I want to sit where only birds are heardI want to sit where only love is shared
I want to sit where peace is a placid lake
and joy is the rising sun and the croak of frogs
I want to stand as trees stand against the breeze
I want to stand as flowers wave their skirts
I want to stand with the sun on my face
and float on the day as the clouds in the sky
I want to hold your hand as if a first date
I want to hold your eyes as puppies do
I want to hold your thoughts as the night holds stars
and dream away the dreams of children at play

May I kiss you?
Depends. If you are good: yes. If you have money: yes. If you will electrify me with the divine fire: yes.
Yes, no, yes. Too bad...
LMFAO. You only had to get one right, not all three. :-D
Good, then these are for you... XXXXX!!!!!! and there are plenty more where those came from. =)
Better strike while the iron is hot. Or, if you prefer a farming metaphor, better may hay while the sun is shinning. :-D
So inviting and engaging, so stirring, it feels close, intimate, in trying to explain as though you took my hand, asked me to close my eyes and sentence for sentence painted the dream in heart and mind, sharing so entirely the serenity, the falling away of encumbrances large and small, the oneness of only, one is left with a visible picture of desires that were always there. Pure, wholesome loveliness, food for the soul, I want to thank you, officially and again, for allowing us to watch through your eyes.
You know, this poem is pure sap, but I have to say this, as sappy as it is, and it seems more sappy today than when I wrote it, the sentiment is as sincere and the need as genuine as I can be. This poem is not what it seems. This, like many of the others, goes under the "work" category.
Just listened to the commentary. I think it was a good idea to explain as sometimes we are perceived in an unintended context. I would have gone outside...
If I did that then I wouldn't have written the poem. ;-)
"I want to hold your hand as if a first date"
You say sap, I say *sigh*. I like sappy poetry :D
I've enjoyed looking at the images and reading your words. A very nice visit. Hope you are having a good week Tree.
Thanks Jen. Same to you and yours.
Oh, Trée, I would have given up the words for the poem that simply 'was.' I am glad you wrote it. Did you ever go outside afterward?
