Nimble like a good lost thing.
Back and forth on thimble wings.
Injured angel baby doll.
Love the way you make me all.
Rain in silver bells and nets.
Covers us in blue forgets.
Wiry roses burning red.
Twining round your heart and head.
Notes are taken, take these things.
Slowly nibble mumbled stings.
Slowly ribs and legs and rings.
Slowly music collapsings.
Love unmaking shaking call.
Love the face the shaping fall.

"Slowly ribs and legs and rings.

Unusual rhyme and meter here, and it works wonderfully. Nothing trite about you, Mike!

I would call this whimsical, and yet, it's deep. Again, (grinning here) sorta like YOU. I'm damned glad you're back!

This is one of the few poems I have ever come across that has left me speechless.  
Very well done!

Sweet imagery here, Mr.Squirrel, I know there must be a deeper meaning...but I don't think I'm smart enough to figure it out.
Please enlighten me...

I have to admit to reading it twice and got a different meaning out of each time.  It is alluring, sad, compelling and sensual.  I liked.

I confess I'm not clever enough to pull the right meaning out of this but the rhyme and cadence is so smooth I enjoy it anyway!
