A Gift of Contentment ~~*~~ I am connected to you in a way I can't explain. Tonight my thoughts are run-on sentences, a single thought running wild, asking questions of you, as if you are here to answer. ~~*~~ I have wanted to give you a gift of me, and then I laugh as I have visions of you unwrapping a calendar, each month being faced with Nakdthoughts, in a different pose. ~~*~~ I search in my mind for little "triggers", fantasies to entice, hoping to get a rise out of you and to keep me on your mind. Yet, it is you that are constantly on mine. ~~*~~ I look in the mirror and see how flushed I am, how just thinking about you, can at times surrender me useless, and the only thing I can do is release my feelings into words. ~~*~~ I feel like I am on stage and the world is watching, to see if I can live up to these fantasies or if I will have to abandon them, out of failure. ~~*~~ Yet here I am smiling, for no reason, other than I am feeling rather contented tonight, as I place the last of the lights on the tree and view my reflection in the window. ~~*~~ M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

LOL! This is great, Maureen! We all have those little fantasies or plans on how to impress someone special. They are so much fun to have, aren't they? They stimulate the mind and put a smile on one's face at the same time....I like this poem very much. Will you put me on the list for one of those calendars?  |

the_loner_23 ..thanks I am glad you enjoyed it. Balladeer, well I am glad you got a laugh out if it. That's what I was trying for. I wrack my brain sometimes, to have me on his mind...I really was thinking about that calendar, I have the program for one, but I lack the guts *s And my handle was just too perfect not to use in the poem. It was just a silly little write, because I am too tired to produce anything of substance. Well if I make that calendar, I am not sure you would take it seriously. Hi Bill, thank you for reading and I hope your Christmas brings you peace. hugss M |

enjoyed sharing your contentment, nothing like it! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
