"But Your Eyes Are Soooooo - You..."

"But Your Eyes... Are Soooooo - You..."

 

Sharing a quiet morning coffee

with you 

would lead to dinner 

and midnight snacks 

and Sunday brunch... 

and holidays in the country 

and picnics along the shore.

"Nothing" trips to "nowhere" places

and selfless laughter,

'secret' smiles.

 

There would be

walks

and talks

hands being ...hands

held and holding

hearts smiling

eyes being filled

- with moments

- with meaning

- with wishes made

in the

moonlight

and sunlight

and soft sensuous breezes -

the quiet whispers of desire

the heated touches of passion

the gentlest "afters" kisses.

 

Morning ...coffee -

sitting on stair steps

porch steps

gazing lost

being found

...living IN the rain

...with - the rain...

and the echoes of

the Thunders and

our ...lightnings

our being -

our     our - such a little word

and so full of 

the deepest breaths we take...

morning ...coffee

and the softest eyes

gazing into...

tomorrows.

Chris,

Your works are new to me and after seeing a friend's comment concerning one of your most recent posts, it is the inquisitive nature of me to go through your list of poems before settling on one to review, and so it is here that I have first arrived to read and review - a lovely place to start as it is morning and the coffee is brewing as with eloquence you share with us a handwritten version of your poem which is something I rarely see anymore, a treat, a treasure, a most delightful treasure I add.

As your words tumble down the pages with expressions of tender sentiment, I am quite caught in awe of the emotion you share with the reader. All I can say is, "Captivating"!

Thank you for sharing part of you with us in our today!!

Sheila - if I may... thank you for pausing with me and for expressing your thoughts. You are ALWAYS welcome to pause and speak your mind as you like. I'ld pour you a mug of coffee or tea and talk ideas with you any day.

[Sheila Kline]

Thank you Chris! It would indeed be a pleasure to share a mug of coffee and share ideas, views, opinions, musings, -thoughts of a beautiful fall day, of a rain covered walkway, of snowdrifts in winter and how the cold wind whisks away the steam swirling above the coffee mug...all such delightful thoughts!

I love it! Especially the coffee line :)

[Lucifer Jones]

I always find myself among your bookshelves... Beautifully crafted imagery. Emotions oh so familiar and welcomed. A work so powerful I can hear the grinder, smell the coffee and remember those eyes with a smile. A time when all tomorrows were bright and cheery. And whispers... Well, whispers just were. Your journeys conjure the most amazing memories for me. Pieces and tidbits I have long forgotten in my cluttered attic. Beautiful my friend. You once referred to me as "light man"... I defer. I thank you for the sharing of your world and am humbled by it's grace. Yes... I can go on... but I wont. I LOVED this.

I can picture a couple doing this. I noticed how you said "There would be" as someone describing what it would be like when he married. I see this set in the future instead of the present. Not bad kid, I noticed.

This is perfect for us - right in the middle of our honeymoon....

[NANCY MCCORMACK]

It is the simple things in life that have the deepest meaning and need to be treasured the most.
this is exactly how a day with my husband would be, and it is incredible.

I love the touch of adding the photo of the poem. This is a beautiful, loving work, filled with soft and lovely images. I really enjoyed the read.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

First and foremost, you have excellent penmanship! Like you, I hand write everything; and all of my work is signed, dated, and timed. Secondly, I love the selflessness of this poem, the permeation of "we, us, our" that overrides the singular "me" or "I." So few today seem to get this. While I don't drink coffee, I can certainly appreciate the quietude of both the morning and your words. They speak volumes to the soul.
