The Water by Ing Twi Demalah

Cold and alone, a lake of glass
Rustling trees call softly her name
The chill air bites as the wind whips past
Is that her face upon the water
I see her face upon the water

Through my mind, dreams and memories pass
How much warmer will be the winter
When I can hold my love at last
I reach for her but touch the water
I reached out and touched the water

Oh pale moon and darkened skies
I will watch you through the night
Twinkling of the stars, like the twinkle in her eyes
They seem to dance within the water
The stars dance within the water.

Together only through imagination,
Only in dreams do I hold her close to me
Cold and alone, my only expectation
And now my eyes begin to water
From my eyes fall drops of water

Ing
Hey Ing! The last two repetitive lines of each stanza, shows loneliness and represents the longing and yearning you feel for that someone. I could truly feel the "love distance" felt in this... As always, the words are written with so much imagery...you allow the reader's imagination to take them to the place you write about! LOVELY!

Ing,we love the words expressed from ur heart we
isn't it amazin' how we convince ourselves that we're goin' to the river to be alone w/ourself and pass the moments reminiscin' on the special moments , then we realize the one we love has followed us there by way of our heart and the moments become fulfilled with passion, elegance and slow dances , their face a vision in the spring their eyes lookin' down at us from the sky, their voice echos in the quietness, like Adam and Eve we open up our eyes,findin' ourself all alone...take my advice sweetie always look at them with the eyes of ur heart they will never fade away nor seem sooo far away......this is soooo beautiful..i love it...(sniff...)

Sheer Loveliness
I thought this poem to be extravagantly elegant, beautiful, and precious as a pearl. I loved the way you "wrapped the water" into your poem so wonderfully, it almost felt as if I was touching the water myself at the moment I was reading. It was so beautiful Ing Twi Demalah. Keep writing.
