Eyes speak of cloudburst
as they move over mine


all that waits behind them
intent to warm with gaze
pockets of gold
laughter fills
penniless fortune

Chocolate tastes
molten brown
to match the curl of your hair
falling in tamed waves
over unkissed brow
silk upon lip
~
I linger

Something as wild
unpredictable
twin to love

You remind me of the ocean

The way
she made me fall in love
with her

Fascination pulls magnetic me
to her
soft floors of ocean

I never trusted her

each forceful layer
of free water

but she tricks into submission

and I
don't mind


may she wear upon my aura shell

do her worst

I never wanted to fall in love with you

She
will not let me drink
and if I do
claims me
chokes me
'til I drown

Sipping your eyes
let me look away
before you claim mine
and I yours.

Good God gem . . .
this made me tear up
what a masterpiece
ohh to compare this with the ocean
just brilliant and you
missy
are blazing yourself
quite nicely
This is perfection
just ultimate bittersweet

"I never wanted to fall in love with you"

I understand that feeling completly.

I am so glad I didnt miss this impressive offering...you really have taken your poetry to a higher level with this soulful write.

If you wonder why the earth moves ... this is me missing you."

Aaaaargh! What do I say to all these beautiful replies? God, you've got me feeling all overwhelmed.

Just, Thankyou, each reply really touches me, you're all too kind my pretties.

I don't know what made me remember the beauty of falling in love amidst all my anguish over it yesterday. But it was good to remember, and feeeel again.

I suppose I just realised as much as I fear love like I do the sea, I love it more, and feel drawn to it. I don't trust the sea, but have always loved her, much like I do love, and him, the one who capsized me boat! Falling in love is risky, but you can't stop it. Much like waves coming in over sandcastles you'v just bloody well made! sighhhhh. Do I HAVE to love him always? me mother says I will, and i think she's right.

I'll finish rambling now, like a freak, i make no sense, but i know what i mean!

Kisses to you all.
