I Am Losing Myself In Your Words

I Am Losing Myself In Your Words

I love your words.

I often find myself lost in them,

wandering around,

watching them floating

in crystalline, Spring like pools

their colors blazing

like a mid day sun,

yet tasting like honeysuckle

as they roll off my tongue.

I love your words.

***

I love your words.

Enticingly exotic

syllables of Blue Orchids

scenting the jungle

in dawn’s early light,

yet lingering and weaving

themselves into Summer’s breeze.

Gentle words, yet sultry with

the rage of passion’s fire.

I love your words.

***

I love your words.

Warm, welcoming,

they speak to each other,

laughing at the intricacies

of life while

playfully teasing reality

with fantasy’s mystique,

with their letters littering

and blowing in the wind.

I love your words.

***

I love your words.

They dance with me,

swirling in my mind,

holding me close

blowing whispers warmly in my ear

making me feel young, alive.

One day, we will die.

The sun will swallow the earth

into oblivion. The stars will disappear.

But, I am in love with your words. Okay!

What a glorious love poem this is. As poets, we do love words and when we can truly drink in the beauty of another poet's words, it is heavenly. The imagery in this is splendiferous. Like a bouquet of flowers in an antique ewer, these words will always be in style and appreciated. Warm emotions flow freely in every line. Curt, you will always be a romantic. Your words are far more than "nice." Wonderful work.. Lydi**

[redzone]

romantic?? , drats, this poem was supposed to be about, blood, guts, heroism, glory, sacrifice... must have gotten my words mixed up... lol.. wait that is love isn't it?? sorry Lydi, it's thanksgiving and the aroma of turkey, stuffing and pie must be messing with my mind (more so than usual that is)...

Lydi, I often think that your reviews are much better that the poem I have written... so thank you... be well Curt

This is beautiful. While worshipping another's words, you have created lovely words of your own. They flutter like flower petals, daisy petals, whispering, "Love me, love me not, love me, love me not." The feminine in me loves the soft romanticism of this. Its whispers are warm and endearing.

[redzone]

aawww, now you did it Linda M, make the masculine in me appreciates the feminine in the romanticism you found in this poem.. not sure that can out right, so maybe I should just say thanks... ;0) words can also get you in big trouble!!!
