each and every time

are you just a dream
that enters my mind
a sweetness so sublime

when i'm rushing to and fro
you sit in the background
of the very front row

my lips have spoken for you
when you could not
and listened as you talked

in the darkness when I dream
are you there love...
are you there beneath the rain

your a shadow in my thoughts
i've touched you, though i have not
and my finger tips have loved you
each and every time

James,

I like the juxtaposition of "background" and "front row".

==============================

now tell me how a moth is supposed to resist this

"i've touched you, though i have not
and my finger tips have loved you
each and every time"

that is such a poetically lovely line p-man...
sensual laced with longing...very nice.

and posted under any name ...
thy poetry is still thy flame
very cool poem Parker-babes..and a personal fave.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

What marvels the mind can reveal about our inner being...that self within our self...that person that we don't know but think we know.... that anticipation of how we'd like things to be.......... that truth that consumes our desires..... those wonderful make sense while you're having them dreams ...time after time.........great write!! You're very good!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

You know, your "other" name always brought a promise of "Parker"....

and now....I don't have to wonder at your brilliance...
