escape

under that tree I kept it hidden
the sheen of your sweat
which had flowed for me in desire.
who dug it out,
along with my sensuality
which I had  packed inside a bubble?
the air evokes you for me,
moving in a lumber way-
now it blows too fast
leaving a wreck behind.

"I will again create a bridge and reach out for you"

Writing another keepsake poem was tough. I don't think I succeeded. Thanks We Write Poem for using my prompt for this week

Fascinating use of the words, with a lot of imagery that simply would not have occurred to me to use with those words. Well done.

I like that sensuality packed in a bubble. Makes me think of glass ornaments--and Bubble Wrap.

Nice 'sensuality' here. Thanks for 'jamming' with us over at Poetry Jam. Beautifully written.

I liked the sensual desire expressed in this piece that mirrors the feeling of being completely spent in your love but yearning for that moment again.

Margaret said...

Beautiful, but if he left her in a wreck the fist time, why would she want to revisit him?

vivinfrance said...

But you really did succeed. A lovely poem strongly sensual - what could be better than a poem for a keepsake!

A collage of love, no less...

Kathy Bischoping said...

You map those thin surfaces of air-tormented skin and sweat sheen superbly. A feather, it seems, could knock her over in this state.

reaching out always leaves the bridge intact, lovely poem
