Fluted and Full of Light

Sigh me into the morning again love,
for I am fluted and full of light
and breathe this smile of day
for you to turn and watch.

There is delicious life
on these pillows that merge
and the shape of your head
is engraved there,
this softness where my heart turns
is still warm.

I have curved with you
into these years
and watched time changing,
each day’s passing
to shadow, crease
and color that tell me
I am fragile
and no longer new.

But you hand me your
warm words that see me
still in bright love’s glow,
and after time has drifted
past and bathed my skin,
I think that maybe I am
as lovely as your vision
for you would not say so
if dearest love
had not made it true.

=====================

those are two of the coolest verses I have read today...
such sincere and touching promises of enduring love...
growing old together gracefully..
excellent read me girlie

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins

Sigh...click click click!!!

Wow my friend - how do you do this to me hey?

K

- it was not an
unmusical sound: long, falling, half a sigh,
like wind in the wires, or a train distancing.

I both hear a flute and see a slender, crystal goblet filled with fine champagne...a wonderful read!

"Martie encourages Constructive Critiques"
Haaaaaaaaaaa - only a fool would think this could be improved in ANY way -
Were any of the great poets past or present to read this - I cannot but believe that they, like I, would praise it as I am attempting to do.
