crazy longing

crazy longing

 

 

screaming mute siren

gorgeous incentives bellow

anticipation swells

 

moss worn excitement

almost non-existent

now a smooth amulet

to the touch

 

you are a warning

i fail to heed,

as my fingers absorb your voice

caressing each syllable

 

with a reckless abandon

that shatters the din

of sanity

and lets me live again.

Do you dive in too soon? Do you just dive in?
Sometimes you've just got to jump right in.

Love with a warning is very tempting ..the desire of taking the chance at letting go ..and feeling excitment..the longing .crazy ..yes...but oh so worth it..nice work Jacob..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

after not reading poetry (or writing much of it) for at least a few months I find myself trying to find your words. Is this fandom? Aesthetic isolation? An attitude, like a mother who has to buy her son the gymshoes the other kids wear? But again I want to find something, something that lets me live again, this is, in poetry-time I mean some gift-of-life-sideways-maneuvering where words alone can save this slippery world around us by opening an erstwhile closed door. now that's crazy longing my friend....dana

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you will write soon and often...and your muse always brings such joy to others when you write.
it will happen soon.
thanks for your words on this one, dana.

you are so wonderful at metaphors and descriptives and leaving the reader to decipher and really think about what you write, its wonderful

“you are a warning i fail to heed”- this is a very meaningful and resonant line for me dear j. These words and the way they speak to taking another chance on love and life, are so inspirational and uplifting. Sensual, celebratory, ardent poem. Beautifully written. I’ll choose love over sanity any day!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

me too...thanks Annette...appreciate your kind words and how you relate.

A song can mean so much. It can magically transport the listener to a better place....and time. There is no sanity when it comes to longing, is there? I liked this one a lot. Lydi**

thank you for your words, Lydi.

I am picturing you listening to a beautiful songstress and you, eyes closed, allowing your imagination to carry you away to place visited less frequently but enjoyed greatly.
