Safe Away

 

 "SAFE AWAY" ANN 

 

Safe away from probing eyes

Where I may love you as I will

Without a difficult disguise

What joys you give me still.

 

The rain pelts down upon the lake

The thunder roars and shoots

Its coloured lights of burning fire

To wetten all the roots.

 

Green Summer smiles and grows afresh

Laughing at our fears

The water rushes, gushes, flows

A music to the ears.

 

Oh! Poetry you come again!

When all, I thought was dead

Because of love you blossom forth

And joy spins in my head.

 

If I can dikt it must be badly

I have caught the love-sick ill

For I can dance with words quite madly

Catch them at my will.

Ann

I loved this piece. It's so beautiful. After reading this poem I'm ready to fall in love with somebody. But, with my luck I would need you to write me a book. Enjoy your love. It's wonderful.

Bridges of love

I have just commented on the poem of your losses and that seems to be at the other end of the scale of experiences we have in life. But the love one has within one can also be used when in grief, one has loved, and the love those who have gone gave to you is always there with you and can be enjoyed even when they are not present....? I give you my book of life, my fathers advice, in short, when I asked hi he said "Hurry slowly", it is my constant companion and fits to almost everything. Happy that you liked it, its a long time ago and much water has flown under the bridge of love since then - you here on Neopoets are the first to see it at all. Yours Ann of Norway

Ah you gorgeous one, this is

Ah you gorgeous one, this is fabulous, truly wonderful I especially love the way you wrap it up. I know you well in this poem & I know you are like this. You dance with me sometimes across all this distance dearest Ann & I am so glad to have come to know you through your wonderful wordiness. This poem has many undercurrents & little eddies of distraction where one might return & dwell & yet it bowls on like a bold firefly on initial read. I want to revisit, with pleasure, regularly Lovely Ann Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ideas, language, and even the phrase, "each other" doesn't make any sense."
