    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)

    • This is all a great read but I absolutely love the last line!
      Great collaboration!

    • Amethyste is my birthstone, so I had to come and read something written by you. I am most definitely not disappointed!! You and Jim’s Music spoke to the desires of millions of people who want and need such a world. Count me as one of them. Your poem reminded me of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Really cool collaborating.

    With Eyelids Drawn

    With eyelids drawn, I look on, to a dawn that is now gone. So, I call on bygone dawnings, as I am an indrawn man. There is a spawning within the darkness of my shut lids. But I am sure my dawning will come, and the...

    My Dreamy Graveyard

    My dreamy world of writing is a graveyard shrouded in fog. Where each story has a grave, each grave has a character. These living, breathing corpses with open eyes, raspy voices and souls, gaze on through my eyes.
