there’s this thing you always do
i’m not even sure you really know,
and i’m not going to ruin it
by making you aware, if you don’t.
sometimes,
i’ll just be standing there
my back turned, making coffee,
the warmth of your little hand
will slide along…and reach my heart.
and your lips mouth little kisses
against my arm and i just look down,
breathing in the scent of your hair.
and it’s the smell…of everything i love.
sometimes
you’ll be talking, to yourself
your temple leaning so light against me.
i guess you do it…just ’cause i’m there
remind yourself, of things you have to do.
then just as quickly, as i’m breathing you in
you’ll be gone, this thing you do happens often
so i’m not going to ruin it, by making you aware.
and i guess you do it…just ’cause i’ll always, be there.

Swimming in Your Ocean
When I’m swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you’ll understand

as always, this poem was written to the tempo of
this song and can listened to as a soundtrack.
one of my fav songs, male voices, lyirics, bands
and spoof videos, an acquired taste::::enjoy::::

So wonderfull and warm.This, this is the Summer I like and admire, not the season, but people who emit their warmth, from their heart, with each their touch and each their thought.
and you are a friend i treasure, who keep this heart open,
and keeps me diving into the well just one more time. ty, Oloriel. *smiling*
I agree with Oloriel. Beautiful
…oh thank you so much…she did that thing she does again last night, i have to hope she won’t read this poem..*smile*
Reblogged this on 20 Lines A Day.
this was very very beautiful and touching…
ty very much, i really appreciate you saying that.
I’m mesmerized.
I rarely leave a comment unless I’ve read the other comments. Because I’m not a poet, my reaction to what you write comes from many directions.
i am so sorry, i was replying to a bunch of comments on ‘she’s like me’ and i just had that in my head while i was answering yours. please accept my apology.
and thank you again.
I enjoyed the drops of your own awareness to your surroundings, the coffee brew, the human contact of small habits that maybe overt yet, covert. Beautifully eclipsed by your hush tone. Fondly Debbie
thank you Debbie, so much. i’ve always been fascinated by the small details in life, things others might not notice but i always seem to. i have a head full of these details, from a lifetime of observing. i’m so glad you can appreciate them as you do, thank you again.
So smooth and soothing, yet sensual.
“…I’ll just be standing there
my back turned, making coffee,
the warmth of your little hand
will slide along… and reach my heart…”
Loved the flow… Beautiful!
Tanumoy, your reaction to my words always leaves a smile in my heart, thank you my friend.
Always a pleasure, sir… 🙂
ha. yes i can get pretty side tracked in that moment as well…smiles….it is the little things the small touches like that when they are not really even thinking about it that make being in a relationship really cool….
hey Brian, yeah me too. luckily, she hasn’t stopped that little unconcious thing she does, even after reading the poem. i don’t think she really knows she does it, how cool is that?
thanks brother for always reading my poems, it means a lot.
hey no sweat…hey did you mean to link the same as last week?
no Brian i didn’t, is that what i did? yikes, how can i undo it?
hey Brian, i already have 4 folks commenting,
i think we should probably leave it as is
but i would love for you to read what i intended to be there,
if you have the time..
Marvelously poignant.>KB
i live for those moments, i’m so grateful i could finally find the words.
thank you KB, you know how much i appreciate your insight.
It really was beautiful. Ego aside I have to be honest–I wish I’d wrtitten it. I think its the best thing I read of yours. You were in it but not self-concious about it. Really fine.>KB
and i think it’s also the best i’ve written KB, for the reason you stated; i wasn’t there. i wrote that very late one night, in a half sleep/half concious state in one draft, virtually no edits. i felt like i was in the same unconcious state she is in, when she talks to herself leaning up against me. and it’s so meaningful to me that you saw that, ty, ty, ty.
I love the way you incorporate the words with song as unrelated and same…
well thank you Katie Mia, i appreciate you telling me that and a warm welcome to you. love and music are the primary inspirations for me, sometimes it’s the lyrics, or the music, the tempo but with this one it was everything. i love this song, and i’m happy finally to be able to pay homage with my own words.
the words of a lover, tender, true
the thing YOU do
i’m a collector of small details hisfirefly, i can’t help but place these priceless moments on a pedestal. ty, for appreciating what i do.
This was beautiful caught in the magic of the little things that make ones heart pause..lovely that the hand reaches your heart.
thank you Truedessa, i’ve learned the little things are the fabric thatholds so much meaning to our every day. i treasure those moments.
Your first poem is quite lovely and warm.
Pamela
thank you Pamela, i have a soft spot for this poem because
i really do love that little thing she does. *smiles*
so beautifully tender, sensitive and loving..
thank you, and a very warm welcome to you.
these poems to her just spill out, i can’t help it.
I really love ‘Just ‘Cause.” Really warm and loving and real. Nice relationship poem. Smiles.
hi Mary and a warm welcome to you, ty so much.
i have to confess, i live for these small moments,
these little things that add so much texture and
subtle meaning to our relationships.
oh, she read the poem and still does that thing she does!
You’ve painted a warm picture in our consciousness of actual true love and embrace. 🙂
I like this a lot. 🙂
hi charliezero and a warm welcome to you, ty.
we’ve been together almost 12 years now,
she is truly the best to happen to my life.
the words feel effortless when i write about her,
and i’m so glad you could feel that in my poem, ty.
Very much so sir.
Love is a beautiful thing. I love my girlfriend so much with my whole heart. and I know exactly what love feels like.
🙂
well, how fortunate are we then, i’m exceedingly happy for you.
Love is a bottomless well of poetic inspiration, i must have
written 40 poems to Scout, my partner since March.
i just never get tired of writing about her!
awww…that’s so amazingly well said my friend. 🙂
So beautiful it brought tears to my eyes!
oh, Laurie now i’ve got the sniffles…
ty so much for your reaction, because i have to confess
that i’ve wanted to write about that thing she does for
a long time, but i just never had the right words.
i finally found them, and of all the poems i’ve written
this is my absolute favorite. so ty again, your reaction
just warms my heart.
I confess I haven’t done the video yet and may not, as I think I prefer the soft warmth of these words without other interpretation. “then just as quickly, as i’m breathing you in you’ll be gone” And gone is okay, because the love is still there, undemanding, strengthening and creating. Beautiful writing!, My friend, you have such a strong talent for expressing gentleness, that it is mesmerizing! And as an aside, thank you for your comment, Dang! You almost made me blush!
you certainly deserve the praise on that poem Mr M, anyway, blushing is good for your health!
i live for those tiny moments, and there usually isn’t a detail that i don’t see,
i guess it’s a discipline i developed observing, when i painted and sketched. our lives are filled
with such moments that usually don’t get noticed by anyone, between Scout and i, i want her to know i notice.
Well there can be no replacement for a keen eye and attention to the little things. Best of the day to you!
