We spoke easily
One to the other in turn taking
As we sipped coffee in those pregnant pauses
That came with thought or simply losing ourselves
In the passing ones and two of people carrying name marked bags
Treasures I suppose picked up in dreams of fashion
Shaping a reality that existed only on slick paper images

It was the way your eyes caressed mine
Probing to see what was behind the words and smiles
With gentle soft burrowings of plead

Don’t hurt me

Don’t lie

That touched me first

Then your hand reached across the table
As you made a point and touched the back of mine
As if to say can you feel too the words
Or do you just hear them as they are offered
And file them in some way for retrieval
Not letting them become imbued with the essence
Of their true meaning and implication

Still you spoke easily
And then as it was time to leave
Bent over and kissed my cheek
Speaking to another part of me
Just as easily

It seems familiar,
perhaps I just want it to
be familiar...

Even a repost looks good
on you...

(smiles) Oh yes, yes, I do remember this one so very well, and I am so happy you re-posted this too, sometimes I too forget if I post a poem here or not! (big hugggsssss) You and Dark Stranger always are the masters at descriptively detailing passion in story-telling verse, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ron:

"It was the way your eyes caressed mine
Probing to see what was behind the words and smiles
With gentle soft burrowings of plead

Don’t hurt me

Don’t lie"

Only a man who listens would hear these words...a gentle man. Enjoyed this scene.
