Nothing right now could exact a smile from these eyes
nor these lips
save for your voice
and the hunger to have you is so dire right now
that it could easily be a cruelty smile
aimed at whatever pleasures you could seek by loving me in return.
I am teased by scurrying shadows tonight, My Love
and if you haven't a hand to hold out in patience
then don't dare it.
Don't step into the quicksand if you have't the strength to pull us both out
because it is night within my soul if only for moments
and one blink of light could pierce me
making mad secrets jump off the walls at me.
I am obliterated
lying here
staring at a blank spot burning its way through the grey
that gives way to blackness
and I look damn good in black.

"two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light
a duet done with passion"

excerpt from "I Love You"

i was brooding yesterday...
i stare into the dark when i brood too, and i think if i wrote as i stared, it might sound like this.
enjoyed this much.
especially the part about how only a blink of light would only make the little things inside jump around.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

Thanks, you two, for the replies to my poetry as of late.


K..you really don't know what your comment means to me. I have had little faith in my writing these days. ((HUGS))

The last line was a zinger--and I love last line "punches" too. And yanno, what? Everytime I read you now, I can hear your voice in my mind (People, this lady recites NICE) We'll have to ask the Alicat to set up another chat room thing--

Wonderful writing...as always you--it's like whip-stitching thought (oooh...) there ya go, a challenge for you! "whip-stitching thought" grin...gonna go post that in the challenge forum...and I know, I know, I still owe ya the one about the wind...believe it or not? I'm still thinking on that. *It would help if the wind would BLOW for some inspiration, huh?* cackle

I'm so taking the challenge, Sen.

And Temptress, I love your words. They remind me,
and help me see.

I'm tempted to say, no, I'm going to say, you "do look damn good in black"!----I love your photo (and this rambling gem)!

It would seem that black makes the poet.  And that grey makes the lover.

Thank you.

What light through yon window breaks?  It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Not such a ramble, just a fine, fine read.

And thanks for your unending support of my own scribbles

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".
