Heart Aloft

When it happens just so,

There it is.

There is nothing

To compare.

Heart Aloft

Buoyancy rises,

Lifting mists from brilliance

To cast its glow below

Abundantly.

A skylark sings

Whose tinseled wings

Catch sparkling rays of sun

Flickering through the vibrant air -

Brings joy to living,

Lends meaning

To the commonplace,

Bestowing grace upon it.

And here are we, a pair

To share this glowing moment,

At least for now, right here, -

'Least while we are together.

To me, now you are

Smooth and remote

As a caterpillar's wings;

Glossy and dim

As sunbeams

In the rain.

So fly to me

Again.

I'll never know

What might have been

If things had been

Another way, corrected.

What single thing

On a single day

Might otherwise be

If fate were redirectedi?

I'll never know the rest.

Why this tear in eye?

I can't deny my life is

The way it is,- the best.

As usually used,

The afternoon tea's

The thing.

Or is it the tease?

What fun, the sips

To savor;

What joy, the bits

Of flavor;

What whispers infused

The song and sting

Of unrequited love,

One misty rainy afternoon.

Canopies of trees,

Folds of silk chiffon,

Leaves and branches,

Stars above

Infused with memories.

How lost loves

Hide and seek

To have or shield

What's passed and gone

These days.

Comfort and caress

With tender fingertips

What's hidden underneath,

Where love resides, prevails

And stays.

I melt into you,

Unselfconsciously -

As usual,

For the joy of it.

Touching deeply,

Naturally connecting -

As always,

In the heat of it.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

I'm loving you

Without intention,

Or hesitation -

Just because I do.

I do! I almost shout it out!

A skylight’s

Opened in my heart,

Feeling right -

Expanding radiantly.

Cloud dancing

To the beat

We move in sync

From archives now.

Waves imbue

Old memories

In just a blink -

Transformed.

All is new and fresh

For me and you,

Enmeshed In tunes

Both past and new.

Enclaves appear

Within this space

To bring them near,

Assign a place.

Breathe softly, then,

Dispel no phantoms

Of these magic melodies,

Subtle rhythms here.

Shangri-la of the heart,

Moderate and mysterious

Is its totally delightful

Perfection of simplicity.

While crouching

In the shadows,

Elaboration hides and

Stalks its fatal secret.
