She lay still this day after Wearing the veil of white draped from limbs That reached low for her skin Hiding in places her now grey eyes Having risen in her bed on elbows of rain The white robe that covered her long thighs Spread out in rippled soft hand against the flank of hills I watched her for a while As I sat in the shadow of an early sun With miles yet to travel on pox marked ribbons Wide enough for two if neither crowded in That fed slick tongues of slush Eager to eat too fast I felt her then Beneath my words And let her arms pull me close that I might taste How it was to be held within To be a part of whole usually left blank As pages turned or chapters changed Till I sighed tears gently against the wind And watched them fall into her Adding to us both a bit more To blend… The lady blue wept her wet tears against stone So I wrote Knowing the words would not capture what lay In either of us And that the danger of drowning in eloquence was as grey As the risk of plumbing depths something telling me to leave a page bare For her to write later as she found the soul of me And I wrote instead “She has moved me with beauty and haunted my nights till I can feel her on my skin even when I am far from her.” “How can I deny, the love of her?” finished I closed the book walked to the edge of her bank and lay on my back to make angels |

I have always said to be written of, by you, is a gift any woman would treasure....you are a gifted man, and lucky the woman that your pen writes of |

I felt you would come in today... I had a thought about this morning's gifts... albeit a bit on the chilly side... quote: Leave that on the banks, for your lady blue... |

Ron "walked to the edge of her bank and lay on my back to make angels" Such a great ending for this lovely poem!  |

hmmm....must be my subliminal conscious coming back on me...because I thought the thought this morning, and didn't harken back to any particular poem.... so all I can say is, see how deep the river runs?  |

Till I sighed tears gently against the wind And watched them fall into her Adding to us both a bit more To blend… The lady blue wept her wet tears against stone So I wrote Knowing the words would not capture what lay In either of us And that the danger of drowning in eloquence was as grey As the risk of plumbing depths something telling me to leave a page bare For her to write later as she found the soul of me And I wrote instead “She has moved me with beauty and haunted my nights till I can feel her on my skin even when I am far from her.” ============================ one of these days...youre gonna get a thank you note from the Meramec and Mississipi river.   |
