Gloves Off It came to light inside That feeling meant to change me Profound, these thinking chords Keeping my skirt neat Were my stockings straight? That day you appeared so benign, did nothing to dampen my perpetual desire! And less is not a curse, but a conviction To be more…deeper, stronger…closer, longer And you? Do men always measure everything By the length of their perception? Well listen then, Let me stand my ground Hear my heart, go or stay around Romance does not begin in sin Just as breathing cannot be trained Nor principals, a line drawn in the sand Passion drives, and we are passengers And yes, at times the timid speak loudly In a room filled with voided amnesty Not needing to stand out, just stand up Let the birds eat the breadcrumbs, My feet seek an epic adventure The one where my arrow flies Straight to your heart It came to light inside A huntress, with nothing more to say Quiver, filled with inspiration now in play Motivation by the peck in a long, slow kiss Meant to tickle your fancy Gloves off…just like this Copyright Kkh 11/7/06 |

"Romance does not begin in sin Just as breathing cannot be trained Nor principals, a line drawn in the sand Passion drives, and we are passengers" What a strong poem, I enjoyed it greatly.  ~Miranda~ *Cabuk parlayan cabuk soner* |

you definitely have the gloves off in this plus you have a few things on your mind...that it sounds like you would also like to get off. Well done verse. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

It has been a very long time since I’ve chanced to spend a ‘very long time’ deeply studying one poem! [THIS is the one!.....] Parts of this poem are what I call grand- or universal-level poetry that slip along the immortal plain...... containing many individual lines that are ‘poems in themselves’ [as reminicent of the marvelous works ofHenry David Thoreau]…… lines such as: “Passion drives, and we are passengers” and men ‘measuring everthing’: ”By the length of their perception” and, then, for an unabashedly ‘incurable romantic’ like myself…..there is the quintessential quest!: “My feet seek an epic adventure The one where my arrow flies Straight to your heart” I shall be re-readin’ this one ‘til infinity taps on my window panes! [both as a man……and an (alleged) poet…I am deeply touched and humbled (on many levels for many reasons) by this write!] |
