Now again, the fevered dream
awakened from reality
the way you listen
with your eyes
and the secret
in your smile
even when you're standing still
your shadow beckons to my will...
No. I didn't count on this--
this masochistic tortured bliss
an agony when you're not here
doubled only by you near.
I surely think that it must show--
my eyes set sun to watch you go...
and then again, a sun's surprise--
I'm all in glow when you arrive.

Now awake, I smoke and pace
my soul remembering your face
No. I didn't count on this...
that in my sleep, I'd taste your lips
or that my ears would dance rejoice
at just a whisper of your voice.
I think your touch
might be too much...
I think that I would be undone,
reversal of the name of God,
implosion of creation's sun.

Back in bed, in toss of fits--
No. I did not count on this.

How could anyone
count on the unexpected
by definiton it takes us
unaware such its name inspires

But you are still and only you
no matter circumstances therein
I believe lies enough srength
to handle and overcome any moment

Celeste this is an excellent description of the all too often ambivalence of love!

               "No. I didn't count on this--
                 this masochistic tortured bliss
                 an agony when you're not here
                 doubled only by you near."

You didn't get that from any saturday night fish fry!  The rest is fab too!

I simply loved it........the soft flow and the longing between the folds of its lines........beautiful......

Thank you for the read......

I loved this image powerful and poignant,
Remember it ain't all black clouds sun shines sometimes. HUGE HUG take care,

Brutal and mocking but always therea crutch for enmity's saddest glare"

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

I thought I would say thanks before I forget about this one (yep, the forum moves so fast sometimes I forget MY OWN poems!   )

So thanks to all, and ethome? grin..you'd be VERY surprised what you can learn at a Saturday night fish fry!
