Maybe not the first
But with luck, the last
You have shown me something
Something I’ve not yet known
You make winter smile
Spring, summer and fall must follow
I may say I love you
But I may just love your company
Perhaps in time
Your glance will meet mine
And negate the spoken words
To transcend all
Me in your arms
You in my heart
Feel me through letters
That spell my emotions
In black lace
Limbs awry
Wednesday night
I love you

Worry about Thursday morning in the morning!
ReplyDeleteYou got it Mama! Live for the moment and if the moment leads to a new day or new season...

now i'm getting a bit envious of your wednesday nights..smiles...black lace..hmmm... your wednesday nights seem so much more exciting than mine..smiles... love the spirit in this mark and the underlying sensuality..
ReplyDeleteYou flatter me Claudia. Your poems exude sensuality. I fumble around in the dark.
ReplyDeleteAh to be in lust on a lovely hump day,
ReplyDeletewith that black lace as muse, and
someone new, someone auditioning
for partner, or at least companion.
A "Butkus" can write no wrong.
We gotta stick together Glenn...maybe not too close together. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a natural and simple-seeming outpouring, full of fine lines and lush imagery, yet with depths of thought, very concise and clean, as well. I love it when poets write about love.
ReplyDeleteoh nice...hump day...haha...but i might call wednesday every day with the right kind of motivation you know...nice write...
ReplyDeletehey thats a fine ending - really whips up a triumph... enjoy your evening ;)
