I Kiss Your Awakening

I Kiss Your Awakening


It is the night of our lovemaking
and the sky has parted
this distance between us
nothing exists
but our longing

the moon is insatiable
apple blossoms fall

our lips touch
the hunger inside

good night
My Love,
may your dreams be sweet
good morning
Beloved,
I kiss your awakening...

Love Is A Masked Bandit


Love is a masked bandit
who steals away
my last breath
and leaves me
with nothing but emptiness
in its place
impregnates me with
words
I have to write down
in a Poem,

my heart
beating
wildly,

captured
like a butterfly
and pinned
to a diaphanous
page.

remeniscence come unbidden, drawn from the fall of your pipers c

Ahhh there, see, intoxicating me again good woman, these words should come with a warning not to operate machinery under the influence, impending sighs may reign, reflective silences, remeniscence come unbidden, drawn from the fall of your pipers call. You pull straight to the heart with your words.

Yes who is it?

Is the beloved a hypothetical one? If so you are capturing yourself and there you are pinned here in your picture, you beautiful butterfly. I cannot imagine you not being captured already, you breathe love from each flap of your beautiful wings as you disturb the pollen to form letters on the page and engage us in your flight. As is your wont Anna, our magic friend Anna. Yours with love Ann of Norway

Dear Anna,

I am particularly enamored of "Love Is A Masked Bandit". The following phrases are the highlights for me. who steals away my last breath impregnates me with words I have to write down in a Poem, (I think you could discard the article if you want) my heart beating wildly, captured like a butterfly and pinned to a diaphanous page. Terrific poem! The butterfly is protesting in the minds eye. Very nice. Sometimes I think you write the best stuff when you are in a dark mood. Love often seems to be a kind of exquisite torture, which you wrestle into dark corners and are quite mixed in your feelings about the outcome. When you feel engulfed by love, you become its supplicant, mouthing sweet nothings, perhaps to feel the safer. And when you are worked up, the sizzle can sometimes be a bit scary. affectionately, Brian
