To Borrow a Coined Phrase

Gratification and pleasure are words
which are best used in concert with another;
receiving and giving, to one-another,
and, those words being deeply admired
by two being as one…

Making one-another happily satisfied,
more curious than ever before,
and immersed in love, which,
even during the absolute worst of times,
will suffice – in pain or being unfortunate,
even in crime…

I decline to relinquish seeking that moment –
That moment of which my fundamental nature
can be explored
within the reassurances
of another seeking the like; the like of someone such as I.
There must be one, at least one who would find
within themselves to be as curious, so as to comply…

One willing to search heart and soul, flesh and blood,
in an endless imagination of gratification and pleasure,
for the simple bliss of living as one.

In harmony of shared existence…

Living in an illustrated scenery
embodied in those words,
and yet,
no need for those very words to be heard, or said...
To borrow a coined phrase:
“I can dream, can’t I?”

**

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

Yes, you can dream. Without the ability to dream, I'm not sure we could face our own existence. Never give up reaching for that shared existence... would be pointless to continue on after that.

Be careful, JL, the street corner where you make a left-hand turn is the woman looking for you. She is there. Yes, she is. She will appear. Believe it!

There is always a dream that opens to reality ... I think.

This is a very lovely poem. You are tender in the approach to your wish for oneness, add some splashes of technicolor to accelerate the manifestation of your dream.

I don't just understand this... I live it. *S* And I believe the dream itself is vital if we're to live instead of just existing and waiting to die. And sometimes for some ones, hopes are fulfilled and dreams come true if hearts are open and not locked away. *S*

Beautiful write!!!

And you dream for the best. I like that.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
