Is it true that only drowning men may see?
Sleeping so closely as one, borrowing me
Has he touched my body with his mind?
Will I always be pretentious?
Moral affirmation turns ideas
Can’t we be new in open skies?
Breathing in the importance
Baptize me with surprise
Where are you, what are your dreams
I want to spend long nights in your head
Perched on a homestead of cool white caps
Rocking you to sleep within my bosom
Place your dreams in a wishing well
With both feet on the edge
Certify accord through the galleries of time
Stoll away to those heights that essence brings you
To its bliss…bring to me your solitude discussing
Where you’ve been
Hold me in your dreams like a lover
I want to cradle you like a child
Allowing your meaning beyond all meanings
Where do I go, shall I stop,
I must apologize for such innocence
I can write and feel, but not speak
What I know, without the muse who is partially you
I want to climb deep inside your strength
Bury your weaknesses, doused in the floodlight
Of your every word, how important
Together collecting thoughts from trees
Age old oaks, bound to your gravity
The scent of your natural cologne with no name
May we buy a ticket into eternity?
Where you are not afraid…where I am to
Where we both may enter to insert our dream pebbles
One for you and one for me, and one for both of us?

Another gorgeous baring of the soul--

and this I know too:

"I must apologize for such innocence
I can write and feel, but not speak"

Lovely, you.

One for you and one for me, and one for both of us?

What a way to wrap up a tender poem of
two.  And I know what you mean about muses.
as well as the write better than speak.  
Where would I be if I didn't have this
keyboard?

Excellent poem LeeJ...  Constructive

beautiful poetry "lee"  enjoyed...

remember the phantom poet

A voice of honesty

more than voices
   of flattery
