      Love Sonnet IX

      Love Sonnet IX     Your skin is Earth tone, deep brown, fertile with flowering life and the fragrance of pine   and Mahagony-filled mountains. Oak and Sycamore take root in your breasts, as your mouth breathes in summer rain and exhales oceans of   whale songs sung in worldwide symphonies that burst with...

      • Well I don’t think any woman would know what to say after reading THIS, and it surprises me as I read your poetry how much alike we seem to express poetry, love and nature all together in oneness. This is beyond gorgeous… though it paint such a vivid imagery of flesh, but it goes deeper than this, speaking of a higher love as it flows through everything. Outstanding, magnificent and simply Breathtaking… Nirvana and “come as You are” perfect words for such poem… Thank You!

        • AAAWWWW!! And now I am blushing again. Light, what is “gorgeous”, is your comment.

          And I must also apologize, I have not read enough of your words to get to know your poetic expressions and beliefs. Something I will correct. My only excuse is that I am new here at SR and just beginning to feel my way around and reading the poetry here. Poor excuse at that.

          But I do agree and I am glad you see that we humans are capable of so much more than we are at present. We have the capacity of great love and understanding of everything around us, how we are both individuals and connected at the same time. We are small when compared to the world around us, and yet what and who we are can determine the fate of our existence. I think poetry should communicate this as well as be the center of how we shout against all oppression.

          Anyway, a much larger conversation. Thank you so much for your kindness and your comment on this poem, Light

      • Hi Mary, you swoon and I blush! er… I mean, can I blame it on those blue lips and eye shadow?? er.. there I go blushing again, what the hell!?? What I mean to say is, Thank you for such kind words and always welcomed visits. Curt, backing out the room before he is bopped upside the head. ;0)

        Damian

        • Thanks an awful lot Damian & then some .. Appreciations well n truly reciprocated kind sir .. Neville 😎👍

      • How incredibly kind of you, I really am so very grateful .. Your visit, the time you spent here and subsequent heart-warming review means far more to me than you might presently imagine .. Kindest of regards & wishing you all the very bestest of all good things .. Neville 😎👍

      • I’m glad we are on the same side .. and won’t forget the kind gesture .. My mum was a Mary too by the way .. 😎💜👍

      • Neville, many snaps and hell yeses, plus a ‘bag of chips’, as an old friend used to say.

        In a similar situation, my first wife had tears in her eyes when she handed me the papers to sign. Maybe it was thinking about failure, cause what she said was “we were supposed to be forever.” True enough, but we had both changed and couldn’t find what we once had. It was extremely disheartening, since it was her who had the affair and ended it.

        Life is strange I think. Why is it that even as memories become “fragmented” and “distanced”, they never go away completely, they haunt, reminding me of my failure to love her better.

        Curt

        • Ha’ you can beat an egg & a drum of course but you just can’t beat a decent bag o chips now can ya eh’ .. Thanks loads for stopping by these words of mine Curt .. it’s a funny old game isn’t it .. life I mean .. and what we can’t change or forget often makes for half decent poetry .. Kindest regards and best wishes for a bloomin brighter set of tomorrows .. Neville

      • sentiment seriously reciprocated .. 😎🌻👍

      • This kind of put me in a sad mood, separation, memories… the human psychic. when we think we moved on, yet suddenly something comes up and everything comes to the surface. yes true, life is unpredictable, what we might think it’s love in a moment, later it might appears it’s not, what we were once, later we might not be. from togetherness to separation.

        • Please excuse my delay in getting back to You my friend .. thanks a million for feeling these words .. You can obviously see write through me .. I love your visits & your insights .. Your ever-friend Me 😎🌻⭐⭐☀️🌞💛👍

          • Never applied apologize for such things my very dear friend🌺 and thank You for your sweet response obviously Mr. Neville knows how to put a smile on G girl Face😊 Thank You 🤍
