How nice to exchange in this blind sea of a place - glimpses of each other's light - even in the illumination of the dark within - because night is just day waiting to realize itself. Sweetness & Light

He said, “Sing” and I tried to sing.
He said, “Song” and I tried to carry the tune.
He said, “Sang” and I longed for the refrain.
He said, “Sung” and I had to let the echoes go.

You wrote this?
Wow.
The daily, weekly, or whenever it occurs to any of us. That seeking, that madness, the space in between. It is sometimes a struggle, sometimes a pleasure.

My good fortune to hang here intertwining a bit. Gratitude. And now to bed me.

Verbs. Not always necessary...
Nouns... on the other hand... place, person, or thing. Right? The who and what of our lives.
Interjections! Oh my! The intensity of what we live.

Good night, Pistil.
Still no verb in here...

ConTextual Love

Lady, you are a wonder to me—
how I can feel such tenderness

for a woman who is so real yet
only in the lonely intimacy of words.

This beautiful tender tough girl
of a woman who has spun herself

around me and taken me to a place
I can never reach yet never release.

This swell of feeling real as any
I've somehow never felt before.

How you have opened some door
and come into some place in me

with the light of so keen a mind
in the edge and tilt of your wit

and a bedded imagery that more than
all of the above will always live in

the afterglow embrace I would wish for—
the ember cherished more than the flame.

 

[Lupine]

Nice, love the softness of it..Great image as well.
