Invention the techie
Atmospheric qualities of nature
Singing to bare earth,
Which fires posterior
Smooth….
Relentlessly warm

Realism bursts through the door
Sending it off its hinges
Finishing up with luminosity
Poems singing religious
A bold lover fears submission

Struggling achieved textures
Lending itself to melodies
Where translation wanders
Playing home music
There I wonder
stoking your smile
outlining your eyes
touch is so important

Quit the narcotic
Forgetting essentials
Floating on a plain
Where secrets whisper
True hearts
Inhaling presence
Rose of patience

Bohemian cruise
Allowing light
With fervor…adoration
Drinks on the house
calling us home
Every curve of life
Profits disappear in the moment

Awakening from slumber
Dropping self-image
Whispering today
I love you things
Look at something good
Unshakeable questions
Carving names into a tree


What purpose has a desperate man?
Was luck with me?
Stroking my finger like a wedding band
If you should part, I know I shall die
Like a lovesick fragile bird
Wearing glasses on my eyes
and then.....?

I laughed while I read this.

Nice and flippant.

Each stanza, a poem of its own.

Enjoyed, Lee!

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

INDEED!!! Through eyes, communication, and feel all wrapped in one.  Touch comes in many forms for me, but you verse better than I could possibly do.

Superb write as I am finding all of yours to be.  Great reading and great intrigue in each and every one.  Very observant of life you seem to be.

I guess you can see that several of us
tend to grasp onto the part of your poem
about the importance of touch.  It is,  and
you have brought that awareness to the surface
of my mind.

Just reading this is amazing, but looking into each stanza, each phrase, each word... it is even better. I was gonna pull out my favorite to let you know, but it's too hard, I love it all. Love this write.

Always, Alyssa

I got dizzy as I read down the lines of this poem...funny how descending words can ascend the mind. What a rush....
Love getting dizzy in this fashion..
