Can you hear the train of dreams? Smoky fingers of machines? Sitting like a group of students Drawing pictures of some tickling buzz Giggles of body breathe behind you Vertigo wakes in a double bed Trembling pause to almost still…still my love Hurries home Coasting North, painting bridges Designing out a space somewhere In a wildlife refuge, throwing its head back Lights flashing in secret codes Arcing across the sky We fly aside of sea gulls Heading out to sea Night with its warm tendrils Living off our heat, broader then being Even circumstance becomes immediate Generous deep sighs, our letters of staying alive Understanding language river-like Spending part of childhood Looking for you….occasional doubts and losses Now we laugh with voices of breakfast Happy tones receive tourists exploring A safe place of tender choices Slow combing, long hair of drowning lips Playing hide and seek in moon shadows Preparing to begin a moment of life Colors, shades, undone Changing to white sound Heaven rolling up to our feet, in creative ways Promising poetic imagery Sparking scent of intimacy Flirting, smiling with flesh so interesting So...of blazing hearts at any price Birthplace of high minded destiny Knowing our names and secret places |

Your title reminded me of one of my own... and yet you diverted with a gem...  |

This needs a few re-reads. It looks simple yet seems very complex. It sounds like a typical Lee J twister. Dave |

So much imagery!!! These are my favorite lines, favorite images: Arcing across the sky We fly aside of sea gulls Heading out to sea Night with its warm tendrils Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
