The moon

i draw my words
in your arms each night
sometimes the verse knots  
silver    strands  in  your  hair
sometimes the  phrases disappear
under  the  grooves  of  your cheeks
sometimes the  lines fold under the back
 of your knees or the arch of your foot
oftentimes  the   letters freely  fall
black  sea  pearls  on  your   hands


raw,     unpolished,     unmetered


your fingers touch coarse  edges 
inhaling red sea  and  oak forest 

  moon comes alive on your skin   


i write again
  




Doors open every Tuesday starting at 3pm EST.   Thanks for the visits and smiles.

  3. smiles...i think some times those raw and unpolished words are the most honest...we dont try to make them pretty....and sometimes its just hard to find the right ones to capture the moment....there is a nice sensuality to this both with them and the words...and then sometimes it just flows....and i feel that release there in the end of your verse...

    1. Capturing them is a challenge, without form or structure.

      Thank you for your sharing your thoughts Brian. I appreciate them ~

  4. Very sensual once more at your sea, but you have that down pat every time. And yeah the more raw the words, the more that can be captured I suppose as well, less thinking more ummm winking..lol

    1. You are sweet Steve ~ I don't always write in this manner..it takes a lot from me to write this way as my work drains me out at the end of the day ~

  17. You've just got this way of capturing those little observations - the little knots of hair -the lines , the arches of the feet- so delicately put..you are the master of this subject!

  23. Another excellente take on inspiration. I think if you ever held a training seminar on inspiration, it would be SRO. Enjoyed this always, but had to read with the window open.

    your fingers touch coarse edges

  25. Damn, I think we drank from the same well for our poems at dVerse...love the last four lines and how they play between our emotions and our bone-caged placed in nature...a multiple shimmy of a poem... :)

  30. now this was like making love with words :)

  31. Love the weave of imagery - making love, making poetry, making music very close to the same emotional center. So difficult for the creative spirit to separate them. I think it's why Picasso and the artists over time regardless of their medium called themselves poets. Lovely work here!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love the gentle eroticism of this. A great write with a perfect picture.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What a fabulous weaving or words and passion.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow, so beautiful! I loved the form that you created with these wonderful words. These stood out for me:

    your fingers touch coarse edges
    inhaling red sea and oak forest

    All so lovely and sensual...well done!

  38. Gorgeous!

    Love these:
    "the verse knots
    silver strands in your hair"

    "the lines fold under the back
    of your knees"

    "inhaling red sea and oak forest
    moon comes alive on your skin"

  40. Your words just created a magical picture. You know that, right? :)

  41. SO gorgeous!!! I love the way you describe words here:

    "verse knots
    silver strands in your hair
    sometimes the phrases disappear
    under the grooves of your cheeks
    sometimes the lines fold under the back
    of your knees or the arch of your foot
    oftentimes the letters freely fall
    black sea pearls on your hands"

    But really I could've just put the whole thin right HERE! So well done!
