The Sweet Melodious Sound of Poetry fills the Air
by Manuel A. Luna-Murray
Listening to the rhythms
of the sound of your breath
as you inhale pensive thoughts
and exhale beautiful poetic gems
I’m struck by the sudden realization
that I have fallen in love
I’m in love with the whooshing /ws/
that crackle the air with energy
in words such as:
Woman, Warrior, and Wife
the friend and companion of my noble life
The splashing sounds of /sh’s/
drown me in the cleansing tide
of nature’s lyrical tune
in pearls of wisdom by the name of:
Shelter, Shoulder, and Sharing
my days with someone who is caring
and whose love makes the shrine of my life
shine brightly in the shade of my soul
Your sweet voice
encompasses all the myriad
sounds of language
in a simultaneous cascade
of loving desire
As your vocal caresses
tickle my ears’ tympanic membrane
hugs my cheekbones
slides across my tongue
fills my lungs
and swims through my bloodstream
on its way to my heart’s epicenter
It is there that your lyrical poetry
meets my fanciful reason
in an avant-garde dance of unimaginable bliss
Such bliss enslaves
the world by molding it
into the shackles of joy
Spreading peaceful reminisces
irrigated by variegated
flower strands
encircling the globe

Un blog que explorara una variedad de temas con la intención de educar, entretener, captivar, animar y concientizar al lector a través de la escritura y expresión audio-visual. El principal vehículo de tal expresión será la Poesía y el Ensayo pero otros tipos de escritura, incluyendo la ficción, tendrán su lugar de vez en cuando.
