Roam

Invisible, silent energy that magnifies its presence
Haunting the fringe of the fire in a whispers tease
Meandering, the white blown blue then blushed
Symmetrical moans linger on in jubilant echo

I turn, east to west in a rattan dish
Pour beyond the door, in dampened darkness
Leaning an ear into the rain dancing
Cotton soft, to hem of warmth, thin woven around me

Muse, the music of flute exhaled sweetly
Builds in my pulse to epilogue, sheer and close
Your words and diction, gentle friction on my skin
Traveling the bounds of curiosity to light again

I wonder
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
The contradiction of fire and water speaks
In a language, we have honed kinetic peaks
Subtlety of touch, magnifies as much the flame
When the night calls out to me, your name

smiling wide--you must be drinking chamomile too! We seem to be on the same mellow page. That first stanza, I thought, wow, Kathleen's doing qui gong!

Totally suits me mood, too.

It's been too long, m'friend. And you really should bottle your poetry.

It's engagingly melllllllllllllow!

Fine imagery!:

“Invisible...energy…
Haunting the fringe of the fire in a whispers tease”;

“the music of flute exhaled sweetly”;

“The contradiction of fire and water speaks”;

Applause!
