And....



And.....

It is within your motion, where your
beauty lies. Static does not suit you.
Your frenzied dance opens my heart.
My wind is borne blind on the other side of you.

And I feel.

I call your name with birdsong voice.
Your back remains mine with your
wolfing hips moving skyward.
My trees are held breathless in your landscape.

And I know.

You settle deep within my marrowed skin.
A joining of purest connection
in grazing circles of florid repose,
my stars run sunlit through your madrigal hair.

And I love.

Evocative and tender, Joni.

Madrigal hair...

The Tree Deva is amazing - is the artist local?

And trees breathless in your landscape is such a wonderful line.

Billie -

No, I found that picture on the web and just thought it was perfect for the poem. Thanks.

And I haven't forgotten about pomegranate martinis, life is just overwhelmingly swamped lately. After March, things might lighten up a bit.

You've had an incredible amount going on - the pomegranate martinis will be there when the right time comes. :)

I also found a great place to have them - on the corner of Tryon and C. Parkway - place called Mythos!

Billie -

Oh, who can resist a place called Mythos! Splendid. I will e-mail as things clear and we can make arrangements.

Wendy -

Glad you like it. :smile:

Beautiful, Joni, just beautiful.

I'm glad I didn't overlook the post right before this one. I left you a comment.
