lazy love

Sun sprinkles 

drenching our skin 

dripping on our souls 

quenching our thirst  

with golden hues and splashes of greens 

we hide from the tempest 

inside a fort designed by 

our lips and tangled limbs 

grabbing at my hip 

drawing me close 

all the while whispering 

with a wolfish smile 

I love this storm

Crystal, I think I've told you this before, but whenever I see a piece of your work in my request box I always review it first (even though I'm way behind...I've got 82 RRs to do). One way I've determined to know if the write (and the poet) is going to be top shelf is when it appears that it was written effortlessly, without editing or changing anything. First draft? Send it. I may be wrong about this, but your writing style is so basic yet elegant all at once. It makes me read it like 3 times even though I "got it" after first read. This is truly outstanding writing, young lady. Keep sending me RRs, yes? take care...dan

Thank you so much Dan! I normally just edit the spelling errors, but most of my stuff is first draft. I think poetry should be raw and right from the vine as it where. I love getting lost in the first feeling of a piece before you have time to rethink or revise your emotions at a later date. To me that is like rewriting history. I am so happy that you also like that kind of writing because its one of the reason i like you work so much.
