Entangled

There is a place,
they say, so

envision with me, if you
will

a center

in your mind,
a cross section
that brings one to the middle

somewhere floating
behind your eyes

if you center, center
yourself to that pinpoint
and feather lightly
light thoughts
they say,

they say...

desire begins there, and the
quivering lingers...

I will never know
if a man might experience that pleasure

but...

but if you should close your eyes,
if you would pretend with me,
that the feather light I imagine
is the dark strange shadow of you
stroking, just there,

along the grain of line
within my mind
where all is centered
where all shivers in delicious dark light

and the well is plumbed
where the waters meet

then,

then,
you would know
this feeling

Assuredly, this spot exists...
and I would take you there with me...

for I have not yet lost myself in this feeling,
it is so overwhelming that I would fear
to be alone, wanting one with me
one who understood,
one who would hold me while I explored
those inner places, and join me there...

but in the nights when you have slipped in alongside me
I tremble about the edges of it...
with you
knowing that it would be a blessed event
to have you along side for that
particular adventure...

I think it is a particularly
enticing place, where the resonance
would sound in echo

where the wind
would touch the soul.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Elan, I believe we all are familiar with this kind of place as it is important to feel accepted or loved in some way and to find that solace that we yearn for in the night! (sigh) This is powerfully heartfelt, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes Elan, there does exist such a place...
a place where you should go with another..
Perhaps you will...perhaps...in time.
For I have been there...and I know
This is beautiful sweet poetess.

Somewhere between there and then
between a place of warm flowing
springs of thought.

Lies this existance that a man has...
to share,
to give,
to allow to be felt as one becomes
known by one...

Such a place exists only in the recesses
of a mind flooded with love's desire
from the well.

If all the tear drops went to heaven
And if all the pain was confined ...
Would I be your salvation
could I make your spirit shine.

Ms. E.,

Such a beautiful expression of emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy.  I hope that you meet with this...soon!

Elan

You have described the center of the heart, the seat of the soul, the core of energy..a place guarded well.  So beautiful and delicate is the walk around you show us in this poem.

This is a gorgeous write, Elan...
You have nearly hypnotized me with it...
I just keep focusing on that little spot...
Now I have to come out of that lovely trance you put me in.

Like just about everyone, these lines...
where the resonance
would sound in echo

where the wind
would touch the soul.

Awesome.

the center of you
of no doubt an hallowed place
where the soul is touched

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
