Is it her lines that vanish at the end of the photograph, that only captures part of her and only for a moment as if she is a wild beast that cannot be caged by color and paper?

Is it her eye’s that tell a story so sad and happy, that I am more than willing to hear her words and let them carry me into feeling that I have not had for some time?

Is it her age, that is closer to my children that my own, and yet at time’s she is wiser than I, with all my years of life lived?

What is it that this dark flower stirs in me, that I find brightens my life so much? When yet, she is not as dark as she appears to be?

she sounds like a goddess....that would surely inspire me to write. this is so elegantly beautiful, yet a bit sad for some reason.

I had just found out she may not live through the next year.

Oh, goodness.. this is so very elegant, in its quiet way.. I saw it almost like a message in a bottle, bobbing stubbornly over indignant waves.. I feel as though I've been hushed. Welcome to DarkPoetry. This is amazing, thank you.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I could spend all day complementing the eloquence, the sheer JOYOUS light of this poem. But let me sum it all up with a heart-felt...*sigh* Just gorgous, man.

My only criticism: I believe you ment *with all my years of LIFE lived* and not *live* I may be mistaken.

You are correct, that’s exactly what I wanted to say (I fixed it now), and all I can say is I try..

its such a great feeling, now to harness it some more? BTW Thanks

Cool piece man, love is a powerful emotion. As a far as creating literature and poetry is concerned, just write about what you know, and what you feel, if it means something to you, that is all that matters.

I think you can only write about what you know or what you want to know about, thanks for the kind words.
