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?!

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.

Very creative and romantic. Watch out a whole swarm of women will be knocking at your door if you write more like this one! You are very talented.

[Honestly, Abe]

This poem honestly left me speechless. You definitely have great talent, I'm blown away. BY FAR my favorite since being a member here. Excellently portrayed, the bits of repitition were expertly used to keep the reader on edge, I think that was my favorite aspect. Wow. I love love loved this.

I like the part that you will be playing cards. A card game is always fun with someone you care for. A very kind and gentle poem of love and desire. A excellent poem of love. Thank you.

ahh beautiful artistic creation! Although the beginning through me..it retains a soft and loving element which eases the poem along..your creative choice of words is outstanding as is the images you convey..mmmm super!

I'm honestly not sure that I understood everything.. separately yes.. together.. I dunno. I'm missing something.
However, I will say this: I really loved the imagery and the descriptions and phrasing that you've used.. it lends a really interesting tone to the piece.

Sorry I'm not able to review more. :/
