feed me

If only I could eat it up

feed me
your happiness.

I want to
slurp up
your smile
like a warm
cup of soup.

so tired of
feeling like
a worn out
dishrag,
emotions
re-wrung
one time
too many.

spoon me
your kisses
like sloppy
sweet desserts
on a lazy
sunny Sunday.

don't leave
me for real
life -- just
this one time,
please stay.

Oh, thank you, I appreciate it.

[Frieda P]

You're obsessed with food metaphors lately...and sappy stuff. ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

I wrote this one to counter balance the vulture poem and the words blurred poem. I figured people would be "oh no, she's on the EX-train again"

[Frieda P]

Don't think I read that one yet, I'm behind schedule, wonky payroll Wednesday you know...but your passion is gone mad when you write those kinds...

[Matching Socks]

I just love this. I'm a sucker for these sweet poems.
Nice job!

[Lyn Anderson]

why thanks darling.

[Matching Socks]

Anytime gorgeous... ;)

[Matching Socks]

Yeah I'm flirting. Just to keep the rumours flying... :)

I love the title, short but oh so direct. I think everyone feels like this sometimes. The world can be a dark, lonely place that weighs us down, and we all need someone to show us the kindness to spoonfeed us their happy face once in a while. I swear, sometimes I wish I could just pop open a vein and get a direct happiness IV straight into my bloodstream for instant lift. Great writing, my friend. Happy thoughts to you! hugs.

[Lyn Anderson]

thank you as always.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I always love a good sappy poem, and this was the maple syrup on my romantic pancakes.

[Lyn Anderson]

Aww, glad to pour the syrup.

Hmmm, Jason Aldean videos now. This gets the Cowboy's 5 Spurs seal of approval.

Mmmm, a "tasty" write here ma'am.

Well done.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah yeah White hat. You know why. ;)

[NoelHC]

Who? Moi? Je suis innocent! Cowboy music FTW!

[Rene Salinas]

Nurturing through another human being. That's a great idea a slightly dangeorus proposition even as if reciprocity is not found is more like a one way sucking. Don't leave me for real life? That must be a strong feeling. The passion and sweetness found here is contagious.

As for he spoon fed moment.

No way am I going back to them moments of sleepless nights and changing nappies.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha ha thanks for the review.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

If music be the food of love and all that your poetry expresses such deep longing in this one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Funny how sometimes others see more than I thought I wrote. Thank you.

[Chris]

to many or too many?

things said as we awake... sigh.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for catching that!

[MsJewel]

A delicious little sensual treat that has left me with a smile!
I'm keeping this one to read again and again!
