Heliotrope

After a pause a short poem

stepping at the sun

with written ankles

our lips divided

the sun profiled two faces

passing a warm stone

Sensational as always...your poetry has the impact of summer after a long eclipse, so very beautiful Leslie! :)

[YouoweYoupay]

Subtle and thought-provoking. Because it's not just two lovers kissing in sunset... it goes deeper, in my percpective. The kiss might have been an exchange of goodbyes, stones might feel warm but they're also hard and you choke on them. The stone to me also felt like a sickness being pass from the person to the other. Written ankles was the most powerful line for me. Shackles of destiny and pre-written events.

Love the sweetness in the brevity!
Thanks for sharing.
Never stop writing.

a kiss as we pass that warm stone...two faces blending into one love.

Oh how much I have missed your ability to offer such profound poetry filled with pathos and images in so few words. A sunflower type experience that appears to separate two people but there still remains such warm memories.
