Poets Paired~

I approach in prints

Fingerprints in swirls

Press my patterns

Into your shoulder blades

Lotus tattoos illuminate the base of your skull

Where dreams breathe

On the nights when sanctuary displays through touch

Tracing spine trance

While

Lip prints in cupid bow

Complement the curve of your jaw

Dyeing your dimpled smile with blush

Languid and unhurried

While

Heart prints in resilient rhythm

Caress your rib’s cage

Compelling

Soul prints

In ink between your dancing fingers and mine

Playing cat’s cradle with a thousand words

You add your prints

Between us

There is poetry

This was a beautiful, sensual, intimate look at touching and how good it is for the soul. I am sure it could be taken in many different ways, but this is how I saw it. Intimacy does not always have to involve sex. It is a moment of recognition between two people. This was so so lovely. I really enjoyed reading it!

[Lachenille Papillion]

This is the making of another book, all in itself, Selene... beautiful

"Soul prints
In ink between your dancing fingers and mine
Playing cat’s cradle with a thousand words
You add your prints
Between us
There is poetry"
~i love these lines~
u have touched every unforgettable sensation
of the emotional/physical connection of artist
in this poem~'tis a sensual rapture/intellectual pleasure
of the fingernails of the physical & the conductivity
of the eternal intillect of the cognition of inner peace.
"While
Heart prints in resilient rhythm
Caress your rib’s cage
Compelling
Soul prints"
~but this is the Poetic-Nirvana eternity~~GOD & Us !

[I Am Svetlana]

Such beautiful imagery. I could see each line clearly in my head. It smoothed with such grace and true talent. Wonderful write. And I love the ending, "Between us, There is poetry" such a true line. Great job!

not vague at all

[Fran Marie]

A magical piece of writing .....nicely penned in poetic expression~

Well DonE!!

[Ed Hart]

you surely disturbed the ether with this one...the ripples reached all the way to my entranced spine...yes, my dear, there is poetry

[Fabian G. Franklin]

It seems very vague to me... I find myself wondering what is going on...is someone painting? tatooing? drawing? writing? Why are there "fingerprints in swirls" and "ink between your dancing fingers and mine" Is it literal or metaphorical? To me, the words sound nice the way they are...but it leaves me craving clarification and symnetry...is the base of someone else's skull "where dreams breathe"...whose dreams; yours or theirs or are all dreams shared between the two? I love the ending..."between us there is poetry"....but then...I see the entire universe as poetry...I have no choice in the matter. Life is just a song and every mortal and tree and star are only notes in the harmony of the universe. I suppose from the title and the ending that the poem represents the writings of two poets...or the comparison of life to poetry...I'm still undecided.

"Between us
There is poetry"

That's quite obvious Dear.

"Where dreams breathe"
This piece is worth breathing in.

I'd tell you you're a remarkable writer but then I'd be stating the obvious.

So I'll put it to you this way. If your words are "Where dreams breathe" then I chose to be enveloped but the oxygen of the gods. Where your poetry gleams like spun gold and adorns a page like polished jewels. J'adore =)

[Dream Weaver]

If I hadn't said it before I'll say it now...Your writing continues to inspire many myself included.. This poem is a perfect example! Loved it :)
