you weave starlight

you weave starlight
through the curls in my hair
allow me to wear the moon
as a party dress
one that sways seductively
in the warm night breeze


sharing a smiling silence
no filters or secrets
come between us
wrapped in the rolling mist
of a memorable summer night
i am transported to the place
i’ll always belong

Lydi, your first two lines allowed me to float in that special place only lovers know and then it just kept getting "nicer".. yes, there is a softness in these words, and through them a wellspring of passion that tenses just below the surface.. I can feel it wanting to wrap around your lover, to take both of you to that place and never leave... yes Lydi you are romantic. Funny, anyone who reads your words turns into a romantic, even an old scrub bucket like me. This poem is "nicely nice, Lydi-ishly nice" ... with "rolling mist" and I loved it!

A scrub bucket?? Oh, puleeeese.....this is me you're talking to. I have read YOUR romantic poetry, Curt! :) Thank you for this Curtishly review...you are da best! Lydi**

Lydi, you have been living in Florida too long, forgetting your Joisey Grrl grit. I'm in NYC now which is affectionately "scrub bucketville"... lol

[Lydia Shutter]

I have never heard that expression before, Curt...really!

[redzone]

Its an old janitors word. The bucket used to scrub the floors...it gets nasty real quick... actually, glad you never heard that word Lydi, sorry I was the one to introduce you to it...

[Lydia Shutter]

:) always happy to learn, Curt.

A stirring shiver...There's always a softness woven into your words where poetry lies in your heart, tender touches are your specialty...gorgeous Lydikey!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Frieda....yes, I can be a romantic fool! :) Lydi**

[Frieda P]

It's a very good thing, my pleasure ;)

[Frieda P]

I just wanted to let you know, my neighbor read this Lydikey and she loved it....she never squeals when she reads my poetry ;)

[Lydia Shutter]

Your neighbor squeals? OH MY! Thanks, Frieda! Lydi**

[Frieda P]

I know right? haha I'll tell her you said thanks....!

something to be said for no filters or secrets...and wearing the moon, makes the lover in her really shine brightest.

The warm humid air brings out the romantic in me, Jacob. Thanks for your review. Lydi**
