you are the poem i read

"anastasia" by garmash

when the world is overwhelming

and the horizon is suddenly dark

you are the poem i read

your waterfalls of emotion drench me

i open my mind to a kaleidoscope of color                

            an ever-changing palette of hues

like colonizing a new country

words build new meanings

            then take up residence in my psyche

each one like a kiss on my cheek

                        then my neck

                                    and beyond

each one thrilling me just a little more

till the world is not so bad after all

and i’m hungry to take a bite out of my day

            you need to know this

you are the poem i read

Nothing like love to start the day, especially when we are in need of inspiration. Love makes everything brighter and better. Your words are much appreciated.

Some poems have a particular day kind of a feel to them. This one resonates with a monday for me...with a hint of friday on the horizon!

Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah, Lydi!

My best,
Kelly

ahhh, another highly sensual gem, especially enjoyed: like colonizing a new country
words build new meanings
then take up residence in my psyche
each one like a kiss on my cheek
then my neck
and beyond

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much. Lydi**

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Wow Lydi, A wonderfully romantic piece and I am guessing a poet has your fancy? Strange how the writing of others can touch us so deeply and so meaningfully.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, John.....to me, people are poetry. Not necessarily about a poet. People who are special to me are poems...and I "read" them. Lydi**
