tree fingers touch shimmer sky places
morning shows her bare sun ends
from under clouds that slipped
on purpose perhaps
when a winking ocean touched
with sea spray kiss there
on belly skin horizon

you are mist on window glass now
your hair is wet grass
I watch your eyes and your mind
as you are outside in love place thoughts
you are nature in her nude
along the surf you run with nothing
but smile mouth and laugh eyes

I am quiet room of memory
I fit around you with thought
and instant replay of touch
of sigh sound songs
of tremble voice whispers
your back reaches to me
and fills my surround arms

night waves with shadow hands
and smiles star flicker good-bye
as he carries his indigo blanket
under arm to his valley of nap
we wave too with our eyes
and whisper invitations for his return
after day tells us love word stories

we are sounds of morning now.......

There are soft winds in Kansas
the ones you don't hear
       but feel against your face
warm air sweetening
       memories of time

they welcome the morn
       these soft wind sighs

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

You make it real hard to pick fave lines DS

As I was reading this I was trying to put my finger on what "it is" about your poetry that makes it so uniquely you...and I think I would have to say that its a delightful, heady, combination of imagery, sultry, sensual undercurrents and a gift of personification( see the lines I bolded above to prove my point) that turns your imagery and metaphor into poetry that bends the mind and sates the senses...and that poet sir is a very very cool thing.

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch

DS at his best yet again. May I thank you dark one for the smile you have brought this morning, and the sigh, and even more....for the beautiful memory... Thanx babe.... Your tender side is beautiful...

ageless ocean
displays her wet
under his blanket
of endless night

nothing before unseen,
still they touch
once more
as though for the very first time

I've watched many a morning arrive... but was so caught up in her glories I never watched the night depart... now, I know what I've been missing. *S*

This is stunning, DS... I enjoyed it very much!

DS~ I love how you bring landscapes to life...I love to see things through your eyes. If I were swooner, I'd be swooning right now! But instead I'll just sigh and let your words linger in my head as I start this day.

*hugs*

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.
