In Your Poetic Mind

draw me out

of:

names  that
don’t matter
on long winter nights

the warmth from your
hands

all I need

if you're ‘here’
when I return to ‘earth’

you would know
water,
echo’s of

everything you can not see

how I can be beautiful
--
or;  how gentle my eyes
yield your
abandonment

a surviving view--
balanced on shoulders
well traveled

alone, I am falling
empty, naked with interest--

avowed by sound

I remember:
guilt --
walls that have no end--
--
layers  of ashes--

slates of blue

clouds sweeping
the dusty earth
across my skin

I tremble in anticipation,
the next color


return only
when you desire
the shade of my heart

and maybe you will
remember the softness
of my mouth


I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

What a write!
I don't know just how to take it right now ... maybe after a couple of more readings my poor, bent mind will comprehend your meaning

How do you write so well? there's so many choice phrases here, it's like a meal followed by another followed by another. I'm stuffed, but I still want more. Stop killing me. Please?

Guilt...walls that have no end...oh how true

(sigh) This is soooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I hope you have found your true love that has reached into the depths of your heart and honored all the colors you bring him! (kiss on cheek) This is fabulous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
