THE ANTI-RESISTANCE MOVEMENT
20 October 2011

The gauze barriers that I know
I must put up
you don’t break down
you just paint them gone
in charm-armfuls of Crimson Glories
and I breathe their billet doux perfume
and stroke the words of every petal
drowning in your lose-me eyes
as they are lost in mine
your hands tiptoe-cupping my upturned face
and you mix my metaphors
in soft luscious whirls
of creamy dessert
and I melt in moments
within the hunger
of our lost-in-our-own-world kiss
which fuses us in our forever-sizzle.

Love the love language in your poetry.

"and you mix my metaphors
in soft luscious whirls
of creamy dessert
and I melt in moments
within the hunger
of our lost-in-our-own-world kiss"

It is the language, and its ability to stir emotion, that is so right in words like those quoted, that keeps me focused on the art.

Thank you, Ford.  I am very honoured at what you say and coming from a poet of your stature, makes it mean even more to me.

Absolutely delightful, dear Owl.

It's good to know that there is room for enchantment in your days, while you have to cope with less pleasant challenges.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, Margherita.  The gauze barriers that I put up are the hard part, though.
