archives for you.

i dreamt…
i wrote you a poem last night
i traced the words with my finger
across the cotton coverlet
i wrapped you in
to keep you safe and warm
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
i watched
you breathing as you slept
sat on the edge of the bed
for hours remembering
every kiss i ever gave you…
every laugh i ever made you…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
i’ve sewn
all our memories together
into this blanket of love
i wrapped you in
so you will always remember
all that you are to me
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
i wrote
the poem lightly with my finger
so not to wake you
and over and over and over
i traced the words so you never, never forget
‘please… don’t ever… ever leave me’
.

who could know then 
dear friends…i didn’t plan on posting anything this morning, i wrote this yesterday and thought i could wait and post it when we returned from our vacation on the housebout……but i couldn’t.
how romantically sweet – sensual and honest…luscious my friend {hugs}
hhmm, luscious…i haven’t used that word in a while,
ty for the reminder and ty sweet friend. *smiling now*
Reblogged this on 20 Lines A Day.
I think that this one goes to the top of the list of my favorite written by you 🙂
geez, Sky….you and i have talked about some of the poems i’ve written,
and what they’ve meant to you. and for you to say this now about this poem,
i’m not sure what to say but, thank you so very much. it means so much to me.
Really fine piece of poetry.>KB
that means so much to me coming from you, thank you.
i’m not sure where this all came from, my partner and i are
reconnecting again, i guess it just triggered that old
fear of mine i carry around.
*sigh* this unfolds so delicately and feels very tender, truly caring and devotional. i was lost for comments anywhere these days but your poem made me find my words again. thank you for sharing this beauty, and for inspiration your writings always deliver~
yelena.. yelena.. yelena….you are truly so special to me,
what you say my words do for you, yours do for me….ty, so much.
*blushes* thank you so much, and your appreciaton truly means a lot to me.
well, your poetry and loyalty mean a lot to me.
and if you ever feel like talking, drop me a line sometime,
just add hotmail to the end of my screen name. *smiles*
(i wish i knew your name)
🙂
Yelena, i wish i liked my name enough to tell you, because i most certainly would.
but i will tell you, i just finished a Haiku about it, how connected are we?
but if you’re like me and like to address someone, ‘who’ is just fine!
Breathtakingly beautiful poem! I’m in tears.
“i’ve sewn
all our memories together
into this blanket of love
i wrapped you in
so you will always remember
all that you are to me”
I could have quoted the whole poem, but these lines touched me the most. I WISH I had written them. LOL!!
Your heart is so pure and your wife is one lucky woman.
it’s the words that go straight to my heart, as well Noora.
Scout and i are doing so great, rediscovering our love again as happens
in a very long relationship….and yesterday, i don’t know, i just got so
scared for awhile….so i just poured my scared into this poem.
oh, now you have me lookin’ for a kleenex….
Noora, ty so much for always reading these words of mine.
your comments and reactions just mean so much to me.
Exquisite.
thank you, so much.
Preciously written. Beautiful. 🙂
so sorry for the late reply, we were on the road..and thank you for such kindness, i really appreciate the encouragement. this poem just spilled out yesterday, i had no intention of posting anything on a travel day but i guess poetry has its own schedule! *smiles*
I read this as a mother-child poem… it was a warmer & purer love ~ Blessings friend, Debbie
I’ve talked a little about us rediscovering each other, i do beleive we’ve uncovered, transitioned into a deeper, more devotional ‘love’ now. and i’m not sure how to put words to it exactly to describe it, but i think what you said about ‘purer’ is, as always, so acuurate. ty so much, i learn so much from your comments and reactions Deb.
This is mesmerizing !
Like a silent secret prayer..
The world needs more love.. it needs more people like you!
Thanks for sharing this, dear friend!
~ Much Love,
M
….yes, it did feel like a prayer when i was writing it M, we are experiencing a rebirth, a renewal of our devotion to one another….this new love feels quite different than what we’ ve known, i’m trying to express what it is and how it feels in my heart.
….and yes, you are so right that our world needs more love…ty, your heartfelt reply tells me maybe i’ve begun to capture this in words…
{{{ h u g s }}} and love returned to you M.
i love the idea of wrapping someone in with a poem…what a place of warmth and comfort…
This is delicate and sensuous and so full of love – brilliant.
Well thank you for such a wonderful compliment. My partner and i are experiencing a renewal, a rebirth in our relationship, of our devotion and love..i’ ve been trying to find the words…..
Very romantic and heartinvading, it is like an Angels song of Love.
…ty Oloriel, seems like i’m surrounded by angels these days…. *smiling*
A glimpse into someone’s heart is a treasure, I feel as though we have experienced something quite beautiful and delicately powerful through your words. Enchanting!
Well, i can honestly say i held nothing back, this was my heart spilling all it knew how to say…ty my friend, for your sensitive reply, it means a great deal to me…
wow…so heartfelt…love the blanket made of their memories…the drawing of hte poem with your finger ever so lightly …and the hoping they never forget you there in the end…swoon-worthy…smiles.
Well, i’ll tell you Brian, this was everything my heart had to give..swoon worthy, wow ty..
How sweet and romantic ~ my heart fluttered ~ From reading the comments, I am happy to read that you & your partner are reconnecting and experiencing a renewal of your relationship ~
..oh thank you Grace, honestly we have the flutters here as well…how remarkable this all is, it has taken both of us by surprise, i guess it’s not a such a bad problem to have!
The tenderness expressed is handled with exquisite care. The composition itself is laid in layers like comforting blankets. This is a fine work in devotion and love. Great poem my friend!
..ooh, layers of comforting blankets…yes, that’s exactly how it felt while i was writing…comfort and safekeeping, her, our memories, our future….
..ty Mr Matthews, you are a gift….
I’m proud to be your friend.
…yeah, i feel the same way brother.ty..
I hope my sweetie doesn’t forget me either. Nice romantic piece, wckt.
Pamela
..oh,thank you Pamela, just a guess on my part but i don’t believe our sweeties will forget us!
Sigh… Intimate, sweet and beautiful.
…i love when a comment begins with…sigh..it lets me know that maybe my words expressed what i wished they would, ’cause that’s how i feel about her…i never tire writing about her either, thank you very much Ayala..
You truly let your heart speak in this prose-very nice. When I see your photo on your blog, you seem so deep in thought. It makes me wonder what you are thinking. So many men I have met just don’t ever have :deep thoughts, your lady is very fortunate to have a man who does! beebeesworld
hi beebee, i’m so happy to see you on my pages, ty. well, i will tell you i’m not a very religious person, more spiritual, but this is closest i’ve ever come to writing a prayer. that’s how it feels often, when i think on how fortunate i am having her in my life.
and thank you so much for mentioning that photo, and this might seem very odd to most folks who have no problem in front of a camera, but i most certainly do. this might be the first pic taken in 10 years, certainly the first one i asked to be taken, and only Scout could make me feel comfortable enough.
i knew i wanted that certain look i think i have, in my mind’s eye..
this is how imagine i look when i listen to her tell me something important, when i’m lost in what passage should be next in a poem i’m writing. it took hundreds of attempts, but finally i stopped fidgeting, felt serene and peaceful on our porch filled with flowers, with the midday sun behind us.
I liked it before and I like it again…so LOVEly
hi Liana and ty for the return visit,
i’m happy to see you here again.
please say hi when you can….
Beautiful and so very, very sweet. This poem would work well in a dictionary to define the word LOVE.
ty Sis…heh, i still remember the night i wrote this, the warmth
in my chest as i penned each word…yeah, it was LOVE alright!
Very, very nice.
ty so much Dawn, i’m so glad you liked this poem.
So tender, so TRUE….now that is love. You have me misting up 🙂
Melanie, we’ve been together near 13 years now, but there are days when
i just come apart at the seams, and irrational fears grip me and this poem
was written on one of those days. i sat on the bed as she was sleeping
thinking of what my life was like before her……and would be IF.
and yes, i too had stuff in my eyes that night.
