Jealous Lover

The air is a jealous lover
it comes between us
silence is a wicked tongue
that speaks not
for flesh and bone
and your hands have forgotten
my secret cave
yearning
for our body's bliss

Love, where did you go?

Have you wandered off to Paradise
and left me behind?

What a fantastic metaphor

Those first two lines open the path for the rest of the poem's impression. Honestly, Anna, I am so enthralled by that image that you could probably have written your grocery list after it and I wouldn't have noticed. Best, ~ Ronda

You just made my morning.

You just made my morning. That was beautiful! *wipes a tear* love ~ Ronda P.S. I read your comment after Peter's, and must agree. (or just copy Peter by mentioning his comment in mine - LOL) There are friends that I've known online for 9 years, some I have met, some not, but the friendships are just as real and precious as any others in my life - sometimes more so! Ah, the wonders of technology.

This Net thingy, this matrix

This Net thingy, this matrix of light is something else, how quickly we see into one another's hearts and form bonds. Who would have thought we can touch one another at the source? I think of all *poets* I have known you and Arvind the longest. How are you Peter? Peace Now. Love Always. ~A
