Like little twigs
and switches
I search
ceaselessly
for the meal,
of my muse
in you.

You
are the tinder
that spurs
and kindles
the soft smolder
and eruptions
that warms
my awakening
and cuddles,
my consciousness
in all that is
upright
and becoming.

Yes,
it is you.

My fondness for you
is bona fide
in its deliverence,
between the seam
of separation
and openess
that quakes and
quivers
in the soul
forsaken
and the glows,
of reality.

What is truth
but blush and tear
in bodyspeak
that yearns for one
to,
be near.

We listen
too much
with our mind
sometimes
instead of giving
heed
to
the glistening
gleam
of our own
melted elixir
and concoction.

If you want
the solace
of lone
and still
then
simply
turn,
turn away
and walk;
walk from the
warmth
of my
swelter,
walk
from our
steamy
incandescence
till the sky
perspires
and forever
the last ember
of my hearth
succumbs,
in vanishing whisps
of silence and
sleep,
eternal.

My lot
is that
I,
and you
are
the what
could
and should have
beens
that simply,
never will.

Once again such excellent expressions in poetic garb.

Love this..

"and cuddles,
my consciousness
in all that is
upright
and becoming."

Nice indeed and very earth solid realistically romantic....There's always a way and sometimes we actually catch on.

Loved the weave and enjoyed the read.

Eric

true love never looks after it's own interests

This is exquisite, Richy!!  Each word is like a brook where the clear water takes it's sweet time....lingering in warm pools,
leading to a waterfall, where rainbows form in the cool mist.  Makes me wish I was there.  

Sometimes your poetry brings tears to my eyes, it is so full and rich, so tender...and always written with great care....
often times I feel the bittersweetness raining down on me.

Thanks so much Eric my friend, I'm glad you are, catching on... whenever you do get a chance, let me in on the secrets as well... I could use a little help figuring it out myself...

Don’t cry Bluesy, okay, just smile

No need to wish of being, within any of these words.

You already are, and always have been…

(((You)))

Not only the above quoted words, but every line in this poem is simply gorgeous, dear Richy.

It feels like dancing along your thoughts ...

Love,

Margy, Margy, where have you been, I've been worrying about you?!

Thanks sweet friend for the thoughtful sentiments, you know I appreciate them so.

Oh hey, and thanks for the dance... I didn't realize you could rumba so well
