Christmas Eve with You sitting on a bed of chicory with somewhat rough edges lungs turning sap syrupy, alive with village children honey gold columns leaning close, twinkling in fleshless air red & green coverlet pillows, a harlequin dream in motionless stare high-postured reindeer, strut frames around cinnamon scents fireside berry of bright crimson, crackle like clairvoyant yellow gumdrops with pulse swimming, I lay my face on your emerald breast hands innocent, stroking my lips, flares red with shyness yet wanton for you to make my flesh braid & burn while my eyelashes, flutter against warm beading skin yours…. A flame from somewhere deep inside screams devour me now, as you promised, you see call me desire in your mouth, bringing me home in the dark hold me to you, like a delicate egg about to burst in the breath of your endearments calling out my name gather me up in your arms, like a green eyed student of love caramelized sweat, drips like agony melding into yours in my eyes, you recite the moon And I am still weeping from the “I am” you allow me to have to vocalize, my sweet mile to the east together we look deep into the greenery of the valley sitting in some white shadow of Christmas eyes we are interconnected and famished for life we look toward the village of scattered lights and realize all the half hopes have come to mature on the voice of a Christmas song we are paralyzed in this consciousness all night long I have "NO" idea what made me write this…????? Perhaps a Christmas wish? |

Wow hope it's not snowing where your at because your snowman might melt with the opening on this poem. Loved it! Seems to me during the holidays Our hearts yearn more than usual. Did a great job with your describtion. Definetly got my imagination going Are you talking about me here? I do live in the Sacramento Valley hehe I am still weeping from the “I am” you allow me to have to vocalize, my sweet mile to the east together we look deep into the greenery of the valley sitting in some white shadow of Christmas eyes |

Whew! Quite some heat in this LeeJ but beautiful, beautiful, heat. It's the master in you that wrote it for you to believe that it is indeed a wish - a wish of surrender to a woman's essential nature kept at bay by the enemy "life". "clairvoyant yellow gumdrops" When mind is all we are left with, I want to be somewhere in the vicinity of yours! |
