I smashed it down with love
this membrane between our souls
while you were weighing options
now your ointments lube my joints
ease my thinking into dancing
my kissing into a language…
I was at this same crossroad once
another century another countenance
something ephemeral irritates me, I hope
perhaps to rouse enough from all reverie
into waking to decipher your need

I too love the “ease my thinking into dancing” line, alongside the concept of easing “kissing into a language” – so beautiful! Also the concept of waking to decipher another’s need… selfless sort of concept. Lovely.

Maybe you were stenuously writing. 🙂 That’s the good thing about the web. Things from years back can re-present easily. Thanks, Steph! You reminded me of it too, as I had forgotten.

awww, pshaw. 🙂 sending you waves of virtual dark chocolate, preferably with dried orange peels inside… anyway — doesn’t time increase our skills?

dark chocolate – yum! never tried it with orange peels…interesting! Usually i have it w/ cherries, nuts or bananas. — time can erase our creativity and skills as our neurons die because its part of aging…and maybe it doesnt happen to everyone, including you?
