we never did talk about it before
but I guess you realize by now
that I would prefer to be one of your windows
rather than any of your doors
that you might close behind him sometimes

while you would run to look for tomorrow
on the other side of my usually mostly open
then you would stand there in only your bronze
and whisper those come play with me words
and you would shiver lovely against my reflections

I would rather be just your floor too
than the bed you might leave sometimes
when you woke up beside him with lonely on
and hurried across my willing places
to where I was part of your corner safety

and you could be that little girl woman again
playing in her man cave with dragons
that only purred and licked her fingers
and told her she was lovely in laughter colors
and you would stay there until tomorrow looked in

from the other side of my usually always open

I really liked this poem. What I liked most was the feeling of a thought unspoken which left your lines kind of hanging in the air. i found myself starting to try and complete the thoughts, then just let the lines complete themselves. Interesting structure.

I am tempted to make squeaky little girl sounds to express the pleasure I feel in reading this poem! You are on a roll, dear D.!

Sooooooo good!

Love,

Refuges have feelings too... and hearts that beat to if-onlys. I understand these "druthers"... and still the need to give what's needed. *S* Superb work!

Man, you write some great lines DS!

Loved this animate to inanimate render of wishful thoughts.
