We walked under sun-kissed leaves, speaking, breathing each other!. We sang inside moonlit towers, longing, searching for freedom!. And she was beautiful!. We laughed over sparkling waters, shouting, living our love!. We danced beyond twilight reason, burning, freezing with desire!. And she was beautiful!. I watched above the moment, wishing, hoping for truth!. She was beautiful !.!.!.and I was naive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Very beautiful, reflective poem with the loveliest of imagery defining a love lived, danced and sung!. The words leave me in awe, they are that effective!. The end is a bit different and enigmatic, almost bittersweet in an otherwise exquisite poem of love!. I love it!. Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com That was a zinger! There's more here than meets the eye, although it might not have anything to do with the gist of the poem!. I too "laughed over sparkling waters!." Were they at Niagara Falls, or just having a club soda at the mall!? That caused me to consider "sun-kissed roads!." Could they have been in an orange grove!? also, you probably did not intend this, but the reference to "towers" still causes my stomach to tighten!. I actually saw the plane crashing into the second tower!. It is a memory from which I will never escape!. Aside from that, it's a jewel of a poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I get somewhat confusseled at this one!. I read it as being written by you, and you are walking with him, so I am assuming the She in she is beautiful is someone on the sideline, and in the end winds up with him!. Or you are writing from his perspective of a woman who uses and tosses him away!. Either way, it is well done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I read it as you are writing about yourself and stepping outside of yourself at the same time!. You are writing in the present about the past or what just was!. You were naive, but so is love at times!. Very good poem!. I enjoyed it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Great last line! Naivete, the lack of experience and judgment to understand a situation!. The opposite of wisdom!. Beautiful imagery in this poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Very nice!. The ending was more a reflection of lack of direction, of knowing what to do as I read it!. Well done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com "Johnny come lately" Yes this happens, Yet the fella is usually a dancer, not naive at all!. To my way of thinking anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Poor fella! I love the poem and unfortunately it does happen this way sometimes!.!.!.from both sides of the coin, of course!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
