this river runs
in shades of blue
with under currents
of the cool of you

and I shiver

‘tis my own doing
this frost flow ice
from my own cold kiss
of thinking twice

and I quiver

silver shimmer falls
in liquid regret
chilling to snow
masking barren breast

and I weep this river
of the cool of you

s.a.t.


of note - this I wrote a bit ago - it does not reflect my current state of mind, but I liked very much the flow of it -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

well right now, the river is more likely a place for throwing one particular man i know
into without a lifejacket

but i like this a lot when i feel more serene

Thank you friends - it is nice to feel your warmth in all my colors -

inkked one - I understand - perhaps we both need to be on a beach in Tahiti where blue is a much prettier color
