December offers her comfort,
an amorous embrace, subtle,
yet laden with an inkling of urgency.
The vanilla sky opened to the precipice
of an unending love; a reverent genuflect
to hearts so entrusted, calloused and crusted
through the years . But our mission remained
unconditional and unbridled; stoking desire’s fire.
Forged on the burning bark of the Tree of Life
to rest on the trivet of passion’s longing.
THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET'S HEART
My heart envisions what my eyes refuse to see. ~Poet Walter J Wojtanik
Welcome to The Sunday Whirl! You’re a natural!
This is profoundly Beautiful, Walt…………….I can’t even tell you how so………!
Wonderful work as always, great use of the wordle words!
So glad to see you wordling, Walt! I really enjoyed this.
Welcome to the Whirl, Walt. Excellent work with these buggers. Your images and phrasing evoke love and beauty. Well wordled.
I do like that “burning bark of the tree of life”.
Nice to see your smiling face around the wordle.
A pleasant surprise to find you wordling, Walt. And with such a beautiful, unforced poem to delight us, too.
12/5/11, am: Loved your latest on PA pg, Walt; they were like little stocking stuffers; “Christmas lights twinkle…” inspires me to put up my little Christmas tree—with a smile—!
Terrific first wordle, Walt – a poem full of zest and heat. Well done. 🙂
When one writes a first wordle, it should be created thus. It should flow. It should make sense. It should create images and touch the heart. All this you did with the most difficult words I have seen so far. I cannot wait to see what you do with future wordles.
“To rest on the trivet of passion’s longing” is a spectacular line. You’ve written a lovely love poem with those unruly wordle words!
The vanilla sky opened to the precipice
of an unending love, love this line, wonderful wordle
12/7/11: “While You Were Gone”: ………I feel your pain………..just take it nice and slow…..and Breathe………there is no rush………….slow and steady, so you may be sure…………..
17/8/11: “The Plants are Dead”: Oh my, I didn’t know whether to LOL or cry out loud.
12/8/11: “While You’ve Been Gone”: Sad…………and beautiful………that is life…….
Loved “to rest on the trivet of heart’s desire…” and “vanilla sky” has never been used to such great effect (and that includes the awful Tom Cruise movie, Paul’s song was good, though!)
Walt, you are really strong on all fronts here. Touching, romantic, bittersweet. Lovely. Peace, Amy (and here’s my take):
