trench warfare
between your subconscious and mine
during the night
over my head
love words like cannonballs have flown
at the edge of some imaginary bed
sensuality has wept in B major
caged like a bird
i choked on metaphors
strategies of conquest
swam inside your mind
like koi fish in a pond
waters…
i drink and burst to light
roses crawl around my body
scented by eight aromatic salts
the pages of your book
sit empty now
white orchids hanging in a tree
don’t cry
your book is the last place
in which you want to look for me

Good morning G. I see someone is up way TOO early for a Sunday morning.
Another wonderful poem with images and emotions so vivid and detailed.
Lovely little rhyme in your delightful finale, too.
Hope your weekend is going well. Have a gorgeous Sunday.
Watch out for the cannonballs.
Good morning Drew.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words. Their beauty woke me up.
I wasn’t 100% up. I never am at this hour. I get to 100% at 4pm 🙂
I hope your weekend is going well too.
Wishing you a day filled with love and magic!
The cannonballs?
I have metal bars set into heavy timber in my bedroom. I store them here LOL
Thanks for your lovely reply. Oh, you make me laugh. Wishing you all the same.
By the way, a quite interesting choice of home decor.
I thought it was interesting. I’m glad you think so too! LOL
I hope your morning coffee was great. May the whisper of evening be even greater!
LOL . Coffee was perfect. Had an entertaining read along with it; making for a great and inspiring start to the day.
May your muses whisper into your ear all day long.
I am glad to hear that the coffee and the readings were great.
Can’t wait to see what’s cooking 😉
Looking forward to reading your next post, Drew.!
