Your spell

Images dance across my silent canvas,
The backlog of my unwritten thoughts:

Your voice,
How perfectly it hugs my name
I almost smile, helplessly numb.

The elusive sensation of touch
Beyond the physical
That you evoke.

You flirt with my *Dancing Princess,
Wave a few stars aside
And make room for us.

Somewhere along the way
I must’ve slipped you the key to reach me,
I see you opening the door.


*Dancing Princess is a constellation I made. She can be seen this time of the year flowing her ball-gown in the eastern sky.

hey. happy new year to you too. it seems tht in this poem you're trying to convey a subtle message as usual. and as usual i feel tht it ends abruptly...leaves you wanting for what happened after.

N yet, I rue the moment
Wen I gave you the key
for though you reach me
you don't reach out to me...

just my crazy rambling:)

beautiful poem by the way!

i hardly ever like 'blog' poetry but this is lovely...esp this line:

Your voice,
How perfectly it hugs my name

and i love the imagery/visuals it creates; very, very good.
