Wrap me softly
in your words
letting me slide
in the spaces
between letters
feeling them
aloe burning
memories

wet syllables
spreading oily fire
as unchecked
thoughts are fueled

I Roll
in the vowels

covering me in
sweet sounds
that gently
ever so
softly
undress
the meanings

then prop me
against the
Consonants
As I wait for
The healing
Warmth of
Your world

If there were ever a poem that I would want to read between the lines....it would be this one....it's just begging for that type of read....

Lady: It is in the spaces between the lines we often find the truths... feel free to read between the lines, or the syllables...and take from it, that which suits you today... Thank you for the nice words.... as always they are appreciated.

Serinity: I didn't know you knew how to behave!!! ( laughing) and as far as me behaving... all I have done is write a poem or two...what in the world is misbehaving in that?? ( innocent look) As for going back to bed..hey if there is someone there waiting...get you hiney in there..

I love the way this poetic melody tumbles ever so gently in my ear. A great write.... It left me with the feeling of *more*...

speechless...I think you took all the vowels and consonants away in your burn and I've little left with which to respond, either that or last night's rain washed away my brain...you know "Rain Makes Applesauce."

and if by chance
taken from the shelf
take a look
reading these lines
make an open book
then read me
as I am
from cover to cover
letters in line
words uncurl
sounds of discover

you inspire me...helen

Dancing with you in the summer rain~

The beauty of words, what all poets live for, in a way.
Special write.
