In The Kokapelli's Song

“I Love You” breeds a certain redundancy…

But how do you convey to one that your heart is so full with their soul
that they are all you can think about at times?

How do you convey the longing those mornings and nights
when you wake and lie down without them?

How do you convey the desire each day
when your mind wanders to the way they caressed you

How do you convey that the simple THOUGHT of their touch
makes your skin tingle?

How do you convey the smile that crosses your lips
with every communication ...
finding a sense of closeness even in debate?
  
How do you convey the even bigger smile that crosses your lips
at the mere sound of their voice.

How do you convey the tears that well but never spill
as you lose yourself (or is that find yourself?)in their eyes.

How do you convey that one has made you feel complete
and that if you let yourself you could be content
in their arms for eternity.

How do you convey that you feel them with your entire mind, body and soul?

How do you convey that you are no longer in control of your heart...
and neither do you want to be????


I do not seek...I find!

Love is like a battle
And you dont deploy the troops

Destroyers on every side
cruisers move further afield
And submarines patrol the depths

It does sound like a strange manual of love

Always someone to tell you how it is going wrong

Always the alternative
And then the bangs and explosions

Ones you trust and always there

Battleships cruising in

Frigates there

Love isn't easy

But keeping working on it

Heather~
There are so many gentle questions in this penning~

I recall that many years ago ... I wrote to one who asked me, 'How will I know?' ... my answer was simply ...

When you wake in the early morning
and want me more than that first cup of coffee ... GOTCHA~


This is a pondering of wonderful pretty wonderful thoughts~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
