I sipped the marmalade of your eyes
when you said smile words
voiceless in long coats

when you were the dragonfly
I was a waterfall on the other side
where trees were immortal

we swam in our desire pool
it didn't have a shallow end
and we never wanted to touch bottom

I remember praying for winter
so it would be ice cream cold
and you would pray for my hands

to cover you like warm toast sides

to cover you like warm toast sides--


*ahem*

you wouldn't be trying to tempt me to breakfast, wouldja?

That line alone, holds all the warmth and comfort of being held--and yessir, y'did yer job--smile--I'm shivering here, wondering why I'm NOT!!!

Now Dark, this is the warmest line
I have read this morning...

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Warming up the mornings in poetic gift Mr. D. I love how this means so much to the soft sides of sweet. The deep sides of longing. Always a keeper.

Sincerely,

Always your words raise vivid images, that take me to places of the heart.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

(smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, this made me feel like eating a rice cake with some pumpkin butter or marmalade on it for some reason! (sigh) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

The imagery and theme behind this is fantastic.  I don't know how you do it time and time again, but every poem penned by you is a cut above the rest.
