the intangibility of nothing

the intangibility of nothing

1.

the yearning begins
the selfish heart
wants it all, and you
withdraw, Love

2

today
I wear
the decadent gown
of my youth, leave nothing
to your imagination, wanting to
entice you,
I hold out my arms,
the intangibility of nothing
raptures
my heart

3.

the fire of our breaths
in the moment of conception
breaks the chain of time
and space
we inhale,
exhale
shatter the moment
with promise,
we rise from ashes

4.

I am alone.

Now, touch me,
my Love.

Stay with me.

You place like a lacy leaf in front of us such visions

This is great stuff my Anna of the vapours and essences of love you cast upon us those strangely evocative perfumes and here we bath in the expression of their tangible intangability, you place like a lacy leaf in front of us such visions, of decadant dresses and the floating longings of no touch, you almost make us wish you to be in this mode as in it you swathe us into your poetry with such grace and tenderness such dream, such suchness. Lacy love to dear you Anna from Ann of the north.

My dear sister Ann from where the North wind touches the Aurora Borealis, we are but the products of our imaginations. I keep imagining myself all alone. :-) ~A

As for you Mr. Orphani of the enigmatic Mona Lisaesque smile, we're not talking about my son you know... Mama don't play that. ;-) ~A p.s. I laughed so hard when I read your comment, I almost choked. I'm still sniffling.

Dearest Anna

I am so glad I got out of bed today, this little gem made it all worth it, Alone in our own imaginations stands the beauty I try to put into words, I struggle, and you do it with the ease of an eagle, and I love watching you soar over earth mother ... its a lonely beauty we behold but one i think wont stay lonely forever someone out there is looking for you ... your words will be the way they find you, heart beating loud and strong ... I hear it from here ;) love and higgest bugs Jayne x x
