You, Her, She And It

you're the dulcet, enigmatic lyrics to the telling song I'd have writ'

the warm, iridescent yarn of the snug sweater i'd knit

the magnetic rays of my ardent sun that you emit

the lonely distance of missing you that i spit

the trusty copilot in my lonely cockpit

the stalwart arms of the gelid chair in which my faltering heart does sit

i need you

why don't you get it

Melancholy yet witty. Lovley love song of dispair and yet hope. I really enjoyed this rich write.

Persisting itself down and very stromy in the western highlands of Scotland There are several deer sheltering in my garden and my greyhound/ saluki Bodhi is going nuts.

I meant stormy if I could spell

lovely. one time a small heard of traveling deer came out of the woods behind my house in the back yard clearing to rest. they all laid down upon folded legs. we don't soon forget such gifted things ... :)

The love and heartbreak in this piece are beyond moving Pete. I cannot speak for all women out there obviously but man do I wish she understood... because to feel that amount of love for one person could push the boundaries of time and space.

[Pete]

one of my faults or strengths (depending on how you look at it). I guess still waters run deep and sometimes we need a life preserver to stay afloat. thanks for understanding and feeling it brittany ... :)

That last line - I’m thinking why on earth doesn’t she get it?

Pete this little poem is wonderfully romantic in the most creative way. It is a really super poem. Well done.

You'd definitely think she'd understand after all of that but...some women don't get it on purpose I am afraid. And I guess some just don't want it either. When the right one comes along you won't have to ask.

[Pete]

ouch. they used to call it playing hard to get, not sure what they call it now. some like the thrill of the chase more than being caught. true what you say. nature takes its course, no need to force the issue. when it's right, it's right no matter ... :)
