This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem, to me, expresses the questions that many of us must have felt when meeting flames, on a journey that by its nature must relinquish one moment to the next. The second and third lines, I particularly like. You express so well the feeling of being "forever, for now"
"Can we stand hand in hand at peace with the understanding of time in this moonlight?". Brilliant!

You need to do the editing yourself and not rely on word/ or whatever processing program you use... because it will always capitalize the first word of a sentnece when many times it should not be that way in poetry- Also you need to cut out some words because this is not a metered piece so many times less is more...







I see your reflection upon waters, still and tranquil.

Are you my love, my life, my soul mate? Do I dare to dream?

Can we stand hand in hand at peace, understanding time in this moonlight?

Or will the cold winds of change blow upon our earthly spirits?

Would this change our intimacy, to the discomfort of being apart,

like ripples betraying still waters. Will you stay with me,

or run for shelter on the nearby shores?

That voice will always call your name.

If I dare show you my heart, will you cherish the passion it would bring?

Or will you slowly destroy the life within, with promises that will never be?

When I fall will you extend your inner spirit to catch my worthlessness,

or cast me aside to be forgotten,

only to replenish yourself with the winds of change.

deepwater: Have I mentioned that I'm really enjoying reading your words? They are beautiful, original, deep, mature. And, you are equally handsome. . .oh, don't blush; you've heard that before, I'm sure. livelylinda

This poem seems to be seeking the commitment that one wishes will last through all the sea changes experienced in the course of a relationship. The good times and bad met together. These are some sensitive and meaningful inquiries of one's heart. Nicely put.
