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 Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I love how you broke it up and the format to the poem, it adds to the impact of your words of true desire.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you I appreciate it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are very welcome.

[NoelHC]

"need became want" moved me, well done collection, good to see even when super busy, you still had time to jot these down, and thank you for sharing.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes the reminder on my phone is full of grocery lists and appts and poems.

[NoelHC]

Just as long as we don't see a stanza that reads like "Milk, bread, eggs, sugar, coffee...." in a future, continue with this style, I love it! ; )

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha ha you know I am tempted to do that now...

[Matching Socks]

Warm moments paired with a great song.
Enjoy these moments KL.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I was running around this week and put these in the reminder bin on my phone. In the old days it was the back of a napkin or matchbook :)

[Matching Socks]

Rainy days must really sucked in the old days. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh yeah, I remember washing my share of poems too.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

His Earth and the final one are the best very emotion packed and descriptively powerful.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for stopping by. These are some of the things I jotted on my phone while busy this week.

"you let them in/ and i felt you"

love that line...

and that first one, good way to be grounded...

[Lyn Anderson]

I am glad you liked that combo, that means it had the desired effect.
