Lover Mine

lover mine

 

lover mine…he is the thread

through a needle’s eye…the preface

to a book i can never put down…a

crudité of pleasure ever sated upon

my tongue…he is the rush of bated

breath…the wind beneath my tattered

wing…the prayer that brings me to

my knees…he is theStradivarius to

my rosin bow, with eyes of a cerulean

blue …he is the lump in my throat that

beats like the hooves of a thousand steeds…

the hand that rests upon my thigh

on long afternoons of driving north and

yielding slow…the inventory of a stare,

he is…lover mine.

wow! that's all i can say Kelly ...wow! so wonderfully exotic .. electric .. and soothing .. the innuendo is so subtly sexual ...what a great idea to take phrases from your poetry and put them into "lover mine" ... i feel a fever coming on Legs ;)

[Kelly Scheppers]

I thought it would be cool to do something a little diverse. I am thrilled you enjoyed it, Gene! x

[andrew mitchell]

You did this write so well, had poise and strength in its portrayal. Just lovely.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was going to attempt to use different poem titles as a mix, than decided to go with a compilation of phrases instead. I think the other way may have taken forever. Thanks, Andrew!

[Cassie]

Poems like this ones makes me smile

[Kelly Scheppers]

It made for quite a compilation, didn't it? Thank you, Cassie!

[Cassie]

yes it did

[Lyn Anderson]

This poem gave me goosebumps. Just loved it. And the form and font only add to the beauty.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Lyn. So sorry I did not receive word of your comment!

[AYVID N]

Hats off to you Kelly for this masterpiece and I am so humbled. This poem is a perfect mix of the spiritual and sensual and any words I say further would be doing no justice to it. This is how it feels to be madly and profoundly in love with someone out of this world. Thank you for taking me there.

[Kelly Scheppers]

My sweet girl, thank you so much!

[AYVID N]

It was such a great pleasure!

[Richard🖌]

Lover yours, Kelly, and divinely lucky!
Well, each line and phrase may have been cherrypicked and gathered into one brilliantly composed verse, but they all originated from You, and that's what makes us stand-up and take notice, because we all know how originally unique, irresistibly charming, and deliciously enthralling your poetry is.

Love it, but don't I love everything Kelly! ⁓ Richard ; )


(psst! get rid of all that annoying empty space and make the font smaller … LOL!)

[Kelly Scheppers]

A funny thing happened when I went to edit this. I lost the formation of the poem and for some reason, the copying and pasting of it wouldn't take. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, trying to figure out what to do...plus, with all the problems I've been having with the pages here being unresponsive, I didn't know what was actually getting through the way I intended it to. All that space was the hardest to eliminate - no matter what I did, I couldn't get the page to respond. Oh well, reading your review certainly made up for all of that. A thousand thank you's, dear friend! x

A quilt. A patchwork of different emotional fabrics, yet all coalescing into a unique singularity of time and place. Like dancing through a rushing mountain stream, dancing from rock to rock, no two the same, but all together a path is completed, and a familiar, emotional purchase is achieved. Thanks for this poem(s), poet.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've certainly been lucky, having you here with me after all these years. Thank you for this something magical you've created - just for me!

[C. M. Miller]

The magic is yours, you serve, and I attempt to volley.

[emmajoy]

This really is a clever, .beautiful and passionate piece of writing. Plus the fact that the font shouts loud and clear, methinks has more meaning than most. TIs as if you've turned the past passions into the rosy red apple of temptation. Lucky creature! Brilliantly readable.

'.. he is the Stradivarius to my rosin bow, with eyes of a cerulean blue …'

[Kelly Scheppers]

That seems to be everyone's favorite line...I am thrilled you enjoyed this, Em. Thank you! x

[emmajoy]

Was tempted with , ' ..the preface to a book i can never put down .. ' It's what tempts from the start, the need to know more, to go further.. :)

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I LOVE the BIG BRIGHT RED NOTICE....He is LOVER MINE!

[Kelly Scheppers]

If you're actually seeing red, please let me know. Thank you, darlin!

[Ardra]

It's like when you really crave for something special... I kind of coming looking for something special to your page and I am never disappointed... :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such a lovely compliment...thank you!
