standing in the doorway
your smile seduces me
your form visible ~ an outline
a presence that delights me
our hands reach across the void
but when I turn to you…you’re gone
can it be that you are nothing
but an apparition?
can I hope that your return
quells the want that overwhelms me?
This poem is a collaboration between summerstommy and ramblingsfromamum – she wrote the good lines.

then of course I have to be the 1st to hit the like button *smiles* Go away with you, I did not write the good lines at all. I guided and was happy to do so 🙂
lol…..couldn’t help myself..
Such longing in those lines, not a word was superfluous. Lovely.
Thanks Freya. Writing in this way is a little project I have set myself. Collaborating was a cool way to achieve a result.
I think I’d find it hard to collaborate in that way… A brave thing to do!
Actually Freya is was a good exercise. We disagreed, she sorted me out, all was good.
Ah, constructive disagreement… 🙂
Beautiful Michael!
Thanks Gabriella, I am trying to write these short expressive poems, this one with RM worked out well.
Wonderful job to the both of you.
Thank you BA. Your comments are always valued.
This is so seamless, I wouldn’t have guessed that it was a collaborative effort — lovely!
Thank you Marya, yes it was….amazing what two minds can conjure up..
Your collaboration is absolutely wonderful! Love it! I’m thinking you ‘both’ wrote the good lines! 🙂
RM is such a retiring little flower, modest as the day is long, I just had to sing her praises.
