Hope is the Ground You Walk On

okay, tea
you can be sipped
tepid or cool steam rising
or falling
like the rising
or falling
of your smooth chest turned
upwards exposed to the naked
of the night

yet still,
you can be still
in the stillness of it
all stars in shortened stride
you are the moon rising
or falling
on my horizons spilling
rubies rising
or falling
in my diamond studded sky

let me reach you.

the blanket over my shoulders
the cord to my creation

the incandescence of things to come
for lovers playing cards.

Author's Note

A love poem, by me? What?!

Reviews

[J.Black]

As much as no man wants to let his pride down and show his softer side- who knew what you could make of it! You write differently from others on this site- with emphases on particular things that don't always posses much beauty- such as a simple cup of tea. You're crafting words so lovely- I might just have to toss my coffee out! Haha.

"you are the moon rising

love is the biggest inspiration a poet can have.

There's something so mesmerizing about love poems, especially ones like this, with imagery so boldly painted and used in only the purest, most enveloping ways. Gorgeous piece, and a treat to read. :)

Looking for gems today that lift the heart and mind.. Found one here! There is such a tender beauty filling the whispers of each line. Voiced with honesty and devotion.

Your way of writing is interesting. It requires some thought to interpret, and that is the kind I like. Because of the way you describe something, you keep the reader's mind moving, taking it almost all over the place. I really like that.
This is a beautiful write!

Wonderful piece from you, the second stanza is very lovely. Overall I really enjoyed this one. :)

I love, love the way you address tea, and then turn it into a sensual observation. The sexiness is so clear, but not overpowering. And your alliteration was wonderful! Great, great job!

full of life, words & motion making this piece a divine read, free of restrictions & restraint. very close to my ideal liking, so very hard to be objective, for i don't want to.

thank you!
