Whole

I glimpse your eyes staring at the shadows in my soul
Seeking to calm the wildly rushing storm
Keeping my heart out of control
Unable to keep
The beat
Pulsating whole

I stare into eyes seeking to calm the storms
To make my heart their own
Leaving chambers once cold now warm
My heart begins to pulsate
To the beat
Of a song, its always known

Buried longings softly rush, to be finally freed
From this heart out of control
Once a half now pulsates complete
Your eyes chase shadows
Calming storms,
My heart
Returns to whole

This is lovely writing,, melodious and touching in its simple expression of unaffected love... The clever structure of each verse enabled the writing to have strength and control - maybe fitting for a poem with control as its theme...but enabling the central image of calming and freeing the storm of feeings to work so well...

I'm sorry I'm analysing... I see from your Author's note that you are more interested to know if such writing touches the soul.... It does.

So very, very lovely. Thank God for those who are able to pull us out of ourselves. The fluidity of this piece is incredible and the poem its self rife with meaning.

[Liza]

it is quite amazing to see a pair of eyes reflecting on us at a deeper level, this was profound; some may run away or lift their face to the sun...
