probably not what you think but maybe

the cat came back another collection

His heart

his heart is in his eyes
you said
(you're right)
etched in the little lines
in all the spaces a man can smile.

and he gave it to me
honest and free
when he said, in his quiet way
I couldn't be how I am with you
if my heart wasn't in it.

momentary pauses

nestled inside the momentary pauses
in a hectic frenzy of all we have to do

me
and
you

solace in syncope

syncope stops breath
in mid flight
yet here
i find solace
you catch me
frozen
under the sun.

Scattered choruses
somehow find their groove
when I am with you.

Yup, that. Another great collection of random musiness. Weill done.

(Yeah, I made that word up.)

I like made up words. When they fit.:)

I love all of these, but I think the first one is my favorite because I feel like I can relate to it. These are all very beautiful, regardless. :) And thank you for being so kind to me.

[Lyn Anderson]

Kindness should beget kindness, and you have been a calm and lovely presence here, and should not be subjected to any personal attacks for having an opinion. And thank you, if you are lucky, like you are, you wake up every day to that smile.

[Brittany Zedalis]

That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me on here. Thank you so much. ^-^

I like to play with words, but I don't B.S. I believe it.

If you can find your groove with someone and he can melt the icicles on your skin (love the idea of being frozen under the sun), he is a keeper for sure. I find an honest romanticism in your words...a way of looking at love, lust, and romance that is unusual. Great stuff, KL. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much. I take that as a very nice compliment coming from such a romantic soul.

2things I think KL, 1) this was an amazing series of poems, they nestled nicely togeter as if it were all one poem, written as one... 2) and independent of your intentions, I found them romantic and loverly... I might even say (or think), KL, you just might be in love..

I know if I had written these, I would be in love... but then no one has ever accused me of being romantic or sane... go figure...

Cool poetry KL

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. I appreciate the wonderful review. People have different definitions of love, being in love, sometimes things just are the way they are. :)

[Delmar Cooper]

[Lyn Anderson]

Again a collection of such readable bite size pieces. Loved 'His Heart' and 'Scattered Choruses' most.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much.
