Listening to every heart

January White




How slippery, night to day,
week to month,
[tongue to lips]
and here you are, again…

agitated, I do not look at day of month
on any man-made calendar,
no, I knew you were presenting
yourself again, readying to  
peer down in winter white
like a bride
in tremble.

I thought, perhaps,
as systems decline, particularly
and peculiarly, a woman’s,
that so would
the inner pull of tidal creep,
but no…

I am still woman
and you still pull,
sensations become taut
till you wane again.

But while you are here?

Wax well,
and warm my revelations.

Karilea, you hooked  me with this already!  Now, to return and finish your poem!  

As I recall, you're a tea drinker.  Will you accept my posted invitation to share a cup of tea?  For the past three months with Passions I find there are lots of tea drinkers here and...lots of chances to learn about new blends.  
          
I'll return in a little while, after reading the rest.  Until then, enjoy your cup of tea.

Sunshine,

"How slippery, night to day,
week to month,"

Nice, this idea is easy to grasp and fits so well with the rest.  I love the way your mind works, Sunshine.
  
"on any man-made calendar"
"the inner pull of tidal creep"
    
Yes, isn't there always a type of waning?

   "Wax well,
   and warm my revelations."

Simply beautiful and well articulated.

Karilea, as so often with your poems, I am
speechless as to what to say. All I can
think of is Beautiful and that just doesn't
seem enough.
Hugs
