Can a sound...
from vowels written elegantly upon
a smooth crisp page bring from me a sigh...

My eyes...
fail to see the purse of one’s lips,
the color of soft cheeks,   the slender
and delicate poise of fingers..
deftly stroking a keyboard in
rhyme.

I struggle...
as does the tide against
the reed,  to see the softness of your
hair, the intrigue of your eyes, the
fragrance that lingers on a small
wrist, aching to be kissed....

Your gait...
Invites the eyes of many.  Your smile
stops the urban flow as stares peruse
that which only my mind has seen.

Yet it is I...
who has tasted the bubbly of a sipped toast..
As words fall softly upon a page,
tugged over by two....giggling...

Until they write again...

Superb write here Barry!
So very much enjoyed this 'sigh'.

    In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art

You make the reader ache to be the one to whom you write...

Speaks well to poets who duet, I believe...

and the tenderness of this delivery
gave me delicious chills...

thank you Magnus!
