drinking cowboy coffee, with grounds
and my back to the cactus lest I dream
and you return in that whispering sound
when your skin touches your skin again
and you let me listen to those secrets

like hide and seek between the blinks
you are there then turning around again
looking for exits to make me wonder
if you will lock us in like it is intended
or try to find the doorway of forgetful

I have grown accustomed to your surprises
as if I have them memorized from more often
when they appear in the middle of unexpected
and stay just long enough to make me want to
then they are gone before I say I am ready

and I am left with your patience in amber

How you come up with such ideas!

The emotions of "in between red and green" have never been rendered more captivatingly, I say!

Love,

I was picking out the cacti needles
when I came upon your reason behind
the poem. I must say, you are one of
the most imaginative poets around...

If this is what comes of being stopped at a light, let me know your route... I'll see if we can get a few more stoplights (with cameras! *G*) installed. LOL Beautiful work!!

"like hide and seek between the blinks

I tend to leave doors open and am always found coming in the exit, kind of a family tradition. Really enjoyed this insightful piece that could mean so many different things to different people.
