    tasting the lingering thought of you

    wildly adoring your spirit i drink
    your passion in deep gulps of yes;

    your name rolls off my tongue
    in velvet smooth tenderness.

    and what to say love, that i love,
    or do not love, that we love, or do not;

    is it not love when souls dance
    upon the moment of now;

    entangling themselves as they whisper,
    entranced in the everything and nothing?

    for who can define or assign
    degrees to something so vast,

    as if it had form
    with its meaning,

    as if a word
    could be heavy or light;

    as if passion could be engulfed
    in only four letters.

    of all i breathe
    it is your soul i wish to inhale,

    in all i see, it is you
    that forms before my eyes.

    you color my world in prisms of wonder,
    and i find myself stunned by your beauty.

    I love this it has an aura about it, a truth in some cases. It's totally awsome

    Even the word "Outstanding!" is too much not enough for its perfect beauty. It is its own light. "Wonderful!" sounds heavy and clunky before this winged bird.

    'deep gulps of yes' Wow! I love your poetry. It's tactile.

    Whoa. Okay, you are seriously under rated on here, at least in my opinion. Great message behind this one, as well as the imagery.

    mmm... thats delightful/ thumbs up poet.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
