"I Wouldn't Presume..."

Just a thought - but it isn't Spring yet...

Behind our eyes is where we live… while in front of our eyes is where we often wish we were.

 

"I Wouldn't Presume…"

 

but

 

Come lass,

share the sun's touch

the aerie's wonder

the clarity of a finger's tip -

brushing that bang back to where it belongs.

 

Walk beside - walk along

pause and breathe and be.

Listen and be heard -

Sign and sing and move to the heart within.

Touch and be - touched

hold and be …held…

 

I miss the feel of breath 'çross my cheek,

the taste of a lavandar heart on my lips,

the soft echoes of tones filling my soul

as I melt into the very world I watch -

awaiting each …now

awaiting as each …pause… fills my hand

with a gently trembling you.

 

Sun's rise

Sun's set

befores and afters and moments of ever,

sillysoft smiles and eyes so full of just being …near -

I can hear the winds' tears

falling 'cross the world -

becoming the rivers' roar

and the oceans' ceaseless weave.

I taste an endless you in every breath

and exhale an endless me to walk each path's memories.

 

As I sit here 

staring

into the gaze of eternity's eyes… dreaming of my you

do you …dream… of your own me?

 

…just a thought,

I do that ya know…

 

It's what we do.

These are the thoughts that so often remain unspoken. 'I wouldn't presume,' how such convention can draw a veil over what might be.

Tender and quite beautifully written. T

Nice of you to pause...

[InsidiousRain]

Astounding. The imagery is so vivid, you are there. The beckoning of the reader in the beginning is perfect, you can feel the trace of a finger on a cheek. I love "As I sit here/staring/into the gaze of entity's eyes...dreaming of my you". I off my hat to you, sir.

[Chris]

It isn't flattery when it's meant... right? Hi I'm Chris.

Holds a sway as the limbs slowly move to the tone and sound of the words xo

[modtoddinc]

Excellent. Nice structure, imagery, and flow. I felt as though I was there... superbly done.

Just when I think you can't possibly top yourself ..You top yourself... lol

"I taste an endless you in every breath

and exhale an endless me to walk each path's memories.".... wow...

Dreams touching realities heart .. blending evers, and nevers .. so softly sweet.

You had my heart from the start.. .. I'll not soon forget this one..

it's the "but" that bites eh!? ... i wax enigmatic reading your poems .. just can't help myself! .. i want to point out lines and phrases that capture me ... but ... :) there are too many ... i dont know if the speaker is connected or dreaming .. and of course that raises the question ... which is pinching real? i think this is a great poem .. one to be read over and over ...

[KWP]

always i sink and sink until i am totally sunk within your words - this time proves no different - an ethereal feel held dear in eternity - nice Chris XX

[Lubna]

Great poem. I'm a beginner in writing and reading this tells me how far I have to go.

[Chris]

Techniques and formats are learnable - but the "inner" heart has to be you and your own. Just be you. Welcome to WC.

[Lubna]

Thanks. I'll make sure of it.

[Chris]

It IS good seeing you here...

[Jaweena...Eileen Quintana]

great writing always call you back :)
A glimpse into another life, a different perspective - we are more similar then we are different :)

I suppose there is a Spring before and different from the calendar labeled season. A Spring from inside different from the one I watch voyeur-like through the panes is a real season too.

"It's what we do." Nice, I like that.
