Perhaps
a step or two behind
is where I felt the curve of you
tugging at me
like a small powerful boat
tossed by the sea

If I could steal a dreaming moment
shape it to curl over me stronger
than a passing wave
I would

I'd swim you
and feel the whirl of you
behind it all.

(For Alicia,
Welcome back m'friend.)

I need to read you BOTH daily.

Wonderfully written, m'luscious one Maree, and yes indeed, welcome back, "A"!

Very eloquent writing. As always the imagery was incomparable. The symbolisms were engaging and thought-provoking. There are many layers in this short and sweet masterpiece. Your posts are always well worth the time to read them (and then some!). I'm happy that you reposted it for us rookies here.

Warm regards,

Big K

I'm not much on poems that are posted with pictures, as you know......but I have to say I (still) miss the one that ought to be beside this one!
