Post-valentine note



I love spilling the page     I love ripping pages
I love falling over & over     I love pause
I love feverish words, climbing like ants, blind as bats

 I love silver teaspoons    I love spooning at night
I love long afternoon walks     I love getting lost
I love red, reddish & magenta like sinful velvet cakes 

 I love heat & pancakes for breakfast    I love fast & slow
I love opening small boxes    I love putting ribbons in boxes
I love pattern of leaves, rings in trees, streaks of sunlight  

 I love the smell of fresh coffee    I love dancing to Latin beat
I love sizzling steaks      I love sea salt baths
I love hiss-hiss-hiss of teapot    I love tip-tap-tip-tap of rain

 I love melting snow      I love melting together    
I love skin      I love scents     I love colors   
I love waking up to another day with you--

    I love these comparisons Heaven, literally can feel the sensuality oozing out of this, "I love silver teaspoons I love spooning at night," is one of the most beautiful lines in anything I have ever read in my life and I mean that, WOW.

    "I love feverish words, climbing like ants, blind as bats"

    Like this poem, its repetition and its caesura making me feverish, though not sick, not sick at all. Un-Valentine's day poems are the best! Happy, Happy.

    Yes! Isn't it fabulous to be in love with incarnation? Sweet sights, sounds, tastes, aromas, tactile sensations! Every time I have been at death's door - the tunnel of light -- I have raged to return and continue on with wondrous life. Have I done enough with it? Maybe not. But I do love being here and I appreciate how you have communicated that same sense of delight in all the details of living. But isn't it a little crowded in here, waking up to the entire d'Verse gang?!? LOL http://youtu.be/dWwvS0-Brg8
