I sit on the staircase
sew drooping eyes on that doll
her glossy frock is now muddy
I drop purple kisses on her head
I forget about that hook I lost,
that gourd which turned bitter;
the duck I plucked before
now my fingers extract love
"plant it so that mind and matter merge together"

i think they infuse love too, when they touch and work with caring intent. lovely.
Ummm, I really like this! read twice to savor.
You are so right, troubles bubble up and we worry, but simple sweet wonders like this are there for the taking whenever we tune in to them.
Extra lovely, thanks.
Sounds like a much-loved doll.
I love the doll description, the love extracted from imperfection. Purple kisses sound lovely. This 55 feels comforting.
Purple kisses will surely bring the doll to life as they did you 55. Nice one.
Purple kisses melt troubles away.
Lovely.
Perfect application to the assigned themes.
Excellent job My Friend.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
I like the idea "now my fingers extract love".
Image of sitting on staircase stictching doll touches me.
I like the last line especially:
"plant it so that mind and matter merge together"
There seems to be a sadness to me in having to 'extract love'.
One super wonderful 55!
My 55 is a double whammy this week, two for the price of one. Of course, as always, you need to scroll down below my Friday's Show n Tell.
The link is HERE I'd love to have you stop by for a visit.
The plucked duck and your fingers extracting love...yes.
Nice one and I like its conciseness.
'extract love' got me.
Let me just express..that I always get amazed on the natural spontaneous thoughts you appear to be putting effortlessly..God's grace, this! And we are lucky to be reading you..touch wood!
Gautami excellent use of the words!
So, if you don't mind it don't matter? (LOL!)
Nice, deceptively simple 55.
Gautami, there is such a sense of ease and even comfort to your poem. I really like what you did with the wordle and you make me realize that I need to practice these more often,

"purple kisses" - that just resonates. The idea of extracting love is really unique and interesting to me.
aaww - what a perfect purple kiss moment - beautiful
Such lovely concise images. That purple kiss lingers.
Beautifully expressed :-)
It's amazing how an enjoyable task brings peace to an unquiet mind.
Funny how an old doll being sewn can bring so many thoughts to the surface!
Lovely 55. Raw and full of emotion.
Ahhh a purple kiss. Nothing better. Such simple things bring such pleasures. :) Well done my friend. Have a great weekend :)
A kiss in any color is love. Wonderful 55.
