Poetry: I Am Keeping
Her distant voice is tender
falling all around
caught up in her splendor
not one single sound.
Needs are always aching
quaking in my heart
I’m hers for the taking
from the very start.
Never are we speaking
seeking loving ways
writing passions tweaking
love poems all my days.
Always am I thinking
sinking in the need
trying hard and inking
words into the deed.
Truly is my writing
drifting in a dream
one that I am fighting
drifts along a seam.
Deep need ever creeping
seeping into me
always know I’m keeping
thoughts of me and thee!
Excellent play on words. 🙂
Thank you so much!
I just love the passion I read in your poetry. Oh to be loved like the women you write about…
There a few about 2 women in my past, the majority are fictional. They are fashioned from my imagination, where my love of all time lives…for now.
Imagination is good. It does what it is told 😆
It tells me how to feel and how to write. But youre, I mean she’s out there somewhere
😉
This is lovely. And I love the images you chose. It gives the poems ‘courtly love’ and noble, fairytale vibe. Bravo, Sir Robert!
Haha, thanks Meg
Nice !
Thanks Yaz
another one i want to keep between the pages of my journal, really loved the words that fell in rhyme and love with each other like the line did not want the last word to leave till the next line came along. and how cool to see the word thee used so lovingly! such strong feelings, more than love, almost ethereal that holds these two lovers together.
I debated that word for a long time lol. I may yet remove it. I put it in I took it out many times, and I don’t usually edited my work that frequently. Funny you should bring that word up.
When I read I feel the words, its not good for me sometimes, some words and writings grate and jar till I grind my teeth, no kidding, but some I can touch with ease, and what happens when you touch something, it comes into contact and gives its own vibe, so sometimes I can’t go on reading but other times I can’t stop because the feeling is too sensual, I touch the words as I read them and….never mind …its just hard to explain…but I loved that word, but you are the author, you have the right to do as you please with the words, this is new – you edit your work? interesting….I like a man who ruminates much! hey you dont have to reply me you know – I just like being here.
Great commentary as isual, I love your personality, truly. I do edit on occasion, if a line or word bugs me
thank you for understanding the words, I am grateful someone understands the mess that tumbles out – but I do love your poetry – especially the ones like this. there’s a certain way you arrange them that reminds me of taking a slow boat ride down a dark lagoon and seeing just a little bit of light before the clearing.
love this!
Thank you very much!
So beautifully written always am I thinking and there is definitely someone somewhere listening to these beautiful words.
One can only hope. Thank you for your comment and for reading my poem
Thanks and absolutely true Rob.
I always feel someone out there is feeling the exact same way as in your writing, but not sure if my feelings are right or they are deceiving me.
Can you speak to that some more? That’s an intriguing statement.
