Golden watches heading home Hardly pretending someone’s fortune Wanting to hold southern lights Evocative image, one in a million Musing the suburbs of soul…circles There are no bad ends…but steel doves Hovering over the darker sides As mirrors of truth become intimate gatherings Open hands and white wine Reading the heroism of leeward The bloodstream of fire Fidelity forming columns Marching or’r the hours Exotic lands…chambered round a honeymoon Strutting tall grass winking fiction oscillating Soldiers in high school jackets Lifting growing space Where we’ve unhinged the other side Windows blooming massive concrete Sun bouncing off sea Pulling apples home in a cart of whispers Rice fields growing bigger With talkative streams On a steady course of offerings Tell tale people washing stones Impossible to clean Yet, tongues burn with hope My lips pucker like a child-hood injury Knowing a gust of cold breath Will carry like a mutation healing I smile and tease this life of peace Pulling fish from shallows Kissing the baby soft head of chubby cheeks Assuming nothing, but a slightly imperfect meaning “Where are you from” I inquire While climbing in the passenger’s side He grabs my arm and fastens my seat belt And Sounding like a holy apparition, smiles and says “I am the oldest of mirror images that turns the earth” I smile replying “Whew, and I thought I was in trouble” He says, “Any Regrets?” I say…”Hmmm, one”…not kissing the burning body of night As often as I should and not listening to the voice Telling me precisely what I was seeing” |

Lee, this was downright brilliant! I experienced so many sensations and visions while reading this illustrious poem, that I'm tuckered out! Whew! You take me on some interesting trips with your descriptive writing ability!  Have a superbly marvellous day!  Linda |
