It is the words
That like a silk screen backlit
Show me the outline of you
As you undress the thoughts and feelings

Taking lacey layer off here,
To reveal a swell of breast
That beats with heart bleed

Silky intimate there
Showing glimpse of passion
That longs for touch

Until the shadow you reveal
Is naked

But without the warmth of color
And the comfort of invitation
As it is grey and only an image

Perhaps it is voyeurism
That brings us all to peek into
The private places
Through cracks in doors partially opened
By the need for us to breathe.

Breathe

without being smothered
In the stifling air of our own
Exhalations accumulating to toxic measure
In the closed chambers of our shells

But it is the words
I embrace in my heart
With a longing to step behind the screen
And touch you.

...and "touch" me, you do, with your "words"

~ may all the love that you radiate, be reflected back to you, dear Cpat! ~

We do glimpse behind the screen, into the heart. It is an intimate place, and at times so honest it hurts and so beautiful it aches. Thank you for sharing that part of you. Enjoyed this!

Perhaps it is the safe place,
within your mind,
that lends your poetry
that magic
touch...

that gives us
so much...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ron, your words are an inspiration to us all and though we may not actually see each other behind the screen, we can feel the spirit of friendship, feel behind the screen and your voice is special to us all! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful, 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,

and touch us you have, with your thoughts into words, giving us feelings that we then put into our words. A poet's gift is constant, and reciprocated, and it is an honour to share with you!!

And therein lies the rub...

Shouldn't do this to me in the middle of the day.

It just ain't right, I tell ya.

sigh.

What you just said....

This place is sometimes maddening in its intimacy, without the flesh...I'd better stop--before I start!

Ron, we all 'breathe' and in doing so we touch the very hearts and souls of one another.

This is a magnificent piece of writing and I savor your words and thoughts.

Hugs, Marti

Every now and then take a good look at something not made
with hands -- a mountain, a star, the power of the ocean.

CPatHair~

This is such a lovely tribute to the power of a poet's words to inspire us~

'It is the words
That like a silk screen backlit

That's simply wordfully put ~
