dancing verses


paint splashes
over that canvas
hiding what?

hiding thoughts
rise so high
only to fall down

downfall-
scraped knees
kiss the earth

kissing the ground
smells heaven
it feels like home

homing emotions
arouse instincts
of nesting intensely

intensity for me-
equates to nuzzling
deeply into you

deeply into you
my pores
drenched with love

A lovely sentimental nuzzling..especially when you are trapped in a frozen wasteland like I am. Last night we were nesting. It went from a balmy above zero melt at noon to 20 below with 50 kph winds within a matter of hours.
Nesting evolves into full blown coccooning under these circumstances.

I also liked the ebb and flow of the relationship..never static..and if it were it would be a warning..a portent of some calamity to follow.

I love that line, just like it seems others do as well. I understand it. I feel the same way when I have my face tucked perfectly into the bend of my husband's neck.

Beautiful poem.

I love the way you've linked the verses together. Your use of this verse form is very successful.

very intriguing linking..I am now wondering whether a similar experiment could be done with images.

Why it is that the paint has to hide something on the canvas? Why can't it bring something to light?

Sorry. That was the first thing that sprang into my head when I read that first stanza. Guess I'm tired of hiding and ready for another fight. I'd better get over that FAST. I'm tired of fighting.

this structure still interests me
like the end a lot:
"intensity for me-
equates to nuzzling
deeply into you

deeply into you
my pores
drenched with love"
(perfect for upcoming Valentine's Day" or any time...)
