Everything around me went dark.
The light she sparkled was like the sunrise,
while moving counter clockwise she spoke softly;
โto a drip of tear, to a sniff of cry, I seek for thou eye.โ
Let me hold your heart,
let me kiss your smile,
let me feel your grace,
for Iโm chanting my soul to your known โfaire la bise.โ
Crossing my mind to behold my wish with the wise,
I scream for your attention into the bluest skies.
without
the
truth
we
have
none
more
than
the spoken lies.
For I speak to love,
For I share my heart,
For I grant you my thoughts,
Let me say โI love you.โ
from the beginning of earth endwise.

‘for Iโm chanting my soul to your known โfaire la bise.โ’ I love this, I feel like it’s the core of the poem somehow, and I find it has a kind of deeper meaning, what with Covid here in France no one can “faire la bise” (cheek-kiss greeting) anymore… the poem feels of imposed or implied distancing, and deepest yearning, and a kind of free spiritedness which is sensual but also very sweet. What a poetic treat, I loved the part where it falls down word by word and ends much the way it began, with the earth and the spinning and counterclockwise, like she is the earth. And the seeming implied hint of endworld… so beautiful Jojo ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ป๐๐ซ๐คฉ

Pfff, Lia….. Lia.. Lia๐๐
First things first: WOWโค๏ธ๐๐ฝ this comment is heartwarming to my soul, thank you โค๏ธ
Secondly, “faire la bise” was the core sentence of the whole poem indeed.
I just don’t know what to say, the emotions and feelings you got from my poem. WOW.
It’s funny you mentioned the “words falling down part. Word by word”… I was really hoping if it would work, the whole poetry was just me connected with the words. And didn’t think about the “set up”. It was just emotions dancing through my body into words.
Ughh don’t know where to start๐, i love your whole comment ๐๐๐๐
Thank you so much, Liaโค๏ธ

I sometimes feel that I really am a kid, that is getting to read your poem and as a childish soul maybe I don’t know what to write but trust me I am getting to feel your every poems, like some are so near to my heart, like I always reread your poems all those which I’ve added to my favourites, and whenever I get some time free I write it down in my diary beholding your name yes, I kiss it’s page and I hug that book, cuz you know your poems as usual I’ve told soothes my soul, like an calm music wandering into my veins to make a smile on my face, and also like I just perfumed my body with your poems words which reflects the happiness all inside out!! I really do love your writings a lot poet sir, believe me I really do. Thank you so much for writing those and sharing those with me, yes won’t add anyone as ” us ” but only with me. Your poems are mine ๐โคโคโค
