Erato teases Hovering near enough to feel the heat Radiating Through the sheerness of her gown Even as she whispers her imagery Leaving it to wander aimlessly In my consciousness She slips the key to her puzzles Into her bodice Leaving my vocabulary gasping at the light And grasping at the source With her cheek against my chest She’ll remind me That this is merely sleepwalking Holding my protest behind my lips With the fingers of one hand The other startles and sparks recollections Viewed through cobweb and frosted glass Veracity, is lost along with the details And at that, the glances she gifts me Are always in the half-light or night The long light of dusk painting her orange Or, tangled sheets and pale beauty Washed blue in the dawn She’ll show me only, the light in her eyes And the tenuous shape of her hip in the dark But never speaks of what would come after Nor hints at what might lie ahead |

I'm with Martie - captivating write - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Holding my protest behind my lips With the fingers of one hand The other startles and sparks recollections Viewed through cobweb and frosted glass Veracity, is lost along with the details And at that, the glances she gifts me Are always in the half-light or night ok.... so every time I read something you offer...I ge the urge to hop a plane and sit a while.. have a couple of cold ones and see, if what I read into the words is really there.. ( chuckling).. though I know it is... I think it is the thought of looking it in the eyes that compells me... well done sir... well done indeed... |
