Psithurism Interludes

I think I might just soon, share something of an exquisite secret ..

Psithurism Interludes

 

One day perhaps

I want

and shall, invite

you, into

an open glass

fronted room

with ocean view

and you

will lay with me

there ..

On top of both

our hastily

discarded robes

and where

beneath a navy

spiralled,

Van Gogh sky ..

You may 

choose to watch

and feel

me resurrect

against

the backdrop

of a gentle and oh’

so rhythmic

psithurism ..

Both more than

merely

grateful to a very

welcome breeze ..

Yet still

keen to leave each

of those dead

and drying

orchestral leaves

outside

our deliciously

and deliberately,

unlocked open door ..

Author's Note

psithurism - the sound of rustling leaves .. from the Greek, meaning to whisper 💛

I can not for the life of me Neville, understand why this poem hasn’t got more reviews, so I hope a second visit might send it spinning round the forum again. Apart from being so sensual, it also speaks to me of freedom. Open doors and open skies. And the exquisite secret?

[Neville]

thank you, but no worries Chris I know that folk do visit but are for various reasons, many of which I also suspect are too scared, or too embarrassed to leave anything behind .. and then of course, there are those I have been forced to block .. Neville

106 views, three comments and two are mine. You are certainly being read, but your work is deserving of more comments in my humble opinion.

Oh a new word for my lexicon. First of all thankyou for that my friend. And to see it is such a romantic setting as well. Doubles even triples the pleasure. Wonderful.

[Neville]

Excellent .. am glad to be of service Ken .. many thanks .. Neville

I'm not so inclined to be the one that you were inviting but I had to find out what psithurism meant, to find, that at present, we have lots of that going on!
Psithurism here, psithurism there, psiturism everywhere.

[Neville]

I won't say a word sir, just keep taking the pills and scrub the infected areas with a very stiff brush.

Best,
Neville

hello Neville, love it! A great depiction of psithurism,
the whole event of lovers within them,
and looking into the sky,
very romantic, :D :P ----Maynard

[Neville]

Rustling leaves and unlocked doors, the freedom and the symphony... these are all welcoming and releasing. That is an excellent poem Nev!
