    Poem Commentary

    Aint love grand

    Emotions to a Distant Shore.

     

     A single letter is as naked and vulnerable as the virgin white page

    The thrust of sentiment comes from the streams that forge the channel

    Could it be the start of lover's dreams to slip letters between sheets?

    Letters ink warming thoughts to sentiment received and understood

    Messages replenish veins of emotion once thought dry adding power

    Racing imagery floods deltas on the barren landscape on which I write

    Can this bridge of emotions cross to distant shore nurture raw sensations?

    Could seeds fertilised on fertile soil blossom into an unsullied rose?

    A sea meant to be crossed/ by this vessel of words sails for yonder shore

    One fears this construction may founder and perish on the rocks of reality

    Yes to pour sensations from a heart threatens a jagged moment of risks

    Sirens sound yet deafness befalls a fools ear his plundered soul lost, devoured

    Yes to reach out in this world/ for your moment of happiness/ is a must

    For that hand to be held by her with such tenderness starts with a single letter

    Thanks for your kind words and the heads up on the font

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
