(2:5 Rain) Pregnant Clouds She lay brooding at dawn With bruised eyes fixed on some tumultuous Never more as always goes with storms I watched lithe limbs bend And her gravid belly swell As she remembered how it had been with him Who filled her in needful echoes With the sound of soft winds Catching on the edges of silk Bared again With pregnant words still born At end of tongue I waited for her to begin the rage of empty vowels As I pictured them locked in a dance Syncopated by the intervening miles That left them unable to embrace Anything but the clouds she is I drank deeply from the breast of sky Catching drops on lips that swelled July can be so dry And my thirst grew from deep within The collision of warm moist thoughts sheathed in heated miles bent into careless cumulus coils where, Lightning begins To fork its split fingers over skin While high above my heart the bruises yellow And I pray St Elmo’s fire to wrap me Inside the feel of her to let me live One more hour and hear her speak as she rises over me Heavy with rain her child yet born to earth or breath So is the death of June That would writhe round hungry roots And fall to parched stone Seeking crevices between the then Of always ever more And now |

"And my thirst grew from deep within The collision of warm moist thoughts sheathed in heated miles bent into careless cumulus coils where, Lightning begins To fork its split fingers over skin While high above my heart the bruises yellow And I pray St Elmo’s fire to wrap me Inside the feel of her" loved this....  you are one amazing poet... |

I am indeed, most fortunate, to share "part of" your skies with you, m'friend. I watched last night as the storm built over my space, and I knew it was headed to yours. I wondered if it would bead some drops of pleasure from your pen... and I can see, it did. As ever, consider me the grateful reader....  |

I watched lithe limbs bend And her gravid belly swell As she remembered how it had been with him Who filled her in needful echoes With the sound of soft winds Catching on the edges of silk Bared again With pregnant words still born At end of tongue I waited for her to begin the rage of empty vowels As I pictured them locked in a dance ~ this is so visual and so vivid....I pray now the skies will rain here as well....remarkable you are....

Astounding.... With pregnant words still born At end of tongue I waited for her to begin the rage of empty vowels As I pictured them locked in a dance Syncopated by the intervening miles That left them unable to embrace Anything but the clouds she is this is a wonderful tribute to a very lucky woman... Enjoyed this...powerfully expressed |
