       Recollections
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              Kellie
I was intoxicated by you.
My beautiful dark eyes muse, you made me beg for seconds of time, to be near you.
You were a wild spirit tempting life, leaving my foolish hearts to wish for tender kiss
and long embrace.

I remember you beautiful Kellie.
You were a smile, kind words and stormy memory.
Now your face a scattered memory,
yearning to be spoken a loud.

-----------
                         Confession of a lover
Madness, secret whispers and hidden wishes.
Dear Kellie. Can you hear my bounded and quiet wishes.
Wishes to taste salty skin and to surrender to private needs and want.
I want to taste the sea and to dance with you near the wild sea.
I want my deck of cards of living to fall into proper place.
Where you and I.
Lay bare and free.
Where true words are spoken and love is alive and well.

Kellie must have been one of those all encompassing loves. I remember the feeling. It's a thick kind of passion and will strangle you if you let it.

I hope this is not an allusion to loss in the physical. If it is, I'm sorry for your loss. The pictures you paint here are evocative. The phrasing could be changed around a little, but that's just me. I'm always changing my sentence structures to try and find the perfect presentation.

Great piece of poetry, John. Time heals most wounds, but we poets torture ourselves to keep them fresh for our pens!

We do and we must torture ourselves to keep good memory alive. Thank you Brett for reading and the comment.

I find myself lost in this. I am thinking better to have loved and lost. I find myself thinking how heartbreaking this is. I can remember the wishes I had.
Lovely, if sad piece John.

Those wishes become less painful with time and distance. Thank you Ken for reading and the comment.

Beautiful, longing desires flow from this loving that rose wild within you in her warm presence. How powerful is love that it leaves a mark on your soul even as the fire turns to these embers of remembrance.

wow! what a beautiful play with words. The lover would want to fall in your arms and dance carefree and wild. Whether the memory is dead or alive, whether the person is near or far the feelings never seem to fade. Heart you.

could be a lover deceased or just thoughts about a relationship that ended...but the longing is still there, the memories here remind me of the memories i have of my first love, Cindy...

i still feel her near me sometimes, still smell her perfume, remember how her kisses made me weak-kneed...

beautiful poem
