And Who am I

Read another male
Upon pages alone
Read his romance
His testosterone

Let your estrogen succumb
Give way before
His passionate phrases
Become what often you become

But if you’d rather
Meet on common ground
To my music
Hear my sound

Share with my your ears
And what they hear
Melodies in your soul
Strung so clear

Join with me on beaches
Or on mountain trails
Where nature’s forces
Match your heart’s entrails

Where we might learn
What commitment entails
In truth spilled out upon the sand
Wrenching though it tears our hearts asunder
You might find out that we’re no blunder

I find silken woman of your soul
Lacy soft with heart under control
Able to leap tall buildings with a word
Far more desirable and not absurd

Are you the one to match my soul’s desire
Or will I die before such dreams expire




The first duty of love is to listen.

~ Paul Tillich ~

"I find silken woman of your soul

To find, and love the beauty that is within another, is a wonderful feeling...you have expressed it well.

Wilfred - A'hhh, such that you write about, music, sharing, giving. I like it very much, and well done. But you will find this that you seek, before they plant you. Someone that writes like this, it will happen.

Martie - Sven - Bill -

I guess I was just 'in a mood' today - sometimes reading others here whose writing confirms unmet expectatations -
reminds me of how I've felt in the past -
so - as you can see -
one way or the other -
all I write is fantasy -
based on some other reality

Thank you

I find this comment to be just as intriguing as the poem itself...

well done, Mr. Yeats!

I like this one very much... it could be titled "And Who Are We" - is this fantasy or reality? *S* I hope you find a reality that exceeds all fantasies and dream together... well done!

Sunshine -
to retain the anonimity of friends in the face of would be gossips - sometimes requires words of fantasy ~S~ - thank you


Suthern-
No one sharres your wishes with greater fervor than I - ~S~ thank you
