Mind boggling mindfulness
polymer-like perspectives revealed,
unveiled serendipitously.
Some are strangers to my brain.
And I laugh at myself,
inane moments of bliss
such as this fly by in a gray mist,
and well they should,
when in the end all the ear hears
is half-truths that fall
like youth itself,
on deafened ears abused
by years of neglect.

Spit the truth out for once,
please, don’t tease.
Bring me to my knees
with ease, in passion’s breath.
Touch is all it takes
(as friend Tim wrote)
to make us warm.
And I am cold.

So passionate! Yet there was a gentleness also..... Very nice, Midnitesun! I really liked this.

sounds like two poems put in one, the second is very simple and to the point (much loved) and the first is a contimplative poem about a situation perhaps, both of them are pretty true to a such a sexy situation. very good indeed midnight..
