Journey to Me

I reach back to darker recesses,
in light more than I know
just misplaced a decade or so.

My lost journey I take again
with him,
eyes closed
he leads my way,
I know.
Through guitars’ flutter
on wings of butterflies painted yellow
and trimmed in hues of cobalt blues
while charming black and white birds sing
melodies that patter throughout
against a backdrop of a slow moving beat.

I will move into his dream-
my dream
with one burst of his voice
in highest octaves,
he lays me down in lyrics of love...
Unmatched-
Paralyzing my heart momentarily
until I breathe in his breath
with mine
in the same way,
holding it as deeply as yesterday.
Once forgotten...
now connecting then and
then again.

My spirit exhales
and I escape my skin.

I am here
and I am not.

But I am me.

This is well written. It's hot, and I like the way it moves.

Patricia! It's been awhile since I have had the pleasure of reading your love-ly poetic offerings! ~ Too long a while!

"My spirit exhales
and I escape my skin.

I am here
and I am not.

But I am me."

It appears to me that the journey back to you was well worth it! ~ and a fine you, ye be!

Giving you a warm, welcome-back, hug to these blue pages and to yourself!

Very nice Patricia. I liked the way it flowed and the feel of it. I get an intimate feeling when I'm reading this for some reason. Hehehe.Looks like somebody just got there socks knocked off before they wrote this. LOL. I really liked it though. Great write.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
Blessings and Guidance

It's lovely to read you again, Patricia. The sentiments flowed softly and smoothly throughout ... and I loved the ending lines. Very nicely penned.

Best wishes,

It's so good to have you home again...

and this made me think of all of the great opera stars...

easy enough for a man to put himself into your shoes, as well, and to think of the more tender voices...

well done, m'dear!
