Confound me

some more packaged thoughts.

his earth

despite the fact
he confounds me,

heart pounds me,
surrounds me,
drowns me,
in kisses from
the tip of my nose
to the tops
of my toes --

and in this act
he grounds me,
to his earth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sips of sanity --

he offered me
his cup,

I drank to
fill me up.

and need
became want.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      

Memories

elicit
emotions
extending

insistent
instants
into

me

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stolen,
Broken into;
violated --

for once
you needed me
just as much
as I needed you.

and I didn't have
to steal my after kisses --
you let them in
and I felt you

dream.

The journey to make that connection… I like the way you end with "dream." It speaks to me of hope that the connection made grows into a lifelong commitment.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you I appreciate it.

This is another that takes you on a journey through each small section. I love this, KL! :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Aww thanks. Have you written more of your book? Would love to get back to it.

[Madalyn Beck]

I am working on it! I'm hoping to post some more soon. :)

I dream, I just usually don't remember them anymore. But when I dream of my love, I always remember those dreams.

In those dreams my ego isn't inflated and I don't get in my own way. Unfortunately, my reality isn't the same as my dreams. But I do still try to keep my ego in check.

Very good write KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Those early days of love before the ego wrestles back their affection. Great penning, KL>

Amazing poetry dear Poet. A sensitive journey into emotion and contentment. I like the set-up of the poem. Allowed the reader to fall in the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I enjoyed your poetry. My last poems to be read. I begin my four days of work.

I just love these KL... EACH poem letting us into a world of such emotion that one could really feel each piece. I admire how you grouped these writes together and the formatting... Brilliantly done.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for the kind words.

[Delmar Cooper]

Wonderful thoughts. These tiny little poems are not dimunitive at all- even a small diamond is a diamond.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you I appreciate your kindness always.

lots to like about this ... love the scattered form .. "his earth" that all by itself is fantastic to me .. a refreshing shout out to the man ;) .. his common sense grounds sanity .. gives memories .. then the turn in your last three verses .. aaaaaarg! tell me it hasn't gone wrong!!!! really like this one KL!! for sure!

[Lyn Anderson]

There is no turn. Read it again. Thank you.

[Einstein Noodle]

perhaps this threw me a bit:
"Stolen,
Broken into;
violated --" .... i see the change is a positive one .. love has blossomed .. been given and is returned in a deeper way .. where need to becomes i want to .. i still think something has happened to change things ... read it twice more :) and it happens in those last three verses ... ;)

you know KL this was just "confounded" good!!! to want and need someone, to be able to love and make love, and feel them "dream"..... SIGH and when they feel the same toward you, DAMN!!! I want some of your "confoundness".... I hope you can tell I loved your "packaged thoughts", what will happen when your thoughts are "unpacked"... ;0)
