Please

please
would you say that again
I’m sorry
I didn’t hear you
I was lost in the sight
as you spoke
lips that quicken
in excitement
biting air
to cover me in words
telling eyes
dancing a story
all its own
a stretch
from the skins of pain
you never speak of
but I see
deep within you
unconsciously tracing
places that once
wore kisses
a smile
that can peel
revealing things unnoticed
how is it
I missed it before
forgive me
say it again
this time
I didn’t listen
as I was watching you
as you spoke

Dang, Helen, I can relate to this one,
having been mersmerized by the eyes and lips of someone whose very being captivated me so much he could have been reading the telephone directory and I wouldn't have known...or cared.

This is perhaps my favorite of yours. You are on a roll huh?

Some thoughts "burn" so cleanly that the actual words can not be recalled.

Your poetry sometimes does this to me.

Maybe this time the words were irrelevant...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Words didn't matter

Sometimes the words are only secondary; but in this case, these words are.. amazing

Hey, I found this old ear-horn at a garage sale. I could clean it up a bit and . . .
