“Poems for Lovers Loving & Being Loved”
***
Intro
“i heard you sing” is an original love poem i just wrote today finishing my selections for my next ebook, “Lovers Loving & Being Loved,” due out in a week or so
happily i also received an email from the poetry site dVersepoets, which provides different prompts poets are welcome to, respond and post a link to, on their site
typically, that sort of stuff doesn’t appeal to me, but the initiating essays for each prompt, written by different contributing working poets, are consistently unusually well writ, informative, and sometimes downright entertaining 😉
so i’m willing to “try” and contribute…
*
The Prompt
in this case, the title of the essay is “Form For All – Ballads, Carols, and Lullabyes”
my cue, from the article, for the ok for my own poem, i’ve decided 😉 is :
“Some Carols such as Joseph Was An Old Man were definitely popular belonging to the culture of the ‘folk’; while later ones such as Charles Wesley’s Hark the Herald Angels Sing are the product of more sophisticated literary efforts…”
*
Yoga
mine is probably closer to the culture of the folk, though my sentiment is definitely tied to a sense of finding deeper meaning
despite some schools of yoga off-putting human experience, i tend more to the idea that if all is really one, then our experiences here, have value elsewhere, and will be carried forward, however that might be
and yoga’s true gift to me, awareness, is what’s helped clarify that general perception i’ve had, for much of a long time
i hope you enjoy the poem 😉
namaste´- con dios – god be with you

I Heard You Sing
and
i found myself
needing a breath
more air
more clarity
more you
*
waves of feelings
from your words
formed
with so much
music
music of you
*
carrying me
home
where home
is
scented and warm
my heart cooking
baking
with you
*
i heard you sing
my eyes to tears
my smiles to miles
yes
i hear you sing

I love the music and the story in this. I was taught the breathing exercises of yoga when I was in school. I have fallen back on them if not all the positions throughout my life. There is in the senses, sensuousness of the discipline that comes close to the same elevation one feels making music as you have here. Really well done!

gay, what a beautiful analysis, thank you!
your observation about yoga & breathing is spot on – it’s not that none of us ever breathed or even breathed well before knowing of yoga (i ran track, played an instrument, and sang at church etc – which demands breath training effort) but that yoga makes one, or me at least, more aware
thanks so much for coming by and leaving your note, i appreciate it 😉

There is a beautiful flow and grace to this–a feeling of well-bieng. Images of baking and music create a warm feeling that, I think, fits the prompt.

thanks so much victoria, i appreciate that 😉
your poem, “keeper of memories,” i see, also deals with scents and smell, powerful stuff
esp liked,
“trembling…
unwanted company of his later years,
…the lid open on its wobbly hinges”
and
“remembering…evenings
spent upon the porch in twilight murmurings”
nice! thanks again 😉
