The thought of you makes thrill within me A transitory verb like breeze through silk blinds It’s undoing of winding roads and buttons Filling spaces and distance with alchemy Turning what was lost to found inside of me Reaching highs and lows so grand Excavating depths unknown by hand Puzzle pieces edged in perfect cut Round and fitting even seemed as quite unwitting Your voice the smoother coupling In my dreams breathes warm against my neck And laughter echoes sweet the tallest rafter Buoyed in the very basin of remember oh so well The starts and stops that happen only time can tell And conversations that were meant to be so slight Somehow became deeper in their meaning given might You felt it too…the purred nonsensical emotions fuller brew Each time you poised to strike out with reality My voice against your heart…leaned to thinner wounds I love you Making moments in the brush of thighs that caught me by surprise Repeating to my heart the reasons that are now a part of always Fidelity that calls to me in moments aching for your touch Looking into eyes of foreign soils…keeping me held safe And yet a lonely smile recants of what you may not feel, or see Even as the wind might carry me…you are my sweetest day And that in turn reveals the path where I must stay To still survive, live happily to be alive…but happiness is mute And without you, another time could not refute The fumbling of my fingers through your meadow Questioning the blossom as I find each view anew…and speak The longing still, a touch to ever keep and seek That I love you through the strongest whether And all around my heart beats gentle ever In a friendship needed now, and even more Cover me in shiver of the river when This kiss upon your cheek repeals and then The form this love will take runs clear again Copyright Kkh 10/16/04 |

The thought of you makes thrill within me A transitory verb like breeze through silk blinds *********** Superb start. Gets the mind thinking right away. *********** Your voice the smoother coupling In my dreams breathes warm against my neck And laughter echoes sweet the tallest rafter Buoyed in the very basin of remember oh so well ************ Then we get this ... a wonderful dreamscape image of thoughts with sound included. ************ I love you Making moments in the brush of thighs that caught me by surprise Repeating to my heart the reasons that are now a part of always Fidelity that calls to me in moments aching for your touch Looking into eyes of foreign soils…keeping me held safe And yet a lonely smile recants of what you may not feel, or see Even as the wind might carry me…you are my sweetest day ************* Loads of impact in that verse, anticipation, realization, breathless yearning with whispers of passion. ************ And that in turn reveals the path where I must stay To still survive, live happily to be alive…but happiness is mute And without you, another time could not refute The fumbling of my fingers through your meadow Questioning the blossom as I find each view anew…and speak The longing still, a touch to ever keep and seek ************** REALITY ************* That I love you through the strongest whether ************* caught that and loved the way it brings full circle to this whole piece encompassing so much in just one line alone. 5 stars for and excellent write. |
