my lover and the old man in the moon are deep in celestial meditation. I am the only mortal who can see and appreciate the mystery; her enchanted ways. I stand very, very still listening to the moon and my lover’s serenade. My uttermost fears are soothed forthwith music unlike any I have ever beheld speaks words to moi with such a voice of love you cannot imagine celestial music my lover speaks to me, I am with you always though it may seem I’m faraway and not paying attention I am here . . . forever. Her voice soothing and delicate makes me think of word/jazz. I was struck dumb and could only nod as the lightest feather-soft brushed against my lips bells pealed somewhere sealing into my heart calming words my lover has just spoken and the mysterious melody composed by my lover and the man in the moon tugged my heart with a gentle caress. I understood that the gentle brush upon my lips was my lover’s enchanted, delicious kiss leaving the scent of ripe peaches upon my mouth ©June 23, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (06-23-2017 06:11 PM).] |

You captured the essence of my poem, jjote. With the trio and the song and your belief in what you were reading. Thank you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

I so appreciate your kind thoughts, Alana. Sometimes I have the strangest thoughts and they send me to places and sites a bit far out. This is one of them. Thank you very much for hanging in with me. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
