Falling

Invisible nacre fibres woven around the heart
the weight of you fallen upon me anchored deep.
Grace tranquility serentiy flows as a meandering stream.
Your wings outstretched brushed gently against my waiting soul


 Falling to earth is something I have been doingfor many years now my feet still not touchedterrafirma. My heart flies amongst theconstellations still My robes I have none just madeof rainbow Stars that glimmersometimes bright blindingother times dull My trajectory is pulled by invisible chords amelody played by a comet afar thenotes draw me closer bar by bar I have been swathed in the mantle of the forestgreen and by the water of meanderingstreams sunlight dancing diamondsshine ever onwards all are mine The pulse of life is plucked byfingers invisible on thestrings of naturesorchestra I travel through the intersection of space andtime endlessly interlaced with destinationsunknown I follow that star shining brightinto the early morning light

Dear Ms. Robinson,

Is your name Margaret? This poem is full of exceptional images, such as, "the water of meandering", "draw me closer bar by bar" and "[t]he pulse of life is plucked". Your are making changes and growing. For that, here are my 5 stars. Congradulations! Brian

This poem shows a vivid

This poem shows a vivid imagination that is highly developed. A key componant of poetry. The ability to see things in metaphor.The only point that blew me a tad leeward was the seemingly ambiguous "weight of you fallen upon me" to me it was sending a contradictory feeling as the sense of flying is implying a possitive feeling. I understand the grounding prinsiple but I still feel it a shade awkward. My best, and congrats on this fine write. Barry ...o..

Barry O The sence of Falling was of a person falling upon me in the weight of and also the intence feelings being received if that makes any sense? Yes I have a vivid imagination maybe being an artist too i see the slightest thing hidden from view but I know it is there. Thank you for your comments I am learning so much from all of you on this site so please let me know in the future about all these things. As I never plan to write anything just stream until it is done. always Electric Blue

Dear Maggie,

some of us are destined to fly. You fly elegantly and have, as usual, brought wonderful images with you. A couple of things could still be tidied up in this poem, but it makes for a wonderful read nonetheless. A couple of suggestions, if I may be so bold: Invisible nacre fibres woven around the heart the weight of you fallen upon me, anchored deep Grace, tranquility, serenity flow as a meandering stream Your wings, outstretched, brushed gently against my waiting soul Falling to earth is something I have been doing for many years now my feet still not touched terrafirma My heart flies amongst the constellations still My robes - I have none - are just made of rainbow Stars that glimmer sometimes bright, blinding other times dull My trajectory is pulled by invisible chords a melody played by a comet afar the notes draw me closer bar by bar I have been swathed in the mantle of the forest green and by the water of meandering streams sunlight, dancing diamonds shine ever onwards all are mine The pulse of life is plucked by fingers invisible on the strings of nature's orchestra I travel through the intersection of space and time endlessly interlaced with destinations unknown I follow that star shining bright into the early morning light Hope you are having wonderful holidays, dear one. Yours, ~Nina

Lady Jayne Yes I have seen Nina's comments and it is written as she has put it but it did not fall right on the page for me re the way i write my verse etc. visually to me it did not sit well but i agree if you look again and see what i mean about Nina's version some lines are long some are short etc Tell me what you think when you look again thanks to both of you always blue

Wrote a poem similar

we had fireworks down at the waterfront the Olympic torch came through I just sat on the couch and watched through the blinds but then I started to remember the scent of the ignition powder and then it reminded me of the bars and women and bottles of alcohol and bottles of perfumes all my old great loves and I keep thinking that its the heart that is entertained and the wrist as opposed to the Tin Heart on the Sleeve like bracelets of old for wealth or Celts with their silver I love your poem and as an artist too I can see the images come alive vibrant or subtle I like the title thank you Electric Blue
