Long Nights in Your Head |

Is it true that only drowning men may see? Sleeping so closely as one, borrowing me Has he touched my body with his mind? Will I always be pretentious? Moral affirmation turns ideas Can’t we be new in open skies? Breathing in the importance Baptize me with surprise Where are you, what are your dreams I want to spend long nights in your head Perched on a homestead of cool white caps Rocking you to sleep within my bosom Place your dreams in a wishing well With both feet on the edge Certify accord through the galleries of time Stoll away to those heights that essence brings you To its bliss…bring to me your solitude discussing Where you’ve been Hold me in your dreams like a lover I want to cradle you like a child Allowing your meaning beyond all meanings Where do I go, shall I stop, I must apologize for such innocence I can write and feel, but not speak What I know, without the muse who is partially you I want to climb deep inside your strength Bury your weaknesses, doused in the floodlight Of your every word, how important Together collecting thoughts from trees Age old oaks, bound to your gravity The scent of your natural cologne with no name May we buy a ticket into eternity? Where you are not afraid…where I am to Where we both may enter to insert our dream pebbles One for you and one for me, and one for both of us? By Lee J. |

Another gorgeous baring of the soul-- and this I know too: "I must apologize for such innocence I can write and feel, but not speak" Lovely, you. |

One for you and one for me, and one for both of us? What a way to wrap up a tender poem of two. And I know what you mean about muses. as well as the write better than speak. Where would I be if I didn't have this keyboard? Excellent poem LeeJ... Constructive critique phoooeeeey.....you write beautifully! |
