Sing It

May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love! - Thoreau

love so prized

souls synchronized

eternity devised

i want to kiss you

exchanging tongues of morning and salivant of dew

every which way

because there is no tomorrow today

you and i don't hear the music

we are the music

i want this revelation to linger

wrapped around your finger

me the microphone

you the singer

This is beautifully written! I love the analogy you use: a couple comapred with music, like a singer and microphone, the couple were meant to be, their love is pure perfection just like the instruments, singers and microphone that creates such enchanting music

[Pete]

when it's right, it's right. thank you ... :)

[Aura]

You are welcome!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so good...."me the microphone, you the singer"
And the idea that we are the music rather than hearing it....we live it, we are it together...
let the music play on.

I am EXTRA EXTRA jealous! Mr. Passionate, Spiritual Pete! not only here is LOVE between two souls but also here is LOVE between the singer and his music that's why I am EXTRA jealous! souls synchronized... eternity devised... we don't need to hear music, we are the music... one day I will know how to collect some lines like these! how love goes on? with creativity, with growth, with raw... without expectations... live the moment, no why or who... no rules to set what love is or else it will be robbed of its raw and genuine essence. You know I can swear that You lived every single line to the rim there! another exceptional sublime superior poem! and that second verse! I don't know how You did it but YOU DID! 100000000..../100.

[Pete]

i must have lived these lines. am expressing thoughts and feelings. you already know how to collect such lines in your own unique, poetic way. the best things in life float freely (love & music). expressions of ourselves and lending what is within us to others. nothing better - soulmates and sweet music. sing and play on my dear friend ... :)

Sometimes love can indeed make it seem like there is no time but now. Actually, that's the truth, but with romantic love, that truth can be seemingly swept away with great rapidity.

[Pete]

sounds like someone who knows what he's talking about. it can be like a double edged sword. as usual, thanks for sharing j the b ... :)

This is breathtaking!
i want to kiss you
exchanging tongues of morning and dewy saliva
every which way
because there's no tomorrow today
Love the pharse!

[Pete]

i'm the type that falls in love to quickly and ends up hurt. nothing better in this world than when it clicks and that song is playing. thanks so much for sharing karen ... :)

[KAREN]

My pleasure!

No review! Well, it deserves one! I enjoyed this very much! you had me believing it was a hot fling between a man and woman! The ending brought a smile to my face! Clever poem!

[Pete]

well it started out as a write about a hot fling but i threw in a bit of a monkey wrench. i often write in such a way that multiple interpretations are possible - the reader decides what it means to them. thanks so much for sharing kathy ... :)

My pleasure, Pete!
