Velvet to my heart
The way your spirit grazes past my conscious thought
Firing off memories in roller coaster romp
Catching on the wind that fleets my ribs
Each breath a double take

The lost and found of fragments
Peeled and repealed, bound only in their magic
Smoothing surfaces left roughed as cedar stud
Somewhere within the rooms built on dreams
Hallways that I often walk it seems

Attentive to the soothe
The whisper of your presence etched in groove
That turns me at the shoulders just to hear
Such pictures reverberated in my sighs
Dumbfounded by a welcome prized

The love we make
Seems stilled at the crescendo mark
A point of pinnacle in endless spark
Where I look deep into your eyes and see the birth of stars
Blazing with desire melting Venus into Mars

Your very soul to hover its transcendence
Balancing the edge of scream and mine the trampoline
Free verse in sight unseen and carved somehow a timeless vow
Contentment in my mind, to know that I am blind
And every thought the honor of a love I always hoped to find

Kathleen, I particularly liked these lines.  The whole poem was great!   ...jo

This Diamond,
    Sometimes the silence expresses the most.
I love this line:
       "The way your spirit grazes past my conscious thought"

words which meld the mind and very essense of what life is all about

Lovely

Diamond,

I enjoyed this very much. I love the images and your use. You opened the door to my thinking about the use of words in the same way as contrasting the use of color. The use of texture and shades which I will try to experiment with.

Thank you so much for this.

If but one might have the softest breathe,
to flutter a lid delicately...Then and
only then...might one have caught the prize
of this...so very well written,  crafted,
a flowing story of love.

Love this.  Love the whole poem, but especially this.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

WOW!!  Fantastic write Kathleen!!
Very much enjoyed the read.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
