Supine in Memories Bed Supine in memories bed I think to my youth, just look at you ripe and ribald, delicious in discovery of lovely love. Into that open door where tears were at the ready the vibrant, vulnerable heart couldn’t wait that kissing ardor just around the corner. It was a blessed time, fragrant with bright buildings and silver slanted rain on nights with no umbrella, wild and free in youthful negligence, that lovely dimpling on the satin water where shacks of light drowned. There were verdant hills melting houses muted colors of fog glistening bright steel glass eyed buildings that watch with such gleaming strength that reverie burns. Just look at you, drenched in this mystic moment engulfing me in your nonchalance, singing to me of bodies longing, touching that magic place of screaming zenith that brings such reverence to this walking backward. Remind me of the anguish you endured with your fresh heart and soften this pillow. < !signature--> In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Oh, Martie, this is exquisitely lovely! I know the feelings so well! You are so gifted. I love it when people write of time, and memories. I am so filled with my awe of both, and yearnings. |
