have been together 10+ years and married for 6 this October. it has not been an easy trip but we walk it together and it brings us closer and stronger. I send my wishes to you as you take this walk. Hugs and wonderful future, dAVE
