In Pillowed Hold


I don't think it's selfish
to want to be with you,
wander through my days and nights
rooting a seed or two.

Plantings from my mind to yours
building, growing strong.                  
But I can only hold a pillow,
hold it for just so long.

I would never ask from you
without giving in return.
A fragile heart to share its love    
to understand its yearn.

I'm reaching out to touch your world    
for you to meet halfway.                
Seen through eyes of hazel, mine
accepting all you say.

For knowing true, the meaning of
the silence heard, your song.
But I can only hold a pillow,
only hold it...just so long.

M

Maureen darling heart sister and collector of moon’s shimmer this is extraordinarily good, you do know this flows like liquid light don’t you? It has the words entwined in a weave of unsurpassed beauty do I love it? You know I do. Truly exquisite writing. The softness in this poem is a delight to read I simply love it utterly utterly love it


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Plant a seed or two into your pillow, some dreams may grow and with care they may even come true. *s

Pretty poem, my friend.

When you think you have heard it all,
listen more closely.

Maureen,
I love the repetition in this. Sorry we got d/c earlier.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Excellent poem, and your signature is a very beautiful saying too.

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

It helps to turn it over and let the cotton cool your cheeks.  Ok I'm going to love my pillow now.  Say goodnight Lor~  

Enjoyed your poem Maur~
