Stunning write M, you have such a unique take on things and come up with some absolute gold at times.
Loved the "once a wish twinkles" and I'd have to agree. It's like opening a can of worms, but like...um...glittery ones haha
Hard to lose hope for sure...so much so, you've reiterated that again at the end. Your poetry always engages the reader, at times in a mystical way, or not. Whatever the case, I always find myself reading it twice so you're DOUBLE the work, mate LOL
And hey...heaven is ALWAYS where you are! Great write.

I liked your focus on "hope" and "ecstasy". Here's to the "twinkles" and "quarter moon's promise," which your superb, animated artwork selection reinforces! Big smiles- Joan

    twinkle twinkle lil' star....how I wonder where you are...in this night so dark with sight...second guessing questions light.....grasping faith with all his might....believing in the brightness of life....erudite twinkles, twinkles like a lil' star.... there ya go...and a bag of chips too. -smile- love you michael
reply by Joan E. on 15-Sep-2016
    Thanks for more twinkles--I need all of them I can get. Our new car was "stoned" by rocks from a truck, and the windshield is so high tech it had to be special ordered and won't be in until Friday! The evil omen brought new pains to my other side!! I know this too shall pass but it's a bummer at the moment. Take good care of yourself- Joan

I really loved this. Yes. You have the heart of a poet and I can only whish, not to mention pray treat it spills into all aspects of your life.

Hey, Michael. Excellent poetry here and I wish I still had some sixers left because this poetry is deserving, believe me.

You have a way with words for sure. Like here for instance:

:heaven is wherever we are
dancing entwined in slow lullaby's
dream become alive."

Wow! Good job. brilliant. Bob

This is one tender and beautiful love song. I like love songs. I especially liked the strong imagery and the way the words chime in perfect harmony... like a bell choir, blending and singing delicately, creating lovely internal music.

I could not figure out how the title came to be... perhaps that is a secret for you and your beloved, but your poetry is always intriguing anyway, so I'm growing accustomed.

My favorite line: "mind says heartbeats/ life is breathe deep... ecstasy." (Does heartbeats need an apostrophe? Depends on your meaning there.) But this is a line that exemplifies the ringing of the vowel sounds in the words... very beautifully done. ~M

    -smile-...me too.
    all love songs come from internal music. has to be felt before its sung. Hey Meadow....you made me very happy today. enriched by a morning kiss. ah I dont know what happened with the L...I changed though....thank you...no ...I'm not a big fan of May 1st. its humiliating that I have to open for him...-headshake-...someday....someday Meadow....I'm gonna headline...-headnod-....I dont know if "heartbeats" needs an apostrophe...why in the world would you ask me...? -headtilt-...Meadow...you know me-....-smile-...love you Michael

Hi Michael,
This has a wistfulness I really liked. Like a slow dance unfolding to the music played...the loops into the ever after touch that specialness of one..
Your unique to you pen has changed since I was reviewing...I like the progression and growth in your writing. For that I give a six, for it is that inner growth in our writing that allows the poet to bloom. Nicely done my friend.
Hugs
