In my mind I sail across the sea
Down your street
To you door
You answer
Invite me in
We play, we sing
We make love
We dance
Oblivious to all around.
In my mind you sail across the sea
I await with bated breath
You enter all nerves
Apprehensive
Unsure
We embrace
We talk
We make love
We never look back.
In my mind I see us hand in hand
One adventure after another
Down the road
Up the hill
Climbing, jumping
Laughing all the while.
We make love
Ponder our reality
Glad we are but kids at heart.

this is heartwarming <3. and it felt like a song, a real song. ❤
Thank you Rose appreciate you stopping by…
it is my pleasure. just been busy lately, hence I’m mostly absent. but i’m glad to read your words, again. 🙂
Pretty amazingly Michael!
Thank you must have understood me.
Brilliantly. Never had the experience of a poet sharing his work live over the internet. Do you think you’ll experiment more with this? Intriguing.
I think poetry read often gives it another dimension. I’ll see how I go.
I believe so.
Understood, perceived.
Oh and I had meant to add that I really liked the poem — I can picture the two sitting on swings in a playground, holding hands and moving as one.
We embrace/We talk/We make love/We never look back.
I go get the Kleenex/tissues. Hearts will melt.
Lovely, Michael. If only life was always that simple.
It would be nice wouldn’t it..thanks Lyn, wet at your place?
LOL oh yeah, it’s wet…very wet. “Lake Pearce” is up (our front yard) 😀
Been lucky here so far, just gentle rain most of the day…..if the lakes up in the morning you might be able to throw a line in, catch your dinner….😄😄
Poetry is intended to be read! You get it right 🙂 I do admit that without following the poem on the page, I would probably struggle with your accent – as you would surely struggle with my foreign learner’s accent. I’d need more material to get attuned to the way you speak and understand better!
Thanks Mara yes I agree the accent thing is something to contend with. My US friends tell me to slow down when I speak and I did notice it last year when I was on a tour with a group of lovely US folk who I think tolerated me and were too polite to tell me to slow down. Thankfully the language is universal in written form. Attuning to language does take time for example having taught a lot of Shakespeare I’ve learned to be able to listen to it and get what is going on. Thanks for visiting my blog and your comment.
Yes, it’s great that the written form of the language reaches everyone across accents and oceans 😉 I always consider it my inadequacy when I can’t understand someone’s accent. One should be able to process different accents…
We should be able to process accents but so many are cultural eg Scottish and Irish and others the result of living away from the world like mine. We don’t open our mouths enough when we speak, to keep the flies out, and we say things as if we are in a hurry. Like ‘ jahavagoodweekend?’ So what you hear is probably a lot of mumbling but I’ll try to sound at least mildly intelligent the next time.
I quite like your explanation of how you don’t open your mouths enough 😉 It’s not just that, it’s simply a different accent, a natural thing, I’m far from judging accents as “good” or “bad”.
Oh trust me mine is a good one after all would I lie to you?
Good 🙂
