Trapped (From Chat)

Trapped
under the weight
of my heart
cupped
in the palm of your
hand
crushed
by your fingers
squeezing
so tenderly
making me yearn
to take you
in my arms
and look
into jade green
eyes
until
you are
trapped
as am I
by
love

Thanks Maw

Actually, sometimes the chats are really a boon for writing. You would like it I think. Glad you enjoyed it. Nope, my wife is Vanessa and Tink provided a title we were supposed to write a poem to. After my anniversary trip you can imagine what was on my mind. *G* Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." "A Democracy can withstand anything but Democrats."

The weight of my heart

so tenderly squeezed oh-oh-oh such a short and explicit poem, so full of love in its glance of words in the mirror of our minds. We know. A moving piece like a precious stone. Jade perhaps? Your with respect Ann of Norway.

Thank you my Norwegian friend.

Redheads should always wear emeralds or green jade. So glad you understood the sweet love in this. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." "A Democracy can withstand anything but Democrats." Robert A. Heinlein

The Avatar is what inspired the "Wolf and the Rose". As for this one, I have already. *G* I appreciate it my friend and the advice also. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." "A Democracy can withstand anything but Democrats." Robert A. Heinlein

Lost in this one...

Wowie Rett! I am not by any means a romantic...but this one, as every other one of yours, is astoundingly graceful. Reading I could have lost my own heart in that moment, staring into jade green eyes...breathtaking. You my friend are simply amazing. Peace and Love Katie

Aww Shux

Thank you Katie. Very happy that you liked it. If you look back over my writing, you will see I don't write a lot of romantic poetry, but once in a while it is a nice change of pace. Thank you very much. Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water." "A Democracy can withstand anything but Democrats." Robert A. Heinlein
