Konrad’s Journal – Thoughts Alone

Now, now, she has me wondering,
and I am not good
at introspection.

This morning's dream faded with Xcanatun’s mists;
it was only a tree, but I am sure,
…I was sure,
if I crossed the bridge, this other one
would be there, in the shadows, waiting…

still…

I had once thought Dana my life, the one
I would hang my hopes upon,
when stars in her eyes would light
my way, her laughter’s voice
to be my blanket;
but I had thought…

Wrong.

Now, the one who came
in search, still searches, for I sense her trembling
still wavering in the air…and the air moves
with her spirit…it will not leave this place,

I feel her, I just can’t
see her.

She once thought me
a fantasy of her mind, but truth be told,
here I am.
She has become my own
flight of imagination.  Somehow,
I feel warmer
in the memory of her smile
for I memorized it, in whole.

She is not beautiful,
only hauntingly handsome.  She would
shake her head, smiling, blushing, if she knew
her conquest.

I saw the iris of chameleon green eyes
transform with colors,
forever pupils widen into bedroom eyes,
even in a southern morning’s brightest light…
when her thoughts were somewhere else…
when she touched the past,
scarring my dreams
lightly.

I heard her laugh.

I heard her voice so throaty, so…
husky, and I hungered then, and now,
for the right words
to be spilled over me.

I was right then, and now, believing it better
than chocolate silk…

and for a moment, crossing that bridge
brought to mind
thoughts of Brigadoon…

perhaps I need to believe
just a little bit more

that all things
are possible.

Somehow, I envision her
doing the same.

Do wishes count?
Does hope bring about
reality?  When will I stop asking questions?

Do I dare try again
to cross the bridge
with my heart wide open?

I listen for Iambe’s voice.  I’ll sit in the shadows
until I feel her kick.

Even though I know what she’d say.

that was very deep and spiritual...

  i do not think we should spend much time on asking questions of unspecified answers or recall much of the past... however, i know how i could be helpless about doing that sometimes...

  take care.

Yes!!  I thought the same thing when I saw the picture last night...

When Konrad arrives on the scene...

Magic happens.

What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin.

her laughter’s voice
to be my blanket;

===================

love that personifi!!

I heard her voice so throaty, so…
husky, and I hungered then, and now,
for the right words
to be spilled over me.

yessssss....the right words....
we all hunger to hear the right words.
Konrad is walking in the sun now

I love you more the further I go ...
before this existence ... you were always here inside of me.

Your words have a powerful draw of attraction and emotion.
