In your arms..


I stretch my arms and hold my breath,
Pour eternity within my grasp.
I long for the tune of your sacred stillness
Find silence in my chaos.

I am a speck of time untold,
The tiniest grain of sand.
Sweep me into your bursting void
Let me die gently, in your arms.

Reminds me of John Denver's 'You fill up my senses'.

Pretty phrases, R, but,it is a collage of images; incoherent, inchoate. Weave your images and words easily, simply and elegantly. You have the silk yarn; all you need is a pattern to work on.

Yesterday when I made a few suggestions on a blog about her writings and photos, another friend of hers came to her defense like a snarling cat, saying that the writer has every freedom to write whatever he/she wants.

So, don't take my above comment as a harsh criticism or trying to tell you how to write a poem. What I said may be wrong, but it is just an opinion, not a judgement.

I am not sure these days whether I should stick to simple superlatives in my comments!

Oh no , no Mr B...i don't mind it at all...

I suppose it might be little incoherent..i was not thinking of all that while writing , there was no , editing , re-writing , nothing..it was just straight out of my head..

I get what you're saying..will try to work on it from next time!!

And come on , Mr B , any criticism from you , however harsh, is always welcome..
