Lacey looked worried And I watched her full lips grow a bit thin As her hand sought the place in her spine That dipped in and seemed to catch the pain She was feeling. Her eyes turned away from mine And I thought about how the years had been kind As she still had an enticing form I wanted to explore All most as much as I wanted to be one to touch her heart And heal the old wounds she’d told me about In our time together. My hand found it’s way to her shoulder and I felt her head Rest against my chest as a whispered,”So comfortable” Escaped with a sigh. “Tell me,” I began, “that you need to go.” “Not yet,” she answered And we stood a while like that My arms wanting all of her but satisfied With the comfort of another’s touch That didn’t judge harshly the faults and cracks In the other. I felt her tremble when my hand found the small of her back’ And pulled her to me. I probably shouldn’t have, But I kissed her then Losing myself in soft lips and the feel of her Kissing me back. If I hadn’t seen the shadow of an other time And another tear lying behind her eyes When she smiled, we might have spent the night together But it was there and reflected enough light I knew Lacey didn’t need to cry Not this time |

My arms wanting all of her but satisfied With the comfort of another’s touch That didn’t judge harshly the faults and cracks In the other. =========================== its this kind of depth of emote and sincere humility that is at the heart of your poetry....the gift you have for writing with mirrors, so that we see parts of ourselves in your words that touch places deep and its what keeps us wanting more. the moth always wants more  missed reading you poet sir...nice to have you back.  "and when we get to the pearly gates ... |

 (big hugggssssss) This is a very emotional turn, dearest friend, there may not be a use to cry but certainly every half a mind to do so, this is so very touching, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
