in my world of love shards
my days (and nights) are coded
and likewise programmed
into the whispering vapors of you
some days I feel quite burled
distorted and somewhat loopy
I seek out the moon each
turn of the earth's axis
feeling as one with intimate
heaving a forlorn sigh forever
it lightens our loads and its free
so are sunrises and sunsets
trouble can make an appearance
neither yours nor my liability
I hug you and bend to your throat
plant kisses that are sure to grow

"heaving a forlorn sigh forever" - my favorite line. Great love poem, enjoyed! Nice pic too!

Good morning, Kat! Happy to see I'm not the only early bird up on the rainy (down here) Saturday morning. Thanks for the read and of course for your kid remarks.

I never thought a swamper could write so well..Unti I read you...:-)

This is sensual, the picture is perfect..

Even if it appeared out of the mist of reminiscence..I don't care..
Because the "shards" are real. real.

Well, Ice, thank you. Actually I am a faux Cajun. I was born and raised In Arkansas. And yes indeed, the shards are real. Real.
