i can’t see you
the spring’s floral certitude
showers petals in my eyes
lingers on veils forgotten at the altars
dreams interpret the language of cicadas
somebody plays the violin in the green room
like a flamenco dancer in Seville
i toss and turn inside my soul
your breath scatters on my neck
i stretch my arms to harvest poems
tongues of fire from your eyes
linger on my silky dress
i fall
rose thorns bite my thighs
it smells earth and grass from an old spring
i turn the page
i close my eyes
and i can see you

i stretch my arms to harvest poems – i love this one line, the vibrancy of spring has seeped into your blood – lovely G!
Thank you so much, Gina. I am thrilled you liked that line.
It has..
Have a beautiful evening, my dear.
very much, loved this very much, have a sweet day my friend
💝
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Good morning G. This was as gentle as a heartbeat and beautiful as a rainbow. Truly left me breathless.
“Showers petals in my eyes, lingers on veils forgotten at the alter.” Amazing lines. This was a warm shower
in Spring.
You even tested the city boy with your “language of cicadas.”
You weaved a masterpiece here.
Good morning Drew
I did not have my coffee yet 🙂 and you shower me with compliments. Thank you so much. You just made my morning.
“Masterpiece”: I am thrilled.
May you have a beautiful day filled with the music of cicadas. Oh, I forgot, you are a city boy 😉
Thank you once again Drew. Be happy and inspired.
Yeah, over here, the music is obnoxious traffic, the rumble of overhead trains, and street merchants peddling their wares.
Go have your coffee. May it be as sweet as your poetry.
Have a gorgeous day.
Like boogie street? 🙂 🙂 🙂
You have a miraculous day and stay away of sugar .
LOL No sweeters needed G.
Great! That makes me happy 🙂
Laughing. Do you think your poetry is sweet enough?
Thank you for asking that. It certainly is 🙂 🙂 🙂
Anyway, after your vivid description of your surroundings all I can think now is Leonardo Cohen’s “boogie street.” 🙂
Funny, I keep replaying his Dance Me To The End Of Love. 🎵🎶🎼
Ay.. I played that last night.
“Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in”
🙂 🙂 🙂
Velcro lyrics and video.
wait.. it depends on the video 🙂
LOL I saw one that has stuck in my head.
I do not dare to ask which one 🙂
🤣🤣🎼🎶🎵
😊
Oh wow this is fabulous. Rose thorns bite my thighs–great line.
Aw… Thank you so much, my dear. I am thrilled you liked that line. Have a fabulous day filled with roses. No thorns 🙂
Wow, just wow. Beautiful G.
Aw… Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ash. You know how much your words mean to me.
You’re welcome. This picked up my day, thanks for that.
Let your day be fabulous, Ash!
Every word is gorgeously done, every line is a celebration of the poetry that you write. You are the best , G. No one can write like this. You are in a class of your own.
Aw.. the Queen of poetry is complimenting me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dearest. I am so humbled by your words. I really am.
Y when you have time can you extract my last comment from your spam folder? 🙂
Can’t find anything. I checked my spam and nothing there.
Ay… WP.. I will read and comment again. Thank you for looking sweetheart.
